Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Re: Divorce - subpoena for work emails

If the emails pertain to a legitimate issue in your case, she's entitled to see them. "Personal" would be defined as anything not pertaining to your employment duties. As for those directed to your attorney, s/he should seek to quash the subpoena as to them on the basis that they were privileged communications. However, your wife in response may claim that you should have known when you sent them that there would be a record accessible by third parties, and therefore you had no reasonable expectation of privacy. But I think on balance a court would not allow her to obtain those emails (between you and your attorney).

Divorce - subpoena for work emails

Unless your employer specifically allows you to use his computer for personal e-mails, any e-mail sent to your attorney from your employer's computer would not be subject to attorney client privilege.
