That is up to the judge. It depends on how many bench warrants, how many times did the person fail to appear, and what are the exact charges.

Added: There is no such separate criminal charge as "Bench Warrant."

A bench warrant is simply an order by a judge to law enforcement to present you, forthwith, to the court to appear on the underlying charges already levied against you. You will be tried and adjudged on the underlying reason for the original charge and THEN, if the judge deems it applicable, an additional sentence may be added for your status as a fugitive from the court.

The consequences for this type of crime can be extremely severe. Following an arrest for any type of criminal charge, especially for domestic violence, battery, assault, or another violent act, it's imperative that you protect your son's rights. Do not take this situation lightly. If you have not already done so, speak with a criminal lawyer immediately. You should not ignore the subpoena.

Do you have to register a domestic partnership in California if you live in Nevada but work in California?

No. Nevada only recognizes domestic partnerships registered in Nevada and will not recognize a California DP. California will recognize a Nevada DP, and treat it the same as a marriage. So, for the purposes of receiving domestic partner benefits from a California job, a Nevada DP should be sufficient, although individual employers may try to impose unnecessary requirements. For the purposes of ensuring spousal rights in CA in the event of hospitalization or death, a Nevada DP should also be sufficient.
