What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? new york
Now I went to court, and the judge postponed the case because my boyfriends mother, my daughters Biological fathers mother, made a fool of herself on the stands and basically said she had no reason why she couldn't come over to our house. So basically we got our way, but there was still a visitation schedule that the court order and we don't have a problem fallowing. My fear is that when we go back into court in January, that she will lie under oath like she did at our trial, but at the time we had no way to prove it except the phone records we had, and we never got our chance to prove she was lying because the judge pulled the lawyers into his office even before my boyfriends mom could get of the stands because she contradicted her own petition on the stands. But what I fear is that when we go back to court she will tell lies on how we were mean to her and rude to her or wouldn't let her see our daughter on her appointed days at her appointed times. I'm worried that she will tell them that all we did was bicker with her and demean her at every chance we get.
So here's my question, what, if anything can I do to prevent her from being able to say these things? I was talking to my boyfriend and he said that we could try video taping her sessions with our daughter, though when I asked someone I know who is studying law she wasn't so sure that we could do that without written consent, or we could try tape recording her sessions with us, because that wouldn't necessarily need any kind of consent.
I know it sounds mean, and it doesn't sound right, but I'm protecting myself in case she tries any of this. If people want I can explain the whole thing, but if you could just provide me with the answers i need to ensure the truth gets told that would be great, and i am sorry if this hits a nerve with anyone, i don't mean to.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
