H.  Warrants

C.R.S. § 19-1-114(5)(b)
A bench warrant may be issued for a parent, guardian, or other person who resides with the child who, after having an order of protection entered against him or her, fails without good cause to appear at any proceeding. Good cause applies to an out-of-state non-custodial parent or guardian, an out-of-state custodial parent or guardian for whom appearance would cause undue hardship, and an in-state parent or guardian who is out of state during the proceedings and for whom appearance would cause undue hardship, unless the absence is to avoid the court appearance.

C.R.S. § 19-3-504
Any person who is served with a D&N summons, and who has acknowledged service, but who fails to appear without reasonable cause may be held in contempt of court. If the summons cannot be served after reasonable effort or if the child needs to be brought immediately into the custody of the court, a bench warrant may be issued for the respondent or for the child.

Baltimore v. Bouknight,  493 U.S. 549 (1990)
An order to produce a child or tell a child’s whereabouts does not violate the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.

C.R.S. § 19-1-112
A search warrant may be issued to search any place for the recovery of any child believed to be dependent or neglected. The application for the search warrant must:
  • Be in writing supported by affidavit sworn to or affirmed before the court;
  • Name or describe with particularity the child sought;
  • State that the child is believed to be dependent or neglected, and the reasons upon which such belief is based, including why it is necessary to obtain a warrant;
  • State the address or legal description of the place to be searched.

The court must be satisfied there is probable cause to believe that grounds for the application exist.
