recording phone conversations

[BelizeBreeze]

My particular situation is that my ex desperatley wants to find me in contemt of court!!! He would love nothing more...those are his words....I imagine he is taping all phone conversations in case I say something unfavorable which he would turn around an use in court!!!

And that is NOT the situation.
You do not know whether or not your ex is recording the conversations, you haven't stated whether or not you are in the same state, whether or not he has attempted to get these 'recordings' admitted into evidence or what apparatus he is using IF he is, in fact recording all calls.

You see, basically you don't know anything about the specifics of the situation on which to base a legitimate opinion. And those of us who have been here for long enough will not say yes or now without knowing all of the facts.

So, the only thing I can tell you for sure is that under some circumstances yes, Florida is a two-party state but that you are concerned about a situation that would need a thorough review of all facts before any legally valid opinion could be offered.

So, chill until or unless he actually does try to get these supposed tapes into evidence.

Yes we are both in the same state...and no I have no hard evidence.....just the message he left on my voicemail saying he is recording all calls....

Thanks for the info

Super nice group of people!

From a non-legal perspective, I wouldn't talk on the phone to him unless necessary. Maybe you could e-mail instead?

And then you open the entire evidentiary gate of e-mail authenticity and the probability of greater acceptance into the courts for submission.

OK, kiss butt time, but I always read threads in which you have answered because I know I am either going to be entertained or learn a lot. That being said, would you explain what you mean by the above statement. I thought having an e-mail would be worth more than a converstaion on the phone.

Thanks

And that's what I said. But it works both ways. so the ex could use the e-mails as evidence without permission of the writer.

Was pleasantly surprised that my attorney was in his office today...

He said that any phone calls that I did not give permission to record were not admissable as evidence if my ex should try and take me to court.

He did say any messages that are left on voicemail or answering machines were admissable.

Emails too of course are admissable

The situation he feels could get sticky as my ex is not above changing wording in emails....but I save a copy of everything I write...and of course the authenticity.....

Also my ex is very educated in voice overs and that could get sticky with messages....

My attorney doesn't put anything past my ex....I mean he has done some very strange things before...ie calling my ex and telling him i am a secret double agent...calling my husbands commanding officer...calling daycare providers and threatening to sue them if they wont allow him to talk to his daughter right then and there on the phone....attacking my husband at another daycare because he was carrying his son.

The list goes on and on...I won't bore you....it's just stuff that has gone on for the past 5 years....

He has told me "get ready girl because I am getting everything I can and taking you to court"....

I am going to put as little in writing as possible and talk as little as I can on the phone.

I have ask the school to put him on a direct mailing list for all notes/reports/grades...it seems when I give him these things its never good enough...but yet our agreement says he has full and legal access to all medical/dental/school/daycare records and that he can go directly to the source. He never utilizes this right...he expects me to furnish copies of everything!!! I do...and when I give it to him its never good enough...he wants more...the problem is I can only give him what I have!!!!

thanks
