I practice mainly in Maricopa County. However, I would suggest visitng the law library of the Superior Court of your county and ask for a Subpoena form. In Maricopa County there is also a $26.00 Subpoena issuing fee. If you have more questions or need help with preparation feel free to contact me.
You could seek to set aside the judgment based upon your prior condition. However, it may not be that simple so I would suggest that you meet with a domestic relations attorney to speak at more length about the specifics.

However, if you are not happy with the decision you can of course file a motion to reconsider pursuant to Rule 45, Arizona Rules of Famiy Law Procedure.

I would suggest that you contact an experienced family law attorney to discuss the details further and/or assist you in drafting the reconsideration motion,
