Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey
My ex husband is taking me to court to lower his child support alleging he isn't employed.
I have proof he is working. What is admissable to the judge to provide proof?
Is a recording of him identifying himself answering the business line?

The rule against hearsay is deceptively simple and full of exceptions. Hearsay is an out of court statement, made or brought into the court's hearing, to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Even if a statement meets the requirements for hearsay, the statement may yet be admissible under one of the exceptions to the hearsay rule. There are twenty-four exceptions in the federal rules.
Perhaps the easier way is to subpoena the HR custodian of records at the place he is working.....

You might consider spending a few hundred dollars to have a private investigator follow him several mornings.
better yet, sit down with a smart lawyer and plan out how to beat him on this. if you are right...well, he is committing perjury in an effort to cheat his children. the Judge will not be very happy with him.
Really not happy.
