Yes. You can be served in any country. It is unlikely that any country would pursue you for extradition, since it would be a civil court matter, but you would be liable for the finding of the court if it went against you, and since you wouldn't be there if you stay in France, it probably would.

You can be summoned anywhere by any court for appearance in civil litigation. You may defend yourself personally or through any authorized lawyer. You may choose to go ex-parte. But in criminal cases, the law is different. You will firstly be arrested by US Police and then extradition proceedings will be initiated to deport you to France.

I'm no lawyer, but it's my understanding that any citizen might be served, but any penalties for failure to respond would come under extradition procedures. It seems that in the case of testimony and such that it would be likely that a deposition would be arranged if at all possible for the convenience of all concerned.

Join some of Yahoo's men's groups, they know all that stuff.
If it all turns sour then change your identity; again the men's groups know all that. Especially the fathers groups.
It may take you a while to find the right guys but they're out there; I've met a few who are living under new names. Thailand is great too.

They can serve you, but you can tell them to bugger off. Just don't plan on going there for the rest of your life.
If they want you for a felony the feds can ship you over.
