do i have to answer a subpeona in a domestic violence case? i was the victim but have moved on physically and emotionally. i believe the person has suffered enough (almost a month in jail) and don't want to help the case against him.

Re: subpeona
Failure to respond to a subpoena may carry a host of problems (i.e. criminal or civil liability). I hate to tell you this, but 'yes' you do have to answer a subpeona.
In your situation, the best thing you can do is consult with an attorney to ensure that your privacy rights are maintained. An attorney would also know what objections to make that would be responsive to the subpoena while still maintaining your desire not to produce documentation or responses.
I hope this helps.
Please feel free to contact me with you questions you may have.
Thank you,
