You will have to check in with an attorney. Recording a phone message is different than taping someone's conversation without their being aware of its being recorded.
So long as one of the people involved in the conversation knew that it was being recorded, the recordings should be admissible in any court, pending verification of the tapes authenticity.
In some states it takes one person's permission, in other's, both parties must consent. However, if it's a voicemail, or the person who didn't know wants it to be admissible, that's okay.
No. Tapes cannot be because apart from usually poor vision, they can be edited to the maker's use if they want to.

It depends why your sister in law taped your brother. If she is trying to get grounds for divorce then a tape recording is generally not admissible in a court of law. If a crime was committed and say your brother admitted to that crime it may still not be admissible in a court of law, but some judges may listen to the tape and deem whether it can be used in court as evidence.

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
