Q: How do I subpoena a DCFS Social Worker through the Barstow Sheriff Department to appear in an Evidentiary Hearing?
I live in Sparks NV. The Evidentiary Hearing is in Barstow. Hearing is a 4th continuance. The CPS report was only allowed into evidence in 3rd continuance.
A:
To subpoena a DCFS social worker to appear in an evidentiary hearing, you will need to follow the proper legal procedures for issuing a subpoena.
First, you will need to file a motion with the court requesting that the social worker be subpoenaed to appear. This motion should include the name and contact information for the social worker, as well as a brief explanation of why their testimony is relevant to the case.
Once the motion has been granted, you can then issue a subpoena through the Barstow Sheriff's Department. You will need to provide the department with a copy of the motion and any other relevant court orders, as well as the date, time, and location of the hearing.
It's important to note that the rules and procedures for issuing subpoenas can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the case. You may want to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law or civil litigation to ensure that you are following the proper procedures and protecting your legal rights.
In addition, if you are unable to attend the hearing in person due to your location in Sparks, NV, you may need to consider alternative options for participating in the hearing, such as appearing via video conference or telephone. Your attorney can help you understand your options and ensure that your rights are protected.
