The cannot prosecute you for not testifying. You have to show up if you are subpoenaed, but they can't force you to testify. There is literally a statute that prevents them. You can always tell them that this was a misunderstanding and you do not want to testify.
That I am not entitled to half but something like 25% of the assets. Everything we own is communal property (house, cars, boat and camper), we have two minor children and we live in OK.

You should get an attorney and get ahead of this, so he does not move money or attempt to play games. His claim is not accurate and that makes me concerned for his intentions around your marital assets.
