Legal Question in Family Law in California
When you want to subpoena bank records for someone during divorce proceedings, do you subpoena the person or the bank? What if the person does not comply with the subpoena?

I'm not a family lawyer. However, in civil cases, you can demand them from the other litigant if they're relevant, and subpoena them from the bank after giving notice to the consumer (there's a form to complete). The other party will have a chance to object based upon privacy and other issues and seek a court order to quash the subpoena.
