Legal Question in Family Law in South Carolina

Re: admisable evidence

Evidence of a violation of a court order can come from anyone with first-hand knowledge. So, if photos are being used, the person taking them can introduce them at a hearing, and that person is not required to be a licensed private investigator.

However, if the person has any bias at all (such as being a friend or family member), then his/her credibility can be questioned. That is one reason that it's better to use a licensed investigator, plus a professional will usually get you better (i.e. more helpful) evidence.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.

If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
