Digital Evidence Commonly Relevant to Family Law

Depending on the issues in the case and the evidence lawfully available, relevant digital sources may include:

  • Text messages, iMessages, and other available communications
  • Call history, contacts, and voicemail
  • Photos, videos, and metadata
  • Social media and application activity available for examination
  • Web browsing and internet activity
  • Location and movement information when available
  • Computer files, email, and user activity
  • Deleted and hidden data when technically recoverable

How Digital Forensics Can Assist

Digital forensics may help organize and interpret evidence that would otherwise be difficult to evaluate in context.

  • Correlate communications with dates and events
  • Develop timelines from available digital evidence
  • Analyze location information where relevant
  • Identify patterns of device, application, or computer activity
  • Preserve and examine relevant digital evidence
  • Explain technical findings to counsel and authorized clients

Working With Counsel

A focused examination is often more useful than an unnecessarily broad one. CAER can work with counsel to define the relevant issues and evidence sources.

  • Family law matters often involve sensitive personal information, so scope and relevance are important
  • CAER can work with attorneys to focus the examination on the issues that matter to the case
  • When third-party records may be relevant, CAER can assist counsel in identifying appropriate technical categories to request
  • Findings can be summarized in a format designed to help counsel understand the evidence
