Subpoenas in Family Law
Can opposing party ask for a subpoena for financial data when there is no longer a court order financial obligation (spousal support) in effect? Do they have to have a reason for a subpoena and if granted, does the other side have to produce?

Generally, financial information is priviledged and not discoverable. However, there are numerous exceptions to this generalization. You may want to consider bringing a motion to quash the subpoena in court and have the judge decide whether you need to produce the records.
