question re: "documentation"

People were recommending a poster document her ex's abusive texts. I've written Deadbeat a couple of nasty texts. How might these come back to bite me in the asss? (The theme was always what a deadbeat he is and maybe also how he's turning out just like his own dad, another deadbeat.)

ETA: I may have also threatened to throw all his sh*t on the front lawn (which I didn't do).

    Anything in writing can be shown to a judge, and the judge will form an opinion about you based on it. Mostly the bad things are saying things about the child (i.e. I don't want anything to do with the baby, anything negative about the child), threats against anyone, or any indication of poor parenting skills (talking about doing drugs or drinking around the child or things along those lines).

    I wouldn't worry about having called him a deadbeat. But if you'd said something like you want to take LO away from him or whatever because he is a deadbeat, or something like that, that would be problematic. Like PP said, threats, drug use, alcohol abuse, anything to do with the child... etc... those are things that could be problematic.

    I always am sure to be EXTREMELY civil in my texts because I know that it will come back to make me look good in the end.

    From this point on, I would do the same. Even though what you said doesn't sound too bad... just be careful.

    Like I said before, I saved EVERYTHING. I have texts from him telling me to disappear, he wishes something bad would happen to me, swearing and cursing at me, etc. etc.

    I plan on taking these with me if we were to go to court over anything.

    Yah-i agree with PP-i don't think anything you are referring to could be used against you. I still would try as hard as you can to refrain from that sort of thing.
