Is there a legal way to stop extradition from another state due to a bad check over 20000 dollars?

Yes. An extradition happens because a person has an active warrant in one jurisdiction and is later taken into custody in another jurisdiction. If a person knows he/she has a warrant for a bad check in another state, they can avoid the issue of extradition by traveling to that state and clearing up the warrant before they are taken into custody elsewhere.

Can a warrant be issued for an arrest after 13 years for a bad check?

A 13-year old is a minor. A check is a legal document. Minors are not allowed to sign legal documents. Therefore a check shouldn't be accepted in the first place from a 13-year old. If one did accept such a check he does so at his own risk, because it's inconceivable to believe that the State would issue a warrant in this type of situation. ADDED: I do not believe the questioner was asking about a 13 year old INDIVIDUAL, but was asking about a 13 year old BAD CHECK. If that is the case; It depends on the statute of limitations for that offense in the state in which the check was 'uttered.' It also depends on if the warrant was issued durng the Statute of Limitatins, because once a warrant was issued it means the charges were filed. If this is the case then there is no statute of limitations. However, as stated above, if 13 years has passed and no charges were filed then the Statute of Limitations has probably expired.
