Summary:
"Issues of access to and the forensic use of electronic evidence are front and center to our social agenda--and nowhere are those issues more complicated than in family law. Who but a spouse knows your passwords and may share legal title to the accounts that control your family's information? This...book explains the complexities of evidence as well as how to effectively integrate this knowledge into your family law practice. The authors put this information in...terms for lawyers who must speak about these issues with clients, with expert witnesses who command vast knowledge of the field, and with judges who may have little familiarity with the subject beyond sending and receiving e-mail."-- Publisher's website.
