How doI protect my private information after being subpoenaed?
My husband and I own a condo which is owned by an HOA. We were going into foreclosure also putting us very behind in the HOA payments. During this time, me and my husband seperated. I moved out. At the last minute (against my wishes) he saved the condo. He fell behind in the HOA payments and hasn’t paid in 7 months. I just received a subpoena requesting all of my employment, banking, and verification of my current address information, by the HOA. We have decided to short sale and my husband is willing to make payments. How can I protect my private information? Do I hire a lawyer? In Ontario, CA.

It might be good for you to consult with an aattorney in your area who can take a look at the whole picture and give you an idea of what to do. Generally speaking parties are not required to disclose the information that has been requested of you unless and until a judgement has been rendered against you. I am a bit unclear as to where in what proceeding you and your husband are. And the attorney can help with the HOA negotiations as well. It may also be a good idea to consult with a financial person on what can be done with regard to the condo (maybe modification of the loan?). Good luck.
