S8 Ep55: Can I Use a Recording of My Child Complaining About My Ex in Court?

from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan · host Akiva Goldman

#ChooseGoldman In this episode, we explore a common question from parents in custody disputes: "Can I use a recording of my child complaining about my ex?" We break down why this is a high-risk strategy, how courts perceive it, and what you should focus on instead to build a stronger case. • Courts often view recordings of children as manipulative and harmful, not as credible evidence. • This tactic can seriously backfire, damaging your credibility and hurting your overall custody case. • Depending on the circumstances, making such a recording could violate state or federal laws. • A far more effective strategy is to focus on proving how you serve the "best interest of the child." • Putting a child in the middle of a conflict is emotionally damaging and viewed very unfavorably by judges.
