The reason that discussions in mediation are not admissible in court is not because they are hearsay, but because they are part of settlement negotiations. It
Thank you, great advice! Probaby myspace is the worse thing just because it is a place for a social network. Nothing risky on it though.

Ex cancelled 2nd mediation. Means COURT! He is trying to get 50% at any cost. He told his family that I talked bad about them in the first mediation, that I called them trash and I didn’t want my son to be around them. That is a blatant lie and I confirmed it with the mediator. But since mediation is confidential it is heresay. Anyone that has been to mediation knows that they do not allow that anyway. All we discussed was schedule, PERIOD! I think he told them that to get money out of them to pursure court.
So how can he prove me unfit? I don’t do drugs, commit crimes, act immoral, have had same boyfriend for 3 years, do not live with him, work everyday, involved in school…
Besides making stuff up and recording heated conversations and email exchange what does he have on me?
My boyfriend is in a rock band and we have been extras in a scary movie, but is that illegal?? Can they use that against me? Can they use myspace against you? I’m just wondering what to expect. I’m inventoring all my faults and possbile bad decisions but I don’t think anything has negatively impacted my son.
I have a lawyer but she is swamped and doesn’t have time for me right now. Should I change lawyers?? So many questions…
Can you use recorded phone calls, emails, etc… If so I can prove adultry by email, if that even matters. I have been the primary custodial parent since my son’s birth. How can he just get 50%…? I don’t know what to expect now that mediation is closed. When do we get a court date…
