I would imagine that it will be a warning advising her that should she fail to appear again she will be considered in contempt of court and suitable punishment be looked at by the court.

She's done herself no favours wasting the courts and everyones time as you can only delay the inevitable so long. She's also helping your case by proving to the court how obstructive she is.

In addition, if there are no welfare issues the court MAY make an order in her absence.
