More details to this question:
I had an argument and altercation with my husband during which my son called the police. They came and arrested my husband and charged him with domestic violence. They also collected statements from me and my sons. Now they want me and my son to appear in court tomorrow to testify against my husband. I don't want to go. They did not give the Subpoena directly to me.

Retain a good criminal lawyer and he will talk to the prosecutor for you. If you did not wish to press charges you should not have signed the supporting deposition.
