"Listen Doc, I know that you went to school for this, took exams, and have been practicing this for years. So you think about how you think this surgery should go, I'll do some thinking too, and we'll compare ideas."

I'd like to know where OP is going to obtain a subpoena without having filed a lawsuit and what the lawsuit is all about.
Much of what he wants is the sort of thing which won't be turned over without at least a subpoena and often a court order.
This is why he needs to consult a lawyer even if it's only to focus his thinking.

With a lawyer, lawyers miss deadlines. That can sink a case. If an associate is working on the case, the two lawyers do discuss strategy. If there was only one way, there would be no discussion. Likewise, the client should be aware of different strategies. In the case of divorce, the client can have insight to the other spouse and make better decisions than a lawyer in a vacuum.

I don't know who you are. I have no idea what you're asking. But I have a very particular set of skills and random recommendations I got from some online bulletin board, and if you you flew on the dates you say you did, I will track you down, and I will sue you.

You seem to have stipulated, or would be willing to stipulate, that this person was on the East Coast shortly after the heart attack. That being the case, it is only necessary for them* to show (if they can) that they did not travel before then. If that is true, it would be trivial for them to prove it by producing a credit/debit card charge made in California just before then, or other evidence of their presence such as a car repair statement or a parking ticket. (If they don't save CC receipts, no problem. Banks have charge records going back forever, though the cardholder Web interface may not be able to access them easily.) The whole travel evidence business is a red herring.

Ok, it's confession time!!!
The elderly couple both had a trust. The wife died. Her trust is to take care of the husband until he dies. One provision is that a relative can get some money if they move and help with elderly care and a housing stipend if they are not living in the same city and have to move. The husband had a heart attack when shoveling snow and lost some blood flow to the brain so now is needs help with living. He's not a vegetable but is really slow now and often doesn't make sense talking.
The relative is now claiming that they moved to the city right after the heart attack to help with care. The truth of the matter is that they moved to the city several years ago and do not qualify for the housing stipend.
The back story is that some do not want the improper housing stipend to be let go because that relative is very dishonest. They took advantage of the crippled husband and got him to change his will so that they get all of the money that is not in the trust. In reality, that was not the crippled husband's intention. If the housing stipend can be recovered, that might represent $100,000 to the relatives who are named as residual beneficiaries of the trust.
One way to disallow the housing stipend is to show that the relative did not actually move after the heart attack but was here before then. One way is to say "prove that you moved on such and such day" or at least prove that you flew to this city during the week or day you claim. Another way is to show that they flew a year earlier, particularly if it was a one way trip and they cannot show a return trip.
