In California, do I have to appear in a Family Court when I have been served a subpeona to do so?

I have been partial to my brother-in-law’s side of my sisters divorce. He has mentioned me in his declaration and my sister says that I may be subpoenaed to dicredit his convictions. Am I legally bound by California law to appear in Family Court after being served? I was told that I could only be forced to appear in criminal law cases. And if not, what are the consequenses of not showing up? And does anyone have any websites that back up the laws?

How long does it take for a divorce to be final in Pennsylvania?

My brother is married to a woman in Pennsylvania and he is stationed in Kentucky. He just got the papers in the mail a few days ago stating that the divorce was taking affect. He didn’t have to sign anything or send them back. Can anyone tell me how long it will be until the divorce is final or what he could do to speed it up?

How to find a lawyer for my b/f regarding family court?

My b/f has been to court many times reagrding his 5 year old son. At first, he was going to court because the mother would not let him see his son, and now he is going back because of unpaid child support (about 0, btw). But there have been many visits in between and he has always showed up alone while she always has a lawyer. In the future, I think it might be a good idea for him to show up with representation. However, we can not afford a lawyer. The child’s mother has yet again denied him his visitation for reasons that I understand she is not able to deny visitation to him for. When he goes to family court again, how can we find him representation? What do we look up in the phone book? We just need to be pointed in the right direction, because we have no idea where to find a free lawyer if its even possible. Please help.
We are located in NY state
