Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

Worried

my ex and i are fighting for custody. we each have lawyers. we just had a Pre-trial confrence on 11-6-06. i have a book of my ex-girlfriends that has a suicide letter that she wrote with her blood all over it. now, i have taken this book to court with me in the past(when i had no lawyer) and they didn't even want to see it. at this past hearing, my lawyer brought it up, and she denied that it was hers, said that she had ''never seen it before in her life.'' the judge doesn't want anything to do with it. whether the suicide note existed or not, i still strongly believe that she needs a mental evaluation. How do you prove something like that when they'll believe any lie that she tells? how do i go about this? any sugestions are greatly appreciated, Thank you.

Re: Worried

You asked about introducing evidence in a custody matter.

First, you'll need to bring this matter up with your lawyer. S/he'll need to have the blood and handwriting analyzed. When introduced again, s/he can then seek to authenticate the document by proving that the blood type is hers and that the handwriting is hers.

It's a matter of properly establishing evidence. If she doesn't own up to it your attorney must establish that it is hers.
