I've been advised by mt attorney to record telephone conversations with various persons in Arizona regarding a change in custody. I've been told it's legal there. Is it legal for me to record my conversations from Illinois with the parties in AZ without their knowlege and consent?

Re: Recording telephone conversations

Hello

No. In my opinion the

recording of conversations

across state lines is not

legal because it violates

the existing federal law

prohibiting taping, without

notice to the party being

taped. I hope this informa-

tion is helpful.
