It does not matter what your wife thinks. If the house was purchased during marriage, it's community property. You have an equal interest in the property even if the house is only in her name.

The DA will summon or serve you with a subpoena when and if there is a trial. They will also send an investigator before that to question you about what happened if it goes to trial. So the DA will do what they have to do when the time arrives.
