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 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.
