Divorce attorneys in West Palm Beach and elsewhere acknowledge that custody/visitation battles and can be bitter and highly acrimonious.  Emotions run high and sometimes good judgment is abandoned by both parents.  When the loss of good judgment is combined with modern technology, then the results can become tragic and out of proportion.  However, one parent recently sunk to a new low. According to court documents in Omaha, a mother recently was caught after she placed a listening device inside the teddy bear of her four-year-old-daughter during a custody battle.  Little did the father know that the miniature bear (which he had given to his daughter as a present and which the little girl carried everywhere with her) was doing more than just staring at him with its beady little eyes.  Fortunately, the court did not permit the tapes to be entered into evidence.  Nebraska's law (like Florida's law on recording) does not permit the admission into evidence of tape recordings of conversations, unless all participants agree to be recorded.  In this case, no one agreed to be recorded, including the teddy bear.  Subsequently, the father brought a civil law suit against the mother and her attorneys for illegally recording him.
