Domestic Relations
The use of Electronic Evidence in Domestic Relations matters is becoming increasingly more prevalent and important.
Since electronic devices act as both repositories of content as well as witnesses to the activity that is conducted by using them, electronic devices and the electronic evidence contained on them are seen as more believable vignettes into the truth. Since electronic devices record their information without bias and do so even without the knowledge of the end-user, they can be extremely good sources for untainted evidence. In the domestic relations front, the use of electronic evidence is wide and varied. The data center discovery phase can be a crucial aspect of divorce investigations and other domestic disputes.
