Get divorced quickly.

He cannot be forced to testify against you. He could go to jail for not showing up.

If he don't show up at the trial then they will have a warrant against his arrest.

alyssa

Both of you need to go to court and take to the judge about it and say it was a mistake. To not show up you would be arrested and could go to jail in comtempt of court.
That would be a very wrong thing to do. Go now and talk to the judge. or the DA

A warrant for his arrest. You were beating on him? Doesn't sound like a strong basis for marriage. I hope you have those issues worked out. But he must come to court or he will have a warrant issued for him.

solomon

If he doesn't answer the subpeona by appearing in court, the judge will issue an arrest order,for contempt of court against him. He then would be arrested for contempt,and failure to appear! The fact that you are now married,legally,he does not and cannot testify against you,because you are married.Let him appear in court for the hearing, and state,he does not wish to testify against his wife! If he is the only wittness against you the case will be dismissed..

I am so confused!
You beat your hubby?
He beat you?
He beat someone else?

If he doesn't go to court then people will come after him to, he will be FINED!

He can be arrested for not showing up when he's been subpeonaed. However, many places will not allow a person to testify against a spouse anyway. The court may not be aware that you are now married if he was listed as a witness at the time of the incident.

He really should go, just to avoid a warrant for his own arrest. When he arrives he should talk to the lawyer about it being a conflict of interest since he's married to you. There's a very good chance he'll be dismissed as an unreliable witness.

He better talk with a lawyer. The subpoena requires him to appear. There may or may not be a priviledge to refuse to answer questions but if he doesn't show, most judges will suspend the trial and send the cops to find him and then hold him in jail until he testifies.

Trust me I come from a law background. The worst thing he could do is not show up. You two need to just figure out a story and be supportive of each other and each others story in the court room ... show the jury you guys love each other and every thing is ok know. ....If your husband doesnt show up it's very likely a warrant will be put put for his arrest. It's best to get this out of the way know. Also if you can, try to get some sort of legal representation for you husband.

There's a good chance that a bench warrant will be issued for his arrest...make sure he appears in court and straighten this situation out...If anything, both you and him will have piece of mind...

They will come after him with a warrant. No one can skip a trial, not even Britney Spears.

If u are from Egypt than i have no idea.
It was happened to one of my friend here in USA. They dropped a case,and gave him 5 years probation cuz his wife didn't testify against him.
Good luck.

bob

anyone with a subpoena must attend court wether they testify or not. failure to not attend can result in contempt of court and could face a fine or sentence judge's discression
his best bet is attend once there he can refuse to testify
as long as he attends and is noted that he is there nothing can happen to him

Starting all over

The worst thing he could do is not show up for court. If this was a one time incident and he is honest, you will be fine. He should recomend counseling instead of time and that usually goes over well and it might work out well for you too. Not showing up could just prolong the situation and both of you ( since you're married) may get into trouble.

Good Luck

Sexy house music

everyone's mom
