Mission Viejo, CA asked in Banking and Consumer Law

Q: My ex asked his attorney friend to subpoena my bank records and Chase provided it even with an objection letter.

My ex-husband asked his friend who is an attorney, to subpoena my bank records with no grounds. Chase sent me a letter to inform me they will provide my bank statements to this attorney. I fax a letter to Chase and the attorney objecting but I believe it was too late because my ex got a hold of my bank statements.

I contacted JP Morgan subpoena center to get additional information but they keep telling me “they are not allowed to offer me information about how many months of statements they released to him.” Can Chase deny providing me such information? Due to Chase releasing such information to my ex he had decided to cut off spousal support on his terms because according to him I do not need all of that support. Do I have a case against Chase? I know I am taking my ex to court but can anyone in California have an attorney subpoena bank records without an open court case or court order?

A: You are directing you anger at the wrong party; you need to concentrate on responding to THE COURT so you can defend yourself against this attack from your ex husband. Go back to your divorce lawyer for help or hire a litigation lawyer to help you.
