Three Common Pieces of Evidence in Divorce Cases

Three Common Pieces of Evidence in Divorce Cases

Social Media: Is your social media account something you would be proud of a judge seeing? How would it look in the eyes of a Judge in conjunction with the legal arguments your legal team has implemented? What is your partner’s social media presence? Communicate with your family law lawyer regarding how social media can help or harm your case.

Tax Returns: Tax Returns will be reviewed and scrutinized as part of most family law matters because income is relevant to support and asset characterization and division. If a party has concerns about their tax returns or believes tax returns can assist in their matter, it should be brought to the attention of a family law attorney sooner rather than later.

Text Messages/Emails: Text messages and emails are evidence. There are consequences for spoliation of evidence. That said, parties are stuck with what they have done or said in text/email message, and it is very likely that a Court will see some of the text/email messages if a matter proceeds to litigation. Partys should communicate wisely and speak with their lawyer regarding text messages or emails that can hurt or harm their matter.
