Father has not been able to see his daughter in over a year and has barely been allowed to speak to her. He calls his daughter at least once a week and pays child support he's a good loving dad

What's the best method of presenting those recordings during the child custody hearing? Is there a better method to present text messages than just printing screenshots? is there anything else we can do to prepare evidence for child custody court?

There are apps like family wizard and talking parents I'm wondering if you know whether there's a way within those apps to convert text messages to something that's more readable for the court. If you are going through child custody without a lawyer be sure and download

I don't know the answer to that but I am sure that there is an app that helps with those text messages.

The best method for presenting voice recordings in court you have to remember that depending on where you are those recordings may be considered hearsay and regardless of whether they're hearsay or not you have to lay the foundation.

You have to be able to identify when those recordings were made who was present on the line who took the recordings and you have to lay the foundation so the judge at the custody trial understands all of the right evidence. It's great to have a chronological journal.

I will tell you that in Arizona the courts allow hearsay in child custody dispute so it's very easy to get in voice recordings into evidence. But it is important to document everything. It is part of preparing for your child custody hearing.

In one such case probably 15 years ago we had a voice recording of a mother who was going through a curse laced rant and after hearing that family court was just disgusted, the judge in the case awarded my client (the father) sole decision making of the child and it stayed that way till the child graduated from high school. So YES that information is powerful and I'm glad that you are collecting it. For judges in custody cases, it should always boil down to what is in the best interest of the children?
