My boyfriend is currently incarcerated, thus, unable to pay his ex wife child support (which, she should have begun collecting FOUR years ago, not waited until now). I refuse to give her information as to the whereabouts of his father and the address that we are going to be living, so that she can give the information for her case against him. I do this because as long as she receives her money, it is none of her business. Isn't it up to the child support services and the courts to find out where he will be upon his release from jail for their claim. Is it really possible for her to subpoena.me because I refuse to divulge his parent's phone numbers and residency information? after all, i was not with him before or during his divorce, thus, i have nothing to do with their debates.

* For one, he could not pay child support because he was incarcerated at the time (the courts already know this)
* For two, he has already agreed to pay her the child support when he is released and finds a job. She said that if he does not find a job within seven days, she will sue him.
* For three, she could very well either contact his lawyer OR she could write him in jail herself, and simply ask him for the information.
It really is not up to me to give out information to someone that I hardly even know because the issue does not regard me. She is just too stubborn to go about collecting the information herself, so she harasses me constantly to give it to her. I'm the, "new girl", so it does not sit well with her.

Why would you withhold that, and allow your man to be more of a deadbeat than he apparently already is?
And why are you living with his parents? Grow up, honey. Your man is locked up and you're going to live with his parents, it seems like you have enough to worry about without making life hard on his ex just on principle.
But the answer is, yes, of course she can. Show up in court and act like she's not entitled to the information, see how far that gets you. Or better yet, ignore the subpoena and you can be in jail with your boyfriend.

She, or more accurately her attorney, can subpoena anyone they believe has information relevant to the lawsuit. If your ex-boyfriend will be living with his father after release, that IS relevant information. You can challenge the subpoena if you wish. I suspect if you write the court and state you have no knowledge of where he will go upon release and that you believe that information can be better obtained from his parole officer, you stand a good chance of having the subpoena dismissed. I am assuming he will have to register his address with a parole officer when he is released. You can truthfully state you don't KNOW he will reside with his parents on release.

Sure she can subpoena you, whats to stop her? You don't qualify for executive privilege.
You have information, so does the parole board.
Child support is court ordered. The only thing you haven't mentioned is the child, does he see her? Or did he throw her away? That he didn't pay for so long isn't her fault. Its his.
If you have a brain in your head you better be careful, this isn't a promising beginning to anything but a sad ending with a parolee who owes years of child support to a child whose mother is being blamed for his lack of support.
You may think you can keep yourself clear of all his mess, but trust Grandma, you will be in it up to your nose.

Yes....
Her lawyer, via the court can supoeana (order) you to appear in court as a material witness if she is suing your boyfriend. If you refuse to appear the judge can issue a contempt warrant. The Sherriff will then forecibly if neccessary bring you before the court to answer the ex's lawyers questions. The judge can, but it is not likely that he will attempt to force you to answer questions you do not want to answer by keeping you in jail until you are willing to answer.

If the Court wants the information they can but not her.
By the way,what are you doing with this loser.Convict? Not paying for his children's needs? Oh you need to run away or you will be in the same fix as her.

you both sound like losers to me. it became her business where he will be living when she gave birth to his child. it's pretty messed up you would support him being a dead beat dad. no matter if she could start collecting it 15 years ago or yesterday... if she needs money for HIS kids, she should get it.
