Well, actually, they can't issue a bench warrant for failure to appear for a court hearing that he was never noticed to appear at. However, borzoimom is right, your daughter Must appear at that hearing. She can ask the Judge to continue the restraints, and he may listen to some of the other concerns she has. At the next court hearing even if her husband has not been served the Judge may make the restraints permanent (issue a final restraining order). Your daughter should take a copy of the final order to ther local police department to be put in their files as well. Just make sure that your daughter shows up at every court hearing in relation to that restraining order, whether he shows up or not. I have seen RO dismissed for lack of prosecution because the complainant didn't show up.
