Hey Mickey,
In my TRO - I checked a box on the form allowing me to record conversations... any type. Not sure if this is something available to you but perhaps you can file an ex parte motion for a TRO and make sure it allows you to do this? I don't know but maybe you can even go to court based on the circumstances to get JUST an order to record his horrid and harrassing calls?
I also think if you allow the answering machine to pick up - then allow it to continue recording the call, he doesn't need to be told he is being recorded as the machine just told him that. I'm in CA, I'm NOT a lawyer and I don't play one on TV... but I do wish you lots of luck as this is a super sucky situation, I really hate abusive people.![]()
