More details to this question:
it is Wednesday and the divorce case is on Monday. They have tried serving a subpoena twice today and we haven't answered the door. My wife has given the subpoenaing party an affidavit but they still are subpoenaing her. What are her options?

Well, the facts relayed are a bit sketchy. No lawyer would advise a person to evade service, but a trial subpoena is normally not effective until and unless served; the party seeking to call a witness can offer alternative evidence (depositions, perhaps affidavits) for witnesses whose presence was attempted to be secured but who are "unavailable." If unsure, the best advice would be to actually consult with a family law specialist, explaining all the facts and circumstances, since items not mentioned could be very important to the question you seek to ask.
