If I lied when calling cops about dv about some of the other questions they asked (has he ever done this or that) and said yes and now i got a subpoena to be at court can I plead the 5th? I mean I read they can charge you if you lied.

Now you are mixing sausage and vanilla ice cream. Attorneys don't "aid and abet" that is language for Criminals. The answer is the same, check the rules of court and the Code of Civil Procedure.
