Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
non disclosure of assets
I have uncovered 17 different pieces of evidence, checks written by husband (at time), an account CMSC listed in his handwriting on notes he listed with all other assets of ours, Fidelity statements he had sent to his sister's house ( the person who helped him and is helping him move money and who works for aninvestment firm) checks he had written to CMSC...
he is already up on a contempt charge which has led to an evidentary hearing May 17th for hiding information about assets...
how much more information do I need to get, besides an account number, for a Judge to allow for a supeona for this CMSC account in his or his sister's name?
Also..he has had a mistress for 8 years, ran up thousands in credit card debt and drained our credit line on our house!

Re: non disclosure of assets
Any notary public can issue a subpoena, and you can have it served. I suggest that you have three subpoenas served: one to CMSC, one to husband, one to sister. Husband and sister may not respond -- but a bank with significant Massachusetts contacts will.
You should obtain an attorney's assistance. I would be happy to be of assistance. Please note that I use a sliding-scale system to determine fees.
: non disclosure of assets
I agree.
There is a form for a subpoena, and you must follow the process of issuing one. The court does not and is not required to do this for you. In fact, this is your responsibility. You can also issue to your spouse or ex-spouse or even his mistress. You can also depose these people.
