Default Subpoena was left with family member, help

My brother called me and let me know that he was handed a subpoena for me to testify as a witness in a domestic abuse case (i'm the victim)

I don't want to testify. I live in Illinois I think the law states that I have to be handed the subpoena myself in order for me to be legally held to attend.

Can I ignore this subpoena or can they give it to my brother?

Check with your court clerk but normally it has to be given to you.

In a few jurisdictions an immediate family member living with you will suffice.
