Generally speaking, your finaances are not part of their divorce. However, if the attorney is trying to prove some thing that they believe is pertinent to the case - like that he is hiding money by giving it to you or that his lifestyle is greatly increased becuase of your income - then he may be on a fishing expedition to prove it. I would seek legal help and have your attorney deal with it by quashing the subpeona. Good luck.
