Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

Can i use Facebook status/pictures/comments against the petitioner during a custody battle? Will the Judge even consider that info as valuable. For example ''in need of drugs''

As long as you don't obtain the information by deceptive means (e.g. you can't pretend to be someone else to "friend" the other party to get access to their profile), then you can use their Facebook info as evidence. You will have to disclose your evidence in advance based on the deadlines set by the judge or by the rules.

That sounds like VERY relevant information. I would expect most Judges would allow it in.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options in your custody matter. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
