Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

Re: intellectual property of blog content and admissablity

In my opinion, there is no one way to easily answer the question. I would first need to know more information about the entire context of the situation. First, if you have an attorney, he or she should answer this question for you. If you don't have an attorney, I think you are in for a lot of problems with your case.

Next, we need to divide things into can or will. For example, whether something "can" be done in an evidence or procedural process is far different then whether something "will" be done. Keep in mind that Judge probably has no clue what a blog is anyway.

As you can test for yourself, anytime you print out a webpage, the date and URL print out at the bottom. Without that, there is a good chance that it was edited. Also, the other party would have to link it to you directly which may not be possible. Finally, the Judge may admit it but decide to not take it into consideration.

As I said, there is no one way to answer this quection as these cases are not equations in which you plug in data and out is spit the same result every time. However, if you have a good lawyer, he should be able to prevent another party from using edited, out of context information in a divorce proceeding.
