Legal Question in Family Law in California

Recorded conversations for court use

My ex-husband is attempting to gain full custody of our daughter. I can't afford an attorney like he can so I have been recording conversations with him, our daughter, his attorney and others involved. Can I legally use them for my defense in Court?
