How can I get a subpoena for my ex-wife’s employer to produce her W2’s?
My ex-wife is in prison and our state taxes were never filed for the 3 years we were married. I am trying to get the issue resolved but I cannot do so without her W2’s for those years. Her previous employer will not release them with out either a court order or her written permission. Her permission is not really an option.

If you have an attorney represent you, the attorney can issue a subpoena for the W2s. The other alternative for obtaining a subpoena would be to have a judge issue it. Since you don't have an ongoing case yet in court, having an attorney issue the subpoena would be your best option.
