Yes.

Are you currently in possession of a recent certified copy of your criminal history for the state of Ga?

You should be. In the absence of better advice, tailor your answers to that.

I saw you asked a question on what factors the judge uses when deciding custody. In PA, the laws changed just a year ago. I've seen others say the same thing about their states recently so I'm inclined to believe every state will adopt this soon. To answer your question, here are the factors that a judge needs to consider when deciding custody. This is in PA but I'm guessing most of the other states are similar:

(1) Which party is more likely to encourage and permit frequent and continuing contact between the child and another party.
(2) The present and past abuse committed by a party or member of the party’s household, whether there is a continued risk of harm to the child or an abused party and which party can better provide adequate physical safeguards and supervision of the child.
(3) The parental duties performed by each party on behalf of the child.
(4) The need for stability and continuity in the child’s education, family life and community life.
(5) The availability of extended family.
(6) The child’s sibling relationships.
(7) The well-reasoned preference of the child, based on the child’s maturity and judgment.
(8) The attempts of a parent to turn the child against the other parent, except in cases of domestic violence where reasonable safety measures are necessary to protect the child from harm.
(9) Which party is more likely to maintain a loving, stable, consistent and nurturing relationship with the child adequate for the child’s emotional needs.
(10) Which party is more likely to attend to the daily physical, emotional, developmental, educational and special needs of the child.
(11) The proximity of the residences of the parties.
(12) Each party’s availability to care for the child or ability to make appropriate child-care arrangements.
(13) The level of conflict between the parties and the willingness and ability of the parties to cooperate with one another. A party’s effort to protect a child from abuse by another party is not evidence of unwillingness or inability to cooperate with that party.
(14) The history of drug or alcohol abuse of a party or member of a party’s household.
(15) The mental and physical condition of a party or member of a party’s household.
(16) Any other relevant factor.

I've never done a subpoena. I think that in some areas it doesn't need to be signed by the judge but I don't know. If I were you, considering there isn't much time in the day left, I'd call your local court clerk and explain the situation to see if you need a judge's signature.

If it's just for the person's work, just make it look as legitimate as possible and if you screwed it up, you can just say, "Oh, sorry.....I am pro se and I have no idea what I'm doing."

Nothing like waiting until the last minute......

Court clerk and Google are your best friends right now.

You've already been told, none of your witnesses matter to your case in chief - and your old Army buddy is not going to have more say than your wife in your behavior at home.

At this point you should be worried about getting your shirt pressed and shoes shined, not some Perry Mason tactic of testimony.

However, showing up in a wheelchair might not be a bad idea.

No . Wait.

That was Ironsides. In fairness, Raymond Burr was on both shows.
