Client Considerations

It is advisable to offer your client a few important recommendations so as not to jeopardize the recovery of useful information.

  1. Do not attempt any online access to a spouse's Internet e-mail account using their password.
  2. Stop running any defragmentation routines on computer of interest.
  3. Draft a list of all search criteria and other items of interest for a forensic examination.

Possible items to consider for forensic recovery:

  • Deleted document and e-mails
  • Internet e-mails
  • Internet History
  • Internet searching criteria used by spouse
  • Active and deleted image restoration
  • Financial records retrievals
  • Mobile phone synch data files
  • IM chat




 

Family Law Disputes

describe the image
While no two divorce cases are exactly the same, there is always a fair amount of frustrating challenges in gathering sufficient evidence to support or refute specific claims being made by a client or their spouse.  With today's reliance upon computers at work and in the home, the existence of tangible and relevant electronic information pertaining to a divorce case can no longer be overlooked.

The use of home computers may involve e-mail or instant messaging communications that might reveal an extra-marital affair, or other inappropriate activities.  The home computer may be used by one of the parties in concealing various income sources or investments from the other spouse and using passwords for protection.  The home computer can also be used to frequent pornographic sites including the possibility of child pornography. Often times, the forensic recovery of these pornographic images reveal the fact that the Internet visitor did not proactively save these images but merely viewed them and assumed that such viewing would remain undetected.
