Do I have to go to deposition for an alimony modification that my boyfriend filed w his ex?

 Under FLorida law a subpoena is a legal document that requires you to appear or you could potentially face charges of being in contempt of court.  However, that said, if you feel that you should not be required to appear you can file a Motion for Protective Order in advance of the date you are supposed to appear for the deposition.  You would hae to state why you believe you should not be legally required to appear and then ask the Court for a hearing on the Protective Order.   The Court can then either grant your motion and you would not have to appear, or deny the motion and require you to appear.  As an aside, I suspect your are being subpoenaed to see if you know of any money your boyfriend is making and to see if you are supporting him in any way in the interim because that support could be imputed as income to him for the purposes of alimony.   Best of luck, Cindy S.
