S10 Ep01: Can a Parent Secretly Record a Child to Use in Court?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains that secretly recording your child can severely backfire in a custody case, as Michigan courts often view such actions as exploitative rather than helpful. While some parents believe these recordings provide essential evidence, they frequently damage the parent's credibility and the overall best interests of the child. • Secretly recording a child often hurts a legal case more than it helps by making the parent appear manipulative. • Michigan courts prioritize the "best interests of the child" and may view surreptitious recording as an exploitative activity. • Even if a recording is technically legal under state law, it often faces significant resistance from judges regarding its admissibility. • Engaging in secret recordings can cause a parent to lose points and credibility during custody evaluations. • Judges may view the act of recording as harmful to the child's emotional well-being and the parent-child relationship. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/x5L1MiQLusc For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
