The father can let the court know that the son is out of the country. Period. He cannot speak for the son.Thanks, Ladyback. For the court to know if the OP is telling the truth, the OP needs only to end her letter/letter-motion with the following certification: "I declare, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. � 1746, under penalty of perjury, that the foregoing is true and correct." and her signature --as she would in any declaration (or affidavit).
He cannot quash the subpoena for the son. He cannot prevent the court from finding the son in contempt for not responding to the subpoena.
It would be a bit silly to allow a party in a case to speak for the witnesses in the case or able to file a motion to quash someone else's subpoena. A declaration cannot make this any more sensible.
As to reporting posts: This is done for several reasons. It allows the moderator to review a post that a member finds questionable. The moderator will decide if the post is problematic and, if there is no problem, the post is returned in its entirety to the thread. If there is a problem, the post will not return to its place in the thread, or the post will return with the problematic portions edited out.
To my knowledge, this is how this forum has always operated. I don't see it changing any time soon.
