What is the name of your state? DE

In documenting things that happen with other parent, how does the judge look on things we hear through other sources?

Ex: 5 parties involved
1. child
2. biodad (in another state)
3. biodad's mom
4. child's great-grandmother (actually taking care of child)
5. biomom (who only talks to great-grandmother)

#4 (maternal great-grandmother) talks to #3 (paternal grandmother) about how #1 (child) is doing and how #5 (mom) is irresponsible. #3 (paternal grandmother) calls #2 (dad) to tell what is going on. Dad writes this all down. Later, dad finds out is true with own eyes/ears.

Ex: Dad hears mother does not take child to doctor when ill and the maternal great-grandmother always takes child to doctor. Eventually gets medical records and sees maternal great-grandmother always signed release.

Dad plans on bringing his mom to court to back up what is written, but how is this normally taken (say if his mother couldn't go to court)? Is it a waste of paper to write down the only bit of information he gets concerning his child seeing as how he's not there in the state?

You're going to hurt my feelings...

Does anyone have any thoughts about this? Is this like written hearsay and completely unusable? Anyone have any experience with this? (Still learning how to document properly and objectively.)

Thanks in advance!
