Are tape recordings of conversations admissable in divorce court when the party doing the recording is doing so without the knowledge or consent of the other party?
Wayvic
It depends on how the recording was obtained and whether or not the presiding judge will allow it to be used.
Usually, taped conversations are only admissible as evidence if at least one of the parties involved in the conversation has knowledge that the conversation is being recorded. In some jurisdictions, all parties must know that the conversation is being recorded. Check with a local divorce attorney to determine the laws in your particular jurisdiction.
Regardless, in most jurisdictions in the country, divorce is "no-fault," so past conduct does not have any bearing on the award of a divorce, or the award of maintenance (alimony), so it may not make any difference anyway. ---- See Related Link Below

Is phone recording equipment legal to use on a residential phone line?
There are seperate wiretapping laws for both federal and state governments. At the Federal level there is the "one-party consent" law which requires the consent to tape the conversation by at least one of the parties involved. In most states, it is legal to record phone conversations. Some states have laws that require both parties to agree to the recording of the conversation in order for it to be legal. In most cases, conversations recorded without an individual's knowledge are not admissable in court unless the recordings were authorized beforehand by the court.

Is a voice recording of someone admitting to something admissible in custody cases?
Yes it is as long as the other person knew it was being recorded (ie. voice mail). If the recording was with a hidden recorder then it can not be used as evidence. * Rhode Island allows "one person" taping of phone conversations and in-person conversations without the knowledge of other participants. The designation of "one person" applies to the caller or the person receiving the call or both, or to the person(s) engaged in face-to-face conversation. RI General Statutes, 11-35-21 (c)(3). Whether or not such recordings can be entered as evidence against or for either party involved in any type litigation depends upon the ruling of the court.
