What is the name of your state? Maryland
I am being subpoened for court next week for a family custody case. The reason I am being subpoened is because I once watched the child in question. There are abuse allegations against one party and they want me there to say the child never had any problems that I noticed. The child has been seen by a doctor and has a therapist both of which can testify to this and will be there. There is little information I can add.
I do not want to attend this trial. I am literally just out of the hospital from having a c-section. I also am exclusively breastfeeding my child and I do not see how I will be able to do this in a court room since there are certain ways she and I need to be sitting/laying for her to latch on correctly at this point. I also need to have my nursing pillow because of the soreness from the surgery. The case is scheduled for 2 days and I can't see it being good for me or the baby at this point.
I would like to know what steps I need to take because I'm adamant not to be there. Would a doctor's note from one or both of our doctors be enough or is there more I need to do.
Thank you.
