Subpoenas, family law divorce under SC divorce law, subpoena duces tecum

A subpoena was sent out in a Family Law divorce case to a company requesting records. It was never answered. I was told that there is a more expensive Subpoena or type of Subpoena that is more likely to get answered than the common Duces Tecum one that was sent out. Is this true or not....in other words could that same request be sent out via a different type of subpoena that is more powerful and if so what is it and how much more expensive is it?

You could take the deposition of the custodian of company records with a document request attached. But if they ignored one request they'll likely ignore the other. Go back to court and ask for a contempt citation for their failure to answer the sdt.
