S9 Ep63: Can My Ex Spy On My Texts and Use It In Court?

from Divorce Fast & Easy In Michigan · host Akiva Goldman

#ChooseGoldman This episode discusses the legal complexities of digital privacy and whether an ex-spouse can admit intercepted texts or emails as evidence in court. Attorney Akiva Goldman explains how Michigan law evaluates the legality of accessed messages based on the reasonable expectation of privacy. • Generally, there is no legal right to spy on an ex, and evidence obtained through stolen passwords or hacking is often excluded. • Shared accounts and joint passwords significantly diminish your expectation of privacy in the eyes of the court. • If an account is considered joint, a judge is more likely to allow the messages to be used as evidence. • You should operate under the assumption that a judge may eventually see any electronic communications sent during a legal dispute. • To protect your position, it is vital to secure your personal accounts and be mindful of what you communicate in writing. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
