Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

Email evidence

well I finally figured out my ex strategy and why he didnt want to agree to our parenting plan. He is going to try to get custody by proving I was denying him access to our child, when in fact he wasnt around. last year, he sent several emails about wanting to see our child after I emailed to ask him. Before the court issued any order, when I would call to set up, he would cancel,, then he would respond by harshly by saying I am denying him access and all he wants to do is see our child. I think this is bogus. I should have know his game since he has been through the custody thing with hisolder child'd mom (she has custody and he doesnt visit her). He always says one thing and does another. Can he use these emails against me?

Re: Email evidence

He can try, but to refute this, you should email him whenever he plays this game and memorialize that you have made the child available and he is cancelling on his own accord. A judge isn't going to change custody on this basis, unless s/he thinks it is in the best interest of the child. The judge may put a specific visitation plan in place so everyone knows in advance when visitation is to occur.
