Q: Does the courts take text messages and pics as evidence/proof??
The father of my children has been on drugs and selling drugs. We are married. He was living in my home before I realized he was doing drugs. He over dozed in our home. I have pics of the damage he caused in our bathroom and hospitalizations of him being in coma. On top of that I took pics of his text messages, he was selling drugs too.

A: Yes, text messages and pictures can be used as evidence/proof in court, provided that they are authentic and relevant to the case. It is important to make sure that the evidence is not tampered with or altered in any way. In your situation, the pictures of the damage caused by drug use and hospitalization of the father of your children can be used to support your claims. The text messages showing drug sales can also be used to support your case. It is advisable to speak with an attorney who can guide you through the process of presenting this evidence in court.
