Our inspection company got a certified letter from a law office in the mail the other day. I opened the letter and found a supoena of all things. I noticed the procescuting party had the same last name as the defending party. I noticed the attorney was a family law attorney. Really?! My lead inspector has been ordered to testify in a DIVORCE case?! We're going to lose a day's worth of work, $800 to $1000 while we wait for this case to be called. I called our attorney to see what recourse we had, none. I asked him why a divorce case would want a home inspector involved. He said more than likely the husband wanted our testimony that the wife wasn't keeping up the maintenance on the house. I would never have thought that doing a home inspection for someone involved in a divorce would have my inspector and records ending up in court. My inspector call the client and the attorney involved and informed them he would not be helpful in any way. After a few days, we got the call at the office that my inspector was released from the case. The universe is funny, though, the same day in the mail was a summons for me for jury duty.
