Here's my question. Is it legal or not for one person to record a conversation with another person over the telephone or in their home without advising that person that the conversation is being recorded and/or getting that person's permission?
My sister is getting divorced and her soon to be ex-husband (hopefully) told me tonight that he had recorded conversations he has has with me, my husband, and my sister (his wife) while on the telephone and in my home.
He has filed for custody of their children (2) and he says these recordings will be used in court against my sister.
Though I am not worried about anything that I or my husband may have said to him, because our interest in this matter between them has been to protect the children from their fighting, screaming & hollering, name calling, etc. And I have not had any conversations with him that I believe would jeopardize her getting custody of their children (they currently live with her now and have since the seperation).
Can he do this? If not, is this a criminal or civil matter? If criminal, to whom to I report this to - state or federal?
Please advise if you can. Thanks.
