If have been subpoenaed to testify against my spouse do I have to?

Is there a reason why they would call someone that does not know anything?
1) You have to show up
2) You do not have to speak against your spouse
must show---must you can plead fifth--give no testmony..
can't force you too.
cork is correct. You should get a lawyer who should fight to have the subpoena thrown out since the courts have declared communication between husband and wife is privileged.
A person is NOT required to testify against their spouse!
No, you are not required to. There is a spousal privilege which is understood in law; communications meant to be confidential between spouses and not witnessed by a third party remain confidential and one cannot be forced to testify against one's spouse (this does not apply to divorce or child custody cases).
You cannot be forced to testify against your spouse.

As to why they would call someone that doesn't know anything.... they might not KNOW you don't know anything or they might believe you do because of what someone else told them.


Answer:
If you found out about the crime or anything was confessed or revealed to you BEFORE you were married then you do have to testify. You can only 'plead the fifth' so to speak if you risk incriminating yourself.

If you discovered the crime or any info related to it AFTER you were married then you have 'spousal privilege' or 'marital privilege' and do NOT have to testify.
No, they can not make a spouse testify against their own spouse. It is not pleading the 5th but its a whole other law. I forgot what law it was but I am know they cant do that because I just learned that in my Government class and I happen to have an A on the class.
If you have been served a 'Subpoenaed' you must show up in court or the judge may put out a bench warrant for your arrest. Good luck! ;)
there are laws that protect you from having to testify against your spouse. even if they try just plead the fifth.
They might want other information on your spouse from you.

I don't know about this, I have always heard that a wife never has to testify against her husband--and visa-versa. I would talk to a legal professional.
Sorry but you have to go. A subpoena is a court order and you could be arrested if you don't.
It's according to what state you live in.

If you are in California, nobody can force you to testify against your spouse.
