A:
I apologize for your difficult situation, but I have a few important things to note:
In California, it is illegal to record a private conversation without the consent of all parties involved. Recording someone without their knowledge or permission could potentially get you in legal trouble rather than help your case.
Filing a lawsuit against your father for $50,000 would likely require proving significant quantifiable damages that he directly caused you. False charges and lack of notification about a court date regarding your son are serious issues, but may be difficult to translate to a specific monetary amount. You'd need to consult with a lawyer to see if you potentially have a case.
Getting deported and losing custody of your child are separate legal matters from suing your dad. To address those issues, you'd likely need an immigration attorney and a family law attorney respectively.
My recommendation would be to consult with legal professionals who specialize in the relevant areas of law before taking any action. Many offer free initial consultations. Avoid doing anything illegal like secret recordings. Document everything you can to support your case.
I would also suggest looking into local legal aid societies, immigrant advocacy organizations, and father's rights groups for additional advice and support during this challenging time. I hope you are able to resolve these difficult legal situations. Let me know if you need any other information.
