How long before your let go in Kansas if county that issued warrant wont extradite?

Questioner is confused. Extradition only applies when retrieving prisoners from state to state. Extradition does NOT apply to in-state warrants. Since the same set of laws apply all over the state, he can be held under a valid in-state warrant with no further legal action required by the apprehending county. Are you sure that you're not being held for action on local charges? If the county that wants you hasn't sent someone to pick you up yet, file a Writ of Habeus Corpus.

No. Utah and the other 49 states within the United States of America tend to respect, and cooperate with, each other's extradition requests.

But neither Utah nor any one of the other states makes decisions once the involvement of a country other than the U.S. is established. For the involvement of another country always calls for the presence of the federal government as decisionmaker.

Can you get an annulment with children and still have your ex-spouse pay for court ordered child support and alimony?

Child support may be ordered any time there is an absent parent. Alimony or maintenance is almost always temporary - until the obligee can become self-sufficient.

Added: You can't have it both ways. You can speak with your church or religious leader about the possibility of the marriage being annulled in the eyes of the church, but (especially since there were children of the marriage) you cannot have it ruled, as a matter of law, that the marriage never occurred in the first place. The most you can hope for civilly is a divorce. HOWEVER - as the father of the children (either natural or adoptive), the father will be held responsible for contributing a certain amount to the support of the child(ren). Any alimony for the spouse would become a subject to be settled in the divorce action.

There are no statutory time limits on the extradition process - 'it takes as long as it takes.'

Will they extradite from Washington to Iowa fo misdemeanor warrants?

Iowa does not extradite for misdemeanor warrants as a general rule of thumb UNLESS the Judge Orders it. If you google "Iowa Courts" you will be able to find the Iowa Courts Website and find out whether or not your charge is extraditable. They have their records online and you can search your names. Under the "Disposition" or "Bonds" it will say "Extradition" and if it says "Y" they are looking to extradite you and if there is a "N" then they aren't seeking it. Most states don't bother to extradite misdemeanors, so don't listen to blow holes who tell you to freak out over a simple charge. Felonies are different, almost all states extradite.
