  Extradition is a measure taken in  criminal cases.  Divorce is in civil/family court.  It is possible that the Court may not grant the divorce in your absence, or could issues an order to show cause as to why you did not appear, which could result in contempt, which could be punishable by incarceration, but would unlikely result in an order of extradition.   Personally, I suggest hitting the "easy button."  Call the judge's office, explain to the judge's assistant the issue, and see if the judge will allow you to appear by phone.  At the end of the day, rather than risk not having the divorce granted, it is probably easier to arrange to appear in court if the judge requires your presence and won't let you appear by phone.     Since I am not familiar with Missouri law, you might also check with local counsel in Missouri, who may be able to appear on your behalf, which is likely less costly than you making a personal appearance.

  Even if the Land Rover was in the name of the business, the business is a marital assets (assuming it was formed during the marriage...if not, parts may be-beyond the scope of this response) and therefore the car is an asset of the business. It may be considered dissipation, but one would have to figure out the  net value of the vehicle (Land Rover) at the time it was sold.  That equity would be the "marital asset" that could likely be added to the equitable distribution pot. I hope this helps.   Best wishes, Cindy S. Vova Law Office of Cindy S. Vova, P.A. 8551 West Sunrise Blvd. #301 Plantation, FL 33322 info@vovalaw.com 954-316-3496    

Generally, your question is one of whether or not a bailment has arisen, and you don't provide enough information to be able to answer your question specifically. In general, you should contact your ex in writing (using a method that you can prove later, like sending a letter by US mail, return receipt requested, or at least by email or text message if you can prove that your ex owns that email address or telephone number), and advise her to come on a mutually convenient date and time to get her property, including the dog, or they will be deemed abandoned after 30 days of her receipt of your communication (letter/email/text message), and will be disposed of. If you are confident that you can prove she received your communication, then you may generally proceed to dispose of the property. You should continue donating personal property and clothing, rather than just throwing it out, and finding a good home for the dog. You should consult with an attorney to discuss the specifics of your situation, and your options.
