It depends on the reason for which you were summoned. If you have custody of the children, then yes, the Court can issue a bench warrant for you to appear. If you were seeking custody, the court would probably just dismiss your case and rule by default for the other party.

Yes - the court can hold you in contempt and issue a warrant for your arrest.
