Is the plaintiff representing him or her self? Was the Subpoena filed with the court? How was is served? So many unstated facts needed to judge whether it was valid. Have it reviewed by your attorney. If you do not have one, it will serve you well to get one in your county.

I am trying to figure out how she managed to be enrolled in your school district. CPS could send her back to GA. Depending on how soon she turns 18 they may figure it is not worth the bother.

There isn't really a charge for abandonment. If he has not paid child support yet, it is likely that CSEA has not yet started garnishing his wages. I recommend contacting CSEA for a status update on garnishment.

Based on your description, it sounds like you will have to take the case to trial. Hopefully you've retained counsel who will able to assist you in collecting documents that will help you tell your story and line up the witnesses who created these documents so they may be properly admitted.
My child’s father summoned me to court, stating that I’ve denied him parenting time. That’s not true and I can prove it. I’m afraid to go against him in court because he’s been abusive to me and has threatened to kill me just in April.

Assuming you are successfull, and a case is dismissed, that Judge may not order a drug test. HOWEVER, a judge with competent jurisdiction CAN order a drug test when a new case is filed somewhere else. It sounds like you really should hire an attorney.

If he filed a pleading and you've responded, the court will set it for a hearing. At that preliminary hearing, and if he shows up, you should make it known to the judge on the record that you believe the address he used to file is not correct, and order him to produce his correct address right...
