If my fiancé and I are supposed to show up to court to testify against someone, what will happen if we do not show up?
We don’t want anything to do with this case anymore. We are moving out of state and just want to be dropped from this case.

If you don't show up in court for the hearing, you will be charged with failure to appear and a bench warrant may be issued for your arrest.
If you received a subpoena to appear in court, it is very important to appear.
