What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
Audio evidence is really hard to get admitted. Anyone ever use "in Limine to allow" in bench trial civil proceedings?
Story Short Version:
Ex has extreme anger problems and during the divorce the kids were too young to be able to speak of what was going on. Over the years I have collected recordings of the kids repeating neg things their mom has said. Then one day the kids started talking about physical abuse. That as well as all my convos with them and their mother started getting recorded (note: single consent state and I am always a party of the convos). I do have the GAL report on my side but since I motioned the hearing, wanted to present some, or as much of, the relevant recordings as possible.
This will take alot of the hearsay out of the case and show the courts that what I had noted on recorder 6 years ago did happen and is still happening. Mom is a high conflict parent and its starting to get more known as time goes on.
So there is the story in a nutshell. Thought about having the most relevant records transcribed in depo form and notarized by an independent company.
Any thoughts?
