I've read a reply in one of the post's here - I forget which one, where someone wrote to print any relevant message(s) as evidence, because a magistrate/judge is not going to sit there and scroll through someone's phone....makes sense to me.
I've got an Android phone that by default, doesn't let you save your text messages somewhere else, or print them. I've found a (computer) program that'll allow me to print and backup my messages off the phone. I have a heap of text messages from and to my son's ex that shows she has told many lies to the Family Court.
The problem is though, that the last couple of days, my phone has erratically been shutting itself off. If I manage to back up and print a copy of these messages, but then my phone completely dies, are these printed copies legal, without having the phone showing the original messages?
Do I also need to print each and every individual message? Parts of the 'conversation' spanning over many months are irrelevant eg: I'd written something like....I just gave junior a splash in the pool. Is it acceptable to delete that type of thing from the messages 'conversation'
