Polygraph and Divorce and Family Matters
Divorce or a dispute over custody is a situation full of emotions, where one party wants to prove their credibility. In such cases, a polygraph is sometimes considered — and it’s worth knowing what it can really do and what it can’t. We’ll tell it straight, because honest expectations are more important than promises.
This is an informative material, not a legal advice.
Short Answer
The test may support your credibility, but it does not decide the case. The test result is a supporting evidence, which the court evaluates freely along with the rest of the material.
How much weight does the polygraph result have in family court?
A private report from the test can be submitted in the proceedings, but the court decides how much weight to give it — in accordance with the principle of free evaluation of evidence. We write more about the legal status of the polygraph result in the article is polygraph evidence in court, and the service is described on the page polygraph in court.
When is the test useful?
It usually makes sense when it’s about one specific question — for example, confirming or refuting an accusation that affects the trust between the parties. In cases of infidelity, we also recommend reading the article can polygraph detect infidelity and the page lie detector and infidelity.
Always voluntary and with consent
You cannot and should not test someone against their will. The test requires a conscious, written consent, and refusal is not evidence of guilt. This is a principle that protects both parties.
What we don’t promise
We don’t promise a 'win’ based on the polygraph test or a result with '100% certainty’. You can read more about the accuracy of the polygraph in the article how accurate is polygraph. A reliable result is the best support because it’s honest.
