Protecting Evidence In a Divorce Case

There are a few steps that you can take to preserve and protect evidence in a divorce case. They are not exhaustive but perhaps the most important one is not on this list. It is revealed only to my current clients. But here are some things you need to consider.

  1. You need to gather and organize your evidence. Start by gathering all of the relevant evidence that you have in your possession, such as documents, photographs, recordings, emails, or text messages. Make copies of these documents and keep the originals in a safe place. Organize the evidence in a logical way, such as by date or by topic, to make it easier to reference later.
  2. Secure your electronic devices: If you have electronic devices, such as a computer, phone, or tablet, that contain evidence relevant to your case, make sure to secure these devices and prevent any tampering or destruction of the evidence. This may involve changing passwords, setting up additional security measures, or securing the devices in a safe place.
  3. Make backups of your electronic evidence: Create backups of any electronic evidence that you have, such as email messages or photographs, to ensure that you have a copy in case the original is lost or destroyed.
  4. Keep a record of your evidence: Create a written record of all of the evidence that you have gathered, including a description of each item and the location where it is stored. This can help you to keep track of your evidence and to provide it to your lawyer or the court as needed.
  5. Lastly you need to consult with a lawyer: If you are concerned about preserving evidence in your divorce case, it is a good idea to consult with a lawyer. You may be behind the “curve” in getting ready to move forward. Legal advise can help you to identify the types of evidence that may be relevant to your case and to develop a plan for preserving and presenting this evidence.

All the best,
