Are text messages allowed in divorce court?

Yes, if they are legally obtained. Are you paying for the phone, is it your account or paid for with marital funds? Preserve them of make copies. On the other hand please do realize that you Michigan is a no-fault state and infidelity is not unusual as a marriage fails and therefore the difference in the outcome of the divorce, with regarding the the property and support issues may not be as great as you might assume. If you are considering divorce, consult my offices or another attorney as early in the process as possible.

Hi, Text messages and phone information is allowed in a divorce. The key is how they were obtained. If you have hacked into her phone that could be illegal. On the other hand if they were subpoenaed or you had access to the phone then it should be legal. Talk to an attorney for more advice and information. Good luck to you. Henry Gornbein

Yes, depending upon how you got them. If you are going to be introducing that type of evidence you will be workign with a local attny and he/she will go over the pros and cons with you and the way it may help your case. Take care.

There are many factors in a divorce case. One of them may be what you have. You should consult soon with a lawyer so you understand your rights and the pros and cons of each action you may take.

In order to obtain the content of the text messages that your wife is receiving or sending, she must sign a release. A subpoena and/or a court order are ineffective because Federal Law controls and preempts any State interference. Text messages are allowed in court but that is the least of your concerns, obtaining them is nearly impossible. I suggest you contact my office or another attorney, to discuss your matter in more detail.
