S8 Ep56: Can I Record Conversations With My Ex for Court Use?
from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan · host Akiva Goldman
#ChooseGoldman In family law cases, the type of evidence you present is crucial. This discussion explores the significant risks of using secret recordings of your ex in court and why this approach can often do more harm than good. • The legality and admissibility of recording your ex for court depend heavily on state laws and specific evidentiary rules. • Secret recordings can significantly backfire; a judge might question your motives and view the act as entrapment, which damages your credibility. • A court may dismiss a recording as a single, out-of-context snippet that fails to represent the full situation accurately. • Judges often prefer more reliable forms of evidence over a "heat of the moment" conversation. • Focusing on collecting and organizing clear documentation is a much safer and more effective strategy for building a strong case.
