Question

im goin back to court with my ex wife since she doesnt know how to follow our joint custody court order... she hasnt allowed me to see my kids in over a month... She left messages on my cell phone stating that if i dont allow to keep the kids on my parenting time to take them camping she is going to tell our kids everyday to hate me... she has residental custody of them and i'm suppose to have my kids three weekends a month... and that hasnt happened?? so the messages that she been leaving on my cell can they be use in a NJ court

Answer 1

Yes that can be used in court. I would keep every single threatening message and take it to court with me.

Answer 2

most defiantely dude take your cell phone with you and save the messages if you do that present it to the judge and if he listens he might give you full custody because she is blackmailing you i would just do that dont worry you will get full custody if she keeps sending crazy messages  

Answer 3

Oh heck yeah.  The messages go directly in the face of any parenting plan!  She will be shown as manipulative and vindictive.  It will help make your case.  

Answer 4

I am unfamiliar with the specific Rules of Evidence in the state of New Jersey, but generally speaking, if a party knows they are being taped, the recording can be admissible in a court of law. They consented to having their voice recorded, by virtue of recording their message after the "beep."

Answer 5

YES

Answer 6

Heck yeah you can.  Parents aren't allowed to bad-mouth the other one.  When my parents were divorced this was a problem and the court ordered them that they were not allowed to do that in front of me and my sister.

Answer 7

Do it. It should really help you, i would have thought.

Its worth a try isn't it? Would she do the same to you if it was the other way around?

Wish you the best of luck x

Answer 8

Yes it can be used against her for sure. Keep a copy of every message she sends you.

  

Answer 9

Most certainly.  Keep track of everything.

Answer 10

the answer to you question is yes. save those messages! you need the evidence.  Keep track of when you see your kids, aka make sure your friends and neighbors see you with them so its not a case of "he said she said"  

protect you phone at all costs.

finally, see a lawyer, thats my best advice, and take her *** back to court!
