Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

The law firm that I work for in FL needs to take the deposition of a non-party in NJ relating to our FL dissolution matter. We know that the deposition has to be taken in NJ, but can my attorney issue the subpoena in the FL case and have it served in NJ and be valid or does he have to have a subpoena issued by a NJ court?

There is a procedure here in NJ for out of state depositions. You would be smart to get a local attorney to do this for you. Let me know if you want me to do it; I have been practicing law 26 years and I do a lot of divorce as well as civil litigation.

The answers you received are correct in that you have to follow NJ procedure - an out of state subpoena from Florida would be ineffective to secure attendance at the deposition.

We have a number of lawyers here who could assist you. Please call for an appointment if you are interested.
