Program Description
E-mail and text message evidence is often presented in Family Court for various purposes. In some cases, a Petitioner seeks a restraining order and will present harassing messages allegedly sent by the respondent. In other cases, child custody disputes often include similar evidence. The relaxed rules of evidence place the respondent in a position of needing to "prove a negative" and the court in a situation where its rules run counter to its goals.
