Yes, your son can be forced to testify against you. There is no privilege between parents and children as there is between spouses.

Any child mature enough to understand the significance of taking an oath can testify, and this is not even an issue with children as old as your son.

There is no parent child privilege...so they can subpoena him.

You need representation, call our office to discuss further if you wish.
