Hi all, I have a few questions about the process for a subpoena in Family Law, specifically in relation to parenting matters...
Thanks in advance!
- If a party submits an affidavit, and the other party believes that the sworn statements are erroneous/misleading, and a correct account can be provided by a third party, is this a valid argument for issue of a subpoena?
- Is a self represented litigant required to ask permission from the Court for leave to issue subpoena?
- Does a self represented litigant need to show they have made a reasonable attempt to obtain the information, before issue of subpoena?
- Are there any grounds in which a party could reasonably argue that attempting to obtain information is aggressive/intimidating/bullying, even if the information is of relevance in the proceedings, in order to validate or disprove sworn statements already made by that party?
Thanks in advance!
