Utah Divorce Subpoena: Simple Bank Records

You end up subpoenaing bank records pretty often in Utah divorce and child custody cases.

For example, I had a case in which a deadbeat dad said he couldn’t pay child support and daycare for about a year. We filed a motion for contempt and subpoenaed his bank records. Low and behold, his bank records showed (among other things) he ate out almost every day and would regularly buy stuff from 7-Eleven two, three, five times per day. (Who goes to 7-Eleven five times in one day?)

Needless to say, those bank records were invaluable, and I used them beat up that poor schmuck on the stand.

Most often, we subpoena bank records to find out someone actual (not stated) income, and look for hidden assets.
