can I present someone’s criminal record in court? (Updated)?
my child’s mother abducted our son earlier this year and i will finally be able to be seen before a judge. She has violated the terms of custody established in the court on multiple occassions. All the while she was serving a 36 month probation sentence. I have a copy of her criminal record and I believe it would be in my best interest to present this to the court as evidence of her erratic behavior. It is something that I believe has adversley affected our son now, and will continue to do so in the future if something drastic is not done.

Its legal and also a good point I would reccomend showing it as it would make good leverage.

Someone that goes into court without a lawyer is a fool. I’ll tell you that much for sure!

If she violated her probabation you need to inform the judge of that. As far as showing and abstract of her history, remember that she can also present yours. A pissing match is not necessary. Judges hear that mud slinging all the time. You should get your way based only on the issue at hand…..no need to go any further.

Get a lawyer and he/she will know. Don’t go to court without one. I know most of them are ambulance chasers, but in this case you will need one.

I think you need to file a special request form in which you ask a judge if evidence can be present in court.
If there was a court order on child custody and she violated that order (child abduction) then why she is not arrested yet? All you have to do is to make a one phone-call to police. This is the first question a judge is going to ask you: "After your child has not been returned to you on time as outlined in the child-custody court order, did you call the police?"

Absolutely! Then be prepared to ask for full custody, with supervised visitations until she gets her act together.

I go back to what I said before – you haven’t defined "criminal record."
If the records you have are from the court you will be in (the same county, I’m saying), then you would probably do better to just tell the judge you’re going before what docket(s) numbers you’re talking about the let the judge review the information for himself. Judges are allowed to take "judicial notice" of many things, and court dockets are among the many.
This is too serious an issue to rely on Yahoo! Answers for. You really need to seek the advice of an attorney.
