Basically my ex-wife is telling my kids that I was abusive and when I asked her why she was letting her children lie when she knew it was not true through an email she said that they lied because of her and I getting divorced. While she and the children told the state I was physically abusive ...

If you have emails that were legally obtained (as if they are from your Inbox), I believe that it is perfectly legal to use them in court as evidence.
However, it will be the Judge's final decision!

It may depend on what state you live in, but a court will say that anyone could have hacked into your ex-wife's email and sent you a message. Get a pocket tape recorder. A good one! Call her on the phone and ask her, or if you have any contact with her in person that will work too. Just keep your cool! In most states it is legal to tape a phone conversation, or any other verbal conversation, as long as you are one of the parties involved in it. You can't tape someone elses conversation, but it is legal to tape your own! Get me? Good luck!

NO... Anyone can set up an email account.... It doesn't mean that she is the one that said those things.. It is a HEAR say thing.... Her lawyer can say you were the one that set up the account to try to trap her... The only way to have it work would be, if she did not live at your home and her personal computer was taken into court and all her info was taken from her hard drive... Then it may be used......

Emails have a lot of data other than content.... The email is admissible - if you do not dispute the content/data on the collection - If you do, then one could subpoena the IP owner for records... IE who sent the email - This is true - disbelive the hotmail, free mail myths....

yes, print those emails out and take it to court, also any phone conversations where she leave bogus messages save them and they can be played in court even just to prove her character.

Emails are admissable in court.

Yes it's kinda like you taping a phone call from her. Let you lawyer know you have that and see what he want to do with it.

Yes, as long as the e-mails were not illegally obtained.
