the benefits of journaling

[NSA4answers]

What is the name of your state? Co.

Ok I have done this, I have a journal that dates back to the beginning of 2005, and previous but not as regularly before that but there's still written accounts of the ongoings... HOW on earth does that help me? I feel like if I were to submit it to the court it would just be me pointing the finger at him. And how could I ever prove that he didn't pick our daughter up when he was supposed to or was late picking her up or bringing her home. Just because I say so in a journal? Another thing I have done is transfer text message conversations to the journal because he badgers me and calls me names a lot in text message. How can I ever prove that any of this ever occurred. It's not like I could get him to sign it saying that it happened. He's an outrageous liar and would just say to the judge, that never happened. I've never really understood how the journaling thing is beneficial.

I started a new thread, I didn't want to hijack someone else's thread. Thanks.

Journaling can be useful as a tool at refreshing your memory and your journal COULD be submitted as evidence in a trial. then it comes down to credibility.

A journal is also helpful for an attorney in forumulating direct and cross examination.
