Answering Machine Messages

[jpantel]

Soc,

I am in Pro Per in Orange County, California in a custody matter.

I have a few answering machine messages left by the respondent mother knowingly that I would like to submit into evidence.

One is of the mother say that our child is hers, all hers, she will tell me when I can see him and for how long I can see him, how she wants child support and when she wants it.

I think that the court needs to hear the tone of her voice and the controlling nature of the respondent so they know why I had to take her to court in the first place.

1. Can you please find me case law or anything I can notate to the court that shows that answering machine messages that are knowingly left are admissable in court?

A person who knowingly leaves a message on an answering machine, knows that they are being recorded, therefore the recording is admissible.

What exactly do you want to prove with your recording?
