Legal Question in Family Law in California
1. Should I deliver the sealed documents to the opposing party even if this evidence is to prove the other party's perjury (Family Law) at the hearing?
2. Can I present the sealed documents (Voice Record-court approved) at the hearing or should I file it before hearing? Thanks in advance.

You need to exchange or disclose per the rules of court and civil procedure the pleadings and documents which you file with the court. If you are attempting some impeachment evidence then you do not need to disclose that until the time when you have your trial. As for evidence of recordings, voice recordings are admissible evidence, if you can lay the foundation for their admissibility. Please bear in mind, in California it is illegal to record someones phone conversation without their consent.
For self represented individuals you can consult with the family law facilitator self help center at your local court house.
As always please consult a local attorney prior to taking legal action. Good luck. Also please check out my Santa Clara County Family Lawyer blog.
