How do I take care of outstanding tickets if I now live in another state?
I recently moved to CA and now have a warrant in NE due to outstanding tickets. I was pulled over for expired tags and also received a ticket for no insurance. My car was repossessed within a week of the ticket. My boyfriend, daughter, and I made the desicion to move to CA for a better life at the end of November. Now, here I am in CA and the county I received the tickets in is saying that I have to go to court in NE to take care of it. I have absolutely no money and am fearful of applying for work with a warrant. What are my options?

Unfortunately, you will have to personally appear in a court in the jurisdiction of where the ticket was issued. In ther wordsm you will have to go back to NE. And frankly, since this is now a criminal matter, you really shuld have legal counsel. At this point, you should contact an attorney in NE who can best advise you further.
