Hello!
Well my husband is going through some issues with his ex over their 7 y/o daughter. Well my husband & I have been together for 3 years and its been a lot of drama with them, which the entire time I have remined silent because its not my kid and they didnt need my two cents. Well things have reached the next level this week, we tried to go pick up his daughter on HIS scheduled days PER the parenting plan and she refused to let the 7 y/o come. And the only reason the child had to say why she didnt want to come "its boring" ok, what child isnt bored?? Well anyway, my husband, his ex, and child were all on the front porch and I was waiting in the car. Well things started to heat up and she was yelling and she started yelling about me and saying lies about me. So I have had enough, I calmly get out of the car to defend myself. I mean, I have been quiet for over 2 years and I will not let her tell lies about me and I have never done anything to his ex to provoke her. So I calmly walk up to state my defense and she FLIPS out! She is threatening to "kick my a**" and all kinds of stuff, and I just remain calm and not feed into it. And all of this is going on the 7 y/o is watching the whole thing. So a neighbor guy walked over to try and keep peace and she asked him if she could "kick my a**" or if she took me inside the house could she shoot me? Well the cops finally show up and of course they do nothing... They said it was a civil matter and couldn't make the child go. If we would have known we would have mentioned the threats then, but we have NEVER had the cops called on us, so we were kind of shocked.
But the thing is my husband had an audio recorder in his pocket the ENTIRE time, and you can hear the child in the background and at one point the ex says that the child could and needed to hear all of this because my husband asked her to go in the house.
So we have contacted our lawyer and he said all information and proof that we have on her is great, but I was wondering if this was grounds for my husband to gain more custody? Its clear that my SD's mothers house is very unstable, we have TONS of emails and text msgs saved where that is clear, and now this audio recording (and a few other phone conversations).
So my question is has anyone ever used audio recordings and gained anything from it? I mean after all its not just our "word" of what happened, we have it recorded.
Thanks!
