Re: Subpoenas

There is no requirement under the law for you to have an attorney to subpoena records, but practically you may need one. The process is to subpoena the records custodian to a depoosition, but allow them to respond by sending the records and not have to appear for the deposition. You may also want to apply for support enforcement through DCS. They may be better able to assist you in this matter than a prosecuting attorney's office.
