My ex-husband is involved in a medical malpractice suit which happened 11 years ago. I have been divorced from him for almost 10 years, and remarried for 8 years. I was called (at work) by the hospital's attorney to give a deposition as a witness concerning his physical condition after his surgery. Clearly, I have no memory of this, and wondering if I am obligated to respond after all these years? I had no prior knowledge of this suit, and was caught totally unaware. What is my obligation?
