Millions of unaccompanied children between the ages of 5 and 12 (called "unaccompanied minors" by the airlines) travel on the major airlines every year. Airlines usually accept these children as passengers but impose restrictions and sometimes extra fees. Before you put your child on an airplane unaccompanied by an adult, learn what the airlines require, what your obligations are as a parent or legal guardian and what you can do to minimize problems during your child's trip.
This article covers problems that may arise when you are not a party to the lawsuit but are subpoenaed to appear for a deposition or to produce documents in your possession. Your lawyer can file an objection that notifies the party or lawyer serving the subpoena on you that you have a problem with what the subpoena is commanding you to do. The party must then get a court order before you will be required to comply with the subpoena. In certain situations you can also resist a subpoena by filing a motion to quash. A motion to quash asks the court in charge of the lawsuit to rule that, for some particular reason, the subpoena need not be complied with as it is currently written. A motion to quash is sometimes mistakenly referred to as a motion to squash. This name is a mistake in words but not in spirit, as "squashing" the subpoena is exactly what you'd be asking the court to do.
