HOWEVER, it's possible to "spoof" the "from" number on a txt message - I'm just sayin' ;)

Which is why I'm saying that it strengthens the evidence if you have both party's cell phone records showing that a text message was actually sent at that time.

I'm curious as to the content of these messages.

Even if the other parent is hailing OP as the Best Parent That Ever Lived, the other parent is free to change their opinion at any time.

Not quite sure what OP thinks is going to happen.

Well, the last couple times she has dragged us to mediation, the crux of her arguments were my parenting skills. Most incidents she detailed were fictitious; I couldn't even imagine a situation she might have misconstrued to arrive at the narratives she comes up with.

As she tends to be a bit file-happy, I'd like the mediator to see the bi-polar behavior, hopefully to give light to the credibility of her opinions ( this week I'm the greatest father ever, but last week I was damaging our child, ect.. ).

To be fair, I wasn't entirely sure I could use these. But I am quite ignorant as to what is and is not relevant, so I thought I'd float it out here and see what kicks up.

ADDED: If it makes sense, I just want to stabilize the relationship between mom and I ( such as is ). Her life is chaotic, and she doesn't mind dragging me back to mediation if she feels something significant has changed. If she is apprehensive to drag us back to mediation because of what I can bring to the table, to the point of not doing it at all, that would be my eventual end goal.
