Question:

I am worried about my children's living conditions when they are with my ex-wife, and I would like to know if a child custody modification is justified.

I keep a very clean home and provide a stable environment for my children, which they do not receive when staying with my ex-wife.

How can I get my kids' living conditions inspected and have it officially recorded to present as evidence during a possible child custody modification trial?

What is required in this report? Do you need to provide to each party all documents, evidence, emails, voice messages, or any other key evidentiary documents at the time of the report being due?

The answer to what and when you have to produce evidence will depend on your local rules, the pretrial order, and your state's child custody laws.

An understanding of these evidentiary rules can help fathers talk to their divorce lawyers and be in a better position to assist their attorney and stay active in the case. 

A common example is the statement by a child about what they experienced at the other parent’s house during parenting time. The following is an example of the checklist that is passing through your attorney’s head as you are explaining what you believe to be evidence:

With approximately 2.5 billion text messages being sent back and forth across the United States each day, it is no surprise that text messages are being used as evidence in divorce and child custody cases.

It is important to keep in mind that in family law cases, if the content of the text messages are deemed relevant by the court, they will most likely be admitted into evidence.
