Recording Phone Calls
In a contested, divorce always assume that any statement you make is recorded. This includes telephone calls and answering machine messages. Do not say or do anything that you would not want a court to know about. In most states it is legal to record any conversation that you are involved in. Such recordings are admissible in Court. However, it is a felony to record a conversation in which you are not involved. An example would be placing a recording device on a telephone to capture conversations between your spouse and another individual.
Most courts disapprove of recordings of conversations with the children since it involves them in an adult dispute. ALWAYS consult with a Salt Lake City Divorce Lawyer before making any recordings. In a custody battle in divorce court in Utah it can be a good thing to record the conversations if your spouse is admitting to certain things, or is complimenting you. This will disprove anything they say in court if it is not in line with the recording.
