Boyfriend trying to reduce alimony on his x wife. She sent him a letter with a subpoena in it for my financial records. Can I not comply ? I feel I was not properly served.

I live in Fl. I live and work for my boyfriend. We have a 3 yr old together. I refuse to marry him because I do not want to some how be legally tied to her. Recently he filed to modify alimony. She lawyered up and they have a court date in two weeks. Mean while her lawyer sent ( addressed to him) a letter to him pursuant to rule 12.285. There was a subpoena in this envelope for me wanting my financial records. But that court date is 2 weeks after their modification of alimony court date.do I have to present her my financial records?

A subpoena is something that you are either obligated to comply with or not. You need to lawyer up and explain the situation. Since you are not married to him, your salary should not play into the situation of his obligations to her. It would be different if the two of you were married. The complication is you have a child together. This will necessarily impact his overall support to other people. So you need to get an attorney to contest the subpoena.
