I have video recording of my husband beating me. Can I show this in the child custody hearing?

According to UAE law, it is not permissible to use video recordings as evidence in court without the consent of all parties involved.

This means that you cannot use the video recording of your husband beating you as evidence in the child custody hearing without his consent.

However, you can still present other forms of evidence, such as witness testimonies or medical reports, to support your case for custody.

Dear Inquirer,

Thank you for reaching out.

Evidence such as video recordings can play a crucial role in child custody hearings, but their admissibility depends on various legal factors, including privacy laws and court requirements.

To assess the strength of your evidence and how best to present your case, we strongly recommend consulting with our legal team.

Best regards,

if that video is by the camera system in the house it is possible, but by your phone, it is not allowed.

Thank you for reaching out.

In cases involving child custody, any evidence that can demonstrate the safety and well-being of the children involved is important.

A video recording of such an incident can be valuable, but its admissibility will depend on various factors, including its authenticity, relevance, and the circumstances under which it was obtained.

It’s essential that this evidence is presented in a way that adheres to the legal standards of the court.

I recommend that you do not share the video or any other sensitive material until we have a chance to review it together and discuss how best to proceed with the hearing.

I can assist you in preparing your case and ensuring that all relevant evidence is properly presented.

Please feel free to reach out to me via WhatsApp or phone, and we can discuss your situation further.

Looking forward to helping you resolve this matter.

Dear Madam,

Thank you for your inquiry about using video evidence in your upcoming child custody hearing. I understand this is a sensitive matter, and I'm here to provide you with some guidance.

In response to your question, yes, you can potentially present the video recording of the incident in your garden as evidence during the child custody hearing.

However, please consider the following important points:

1. Admissibility: The court will determine if the video is admissible as evidence. Given its relevance to child safety, it's likely to be considered.

2. Legality: As the recording was made on your private property, it's generally considered legal.

3. Authentication: Be prepared to testify about when and how you recorded the video.

4. Relevance: The court will assess how this evidence relates to the child's best interests and safety.

5. Expert Evaluation: The court may request expert opinions based on this and other evidence.

It is strongly recommended that you consult with a family law attorney before the hearing.

They can guide you on the proper submission of this evidence and help prepare you for any questions that may arise.

If you need any further clarification or have additional questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Best regards,
