NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You can apply to the court for a protective order or to quash the subpoena. Without appearing in California before the court, I am not sure if it would be possible without the aid of an attorney. Since this involves a California case, you should probably pose this for California attorneys who may have some ideas how to help you there.

Re: Subpoena Help

You can file a motion with the court that entered the subpoena to quash it. Otherwise, the bank has to comply.

Re: Subpoena Help

This is a subpeona for purposes of discovery to assist or aid in the determination of the property settlement out there. It is not meant to be an "invasion of privacy", but to that end, there must be some relevance or reason to seek out your bank records. I would get an attorney to look at it and follow his advice. If appropriate he can then file the motion to quash the bank's subpoena. Will the bank do it as a favor to its customer.
