If I have missed anything please feel free to point it out. Thanks.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
I am a pro se civil litigant in Iowa due to being bankrupted by the defendant. I need to depose a witness in Florida. He is a nice guy but really doesn't want to get involved. Could someone please offer help with the following questions?:
- What must do in order to make the subpoena binding in Florida? Do I have to file something in the district court for the county in which the witness is domiciled? If so, what must I file (form number) and do I have to pay anything?
- I expect the witness to bring his attorney, he is fearful of the defendant in my case and will not wish to cooperate. I expect objections to most questions. If there is an objection can i force the witness to answer, and then the judge would later rule on the objections? If it is not this simple please advise what else I need to do.
- How much notice should I give the witness between the date of service and the intended day for the depo?
- How much notice is reasonable for the defendant in Iowa so he can't claim that notice was too short?
If I have missed anything please feel free to point it out. Thanks.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
