Service of a Florida Subpoena in NJ

  • 1.  Service of a Florida Subpoena in NJ

    Posted 05-07-2014 10:24 AM
    I have a case in Florida where I need to serve a deposition subpoena on the Wife's NJ employer.  The Wife works out of her home and lives in Florida.  Is a NJ motion necessary to register a Florida Order directing a NJ process server to serve the deposition subpoena and conduct the dep in NJ, or  can the Florida Subpoena stand on its' own in NJ without a Florida or NJ Order under the principles of comity and/ or long jurisdiction, and require the NJ employer to appear at the dep in NJ?    The employer has no business ties in Florida, other than the Wife working from her home. 

    Thank you.
