This probably depends on the state. In most states there will be a fee to file the paperwork with the court and have a judge sign off on the subpoena order. Then you would have to have the order served. In most cases this must be served by the sheriffs office and the sheriff's office will charge a fee for this. In other cases this can be served by an uninterested third party that will sign "under penalty of perjury" that they have delivered the subpoena. In addition to this, you may have to reimburse the person you have subpoenaed to court for mileage traveled, parking expenses and often an hourly charge at rates determined by the county. If you win your case, you may be able to force the losing party to pay for all of these expenses.

How is the compulsory process accomplished?
Compulsory process in the courts is essentially the court's subpoena power. This power enables a court to compel people who have information relevant to a civil or criminal action to appear in court and either give testimony or provide demonstrative evidence in aid of the parties involved in the action. It is accomplished by the issuance of a subpoena by a court or by an attorney in the name of the court. The subpoena is served on the person whose appearance is desired and a small fee is paid to him/her. At that point the person is compelled to answer the command of the court to appear at the place stated in the subpoena on the date and at the time indicated. In addition to the subpoena power, courts sometimes issue orders to show cause or other types of orders to people involved in litigation to compel their attendance or participation in court related matters.

How do you subpoena someone for a custody case without an attorney?
Go to your county's courthouse and go to the Clerk's Office. You can get a subpoena (for usually a fee) for either a civil or criminal case. Fill it out, keep a copy, take to sheriff's dept so they can serve it on the person. You will need their verified address. There is usually a fee to serve it as well but at least it shows record that you did it and the person is more likely to show up for court. If they are served and don't show up, they can be penalized by the court.
