Legal Question in Family Law in California
Recording a Hearing
I am currently in a civil matter. On one matter the judge made an order, but it wasn't written down, and twice the opposing party stated I said things at a previous hearing (same judge) that I did not say. Because of these three errors, I wrote the judge and asked requested to record future proceedings. I believe it's important that what is said at my hearing is what is actually said, not someone's interpretation. I was denied. This surprises me. Not having accurate documentation seems contrary to what justice is about. #1. Why would a judge deny this? #2. Can I ask for a new judge?

Re: Recording a Hearing
Most courts have a court report whose duty is accurately record what is said in court. I believe that the court does not want to have to deal with a conflict between the reporter's transcript and the tape recording.
