Frequently Asked Questions
What makes documentation admissible in court?
Judges look for clear, objective facts with dates, times, and specific details. Avoid emotional language and focus on what happened, not your interpretation of why it happened.
How often should I document incidents?
Document every significant incident—missed pickups, schedule deviations, concerning communications, and anything that affects your child's wellbeing. Patterns are powerful evidence.
Can I use screenshots of texts as evidence?
Yes, but preserve the full context. Include dates, times, and the full conversation thread. Many courts now accept digital evidence, but your attorney can advise on your jurisdiction's specific rules.
What should I do if I'm concerned about my child's safety?
Contact your local child protective services or law enforcement immediately. Document everything and inform your attorney right away. Your child's safety is the priority.
