In what circumstances will a judge allow a mother to record her husband’s conversations with the child?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Palod v. MacDonald, 2018 ONCJ 507 (CanLII):
Rather I find that recordings support the position of the mother that the father is manipulating the child and that he is not child focused. In a similar situation in the case of Reddick v. Reddick[4] taped recordings were ruled admissible as the evidence went to “such important issues of parental alienation and inappropriate pressure on the children.”
