we do hang up and the CPS say's it is abuse but they cant touch her because she lives in a different state and the kids live with us and are in a safe place here. emotional and verble abuse is what CPS called it.

Lady, I mean no disrespect , but you've been watching too many movies. She lives in California? You are in violation of the law. CA requires all party consent to recording a phone conversation. It doesn't matter that you live in Texas which is a one party consent state. The fact that people know about your tapings could lead to you being prosecuted for criminal charges and having to pay her damages.

Well, first off, I'm not sure that what she says could be considered child abuse depending on what is said, it could be just her opinions, which are just that, opinions. Depends on how it is viewed by whatever legality you are trying to appeal to,and it would more than likely vary state to state. Secondly, recorded statements are not always the best method to resolve the situation, you could just as easily hang up the phone, unless she has a court order to be able to speak to her kids. A lot also depends on how old the kids are. An qualified attorney should be able to handle this situation very easily.

In child abuse cases the courts can allow anything in they feel is pertinent to the case! I would use them in court, just like I used a father relieving himself of sperm on video tape, in stockings and high heels, which he showed the kids. It was sandwiched between two children movies! I didn't have any trouble. Heresay is admissible in child abuse cases!
You should go to your local CPS, and if no response, call their Director, and then the Governor! Anyone can file a petition of neglect or abuse, at least in my state, and we used the same federal guidelines everyone else used!

mild irritant - that was really mean. people are uneducated for a variety of reasons, and i dont think that anyone is really justified to diminish others based on a lack of any knowledge. Of course, in this case, it seems the lack of knowledge is insignificant.
Secondly, I have met and know several wonderful people that due to life's twists and turns- they dont possess some things that others are more fortunate to posses.
anyways, take it easy.

Actually your spelling is pretty good, maybe some typing errors, still better than most. As for your question, I think that you should definitely be able to use it in court, but I would suggest talking to a lawyer.

When did schools stop teaching people how to SPELL?
I have no idea what you just said because your spelling is so terrible!
Seriously, you should work on that if you want people to take you seriously.
