I'm not sure what state you are in...but I'm in Texas. Here we can record a conversation as long as one party has knowledge of it. Example: We record all conversations between my DH and his ex. He knows it is being recorded and he is one half of the conversation. We do this because of all the lies she has told.
Now you can't record the conversation between the child and the other parent. You won't be able to use it. Hope that helps.

You should definitely look into the laws in your state. Some states say you need to let the other person know they are being recorded if you want to use the recordings as evidence others state that it doesn't matter if the other person knows or not.
