I am the respondent to an IVO which is set for mention next week. I plan to contest as like a lot of people on here, I’m currently going through the Family court to get more time with my child and they allegations are BS. My ex applied for an ex parte order and stated in her application that she has recorded two telephone conversations between us where I have sworn and called her a b$tch etc. Will a magistrate allow this evidence to be used as my understanding is that a telephone conversation can not be recorded without the express consent of both parties? I get that the burden of proof in a civil matter is less than a criminal matter, but what rules of evidence apply?
