Does Your Divorce Need Evidence?

Last updated on August 17, 2023

During a divorce, there is a range of issues that you and your spouse will need to address. Who has primary custody of your kids? How will your property and financial accounts be divided? Will one of you receive alimony?

If you are like other divorcing couples in Georgia, it is not always easy to come to a mutual agreement on these matters. When this happens, it will be up to you and your divorce lawyer to build a strong case to support your position. And a strong case relies on solid evidence.

Where To Look For Evidence To Support Your Position

At Daniels & Rothman, we take a proactive approach to building our divorce cases. From day one, we will create a plan to help you locate and secure vital evidence. As your legal counsel, we can help you understand how to secure evidence of:

  • Income: Evidence can include pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns, a business audit and bank statements.
  • Hidden assets: We will look for evidence of unreported income, secret bank accounts or retirement accounts, phony business expenses, safe deposit boxes and financial accounts created using your child’s Social Security number.
  • Adultery: Evidence can include credit card charges, receipts, photographs, emails, texts, phone calls and online posting.
  • Abuse: Evidence may include police records, hospital records, witness statements and your written documentation of any abuse events.

Our Athens family law practice is led by Gregory Daniels, an experienced attorney with nearly 25 years of legal practice. Mr. Daniels is highly skilled in contested divorce matters and understands where to look for evidence and how to use that evidence to the benefit of our clients.

Do Not Create Evidence That Can Be Used Against You

As you go through the divorce process, it is important that you do not create any evidence that your spouse could potentially use against you. This means you need to be cognizant of your texts, phone calls, voice messages, Facebook posts, financial spending, Internet browsing, alcohol use and conversations with your children. Your spouse can take any negative comments or actions and use them as ammunition in your divorce. Be especially mindful of all digital and online activity. Do not send threatening texts. Do not bad-mouth your spouse online or in an email. Once created, these records do not go away and a crafty lawyer can spin them against you.
