Hi,
My wife has been served a subpoena to give evidence at a court over a five day period. She currently breastfeeds our baby several times a day and also looks after our 2 year old toddler. The baby refuses to take a bottle, outright refuses, so essentially she has to be with him 24/7.
On top of this, there is no one she can leave the baby and toddler with either so the whole situation is untenable. She has called the Law firm repeatedly and sent emails explaining her situation and they have been very dismissive. They said its up to the barrister and they are still expecting her to show up.
We called Legal Aid, but they said they could not provide advice on civil matters.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, PK
