Legal Question in Family Law in Ohio

Admissibility of Web Site

A friend of mine owns a website. Her husband's ex-wife is trying to use this website as a way to show that she is unfit to be around her kids. The site is not a porn-site and no illegal activities go on in it.

My question is, how admissable are web sites in a family court situation? Can she use the site to her benefit since it has a messageboard that has been running for 4 years full of people that could vouch for how responsible and mature she really is?

The ex-wife is trying to use writings that have an obvious satirical and ironic tone in order to prevent what little visitation the father gets.

Thank you for your help in this matter, my friend is very distraught over this and the sooner you can get back to me with an answer or at the very least point me to any resources that can help me find out more about web sites used in the courtroom, the sooner she could stop stressing out and prepare her case.
