So we went to court today....
In mediation it was brought up by my ex that my current husband disiplined our child and he was not happy about it. When that was brought up, I brought up and incident where my child had told me that her father slapped her in the face very hard. When the mediator spoke with my child she again told the mediator about the slapping incident. We live in a county where the mediator files a report to the judge. The mediator voiced her concern with the slapping and recommended full physical custody to me (we had 50/50), and he was to have every other weekend. His attorney then told the judge that I lied about that all and I made her say that. I have video of her telling me about the incident of the slapping. It is on my phone and the phone was hidden and my daughter was unaware of me recording anything. I often recorded our conversations after I picked her up because she usually would cry about everything she had to deal with at he fathers home. She is 5 years old. She begs and pleads to not go with her father because she fears him.
So we now have an evidentiary hearing on August 13, and I was wondering if the video I have will be able to be used at the trial. It shows very clearly that my daughter told me about the hitting and I had no part of leading her to say anything.....
