Your question is very confusing and does not provide sufficient detail to provide an answer [and the question may be too complicated to lend itself to a simple answer in any case].
Do you have an attorney representing you in the litigation? If so, why not ask him/her? If not, you should hire an attorney as soon as possible.
I do need to know more information to adequately answer the question. Please contact my office if you would like to discuss this matter further.
I have read your question, and I understand that you want to use their statements against them. Usually, you can use whatever a person says against them in Court. There are some technical rules on this, so I can not be sure, but probably you can.
This is only a little part of the fight. I understand that the wife and children sued and settled without telling your side of the family what was going on. I do this kind of work. Call me if you want to discuss it. 201 820 3460.
