NOTICE OF DUTY TO PRESERVE EVIDENCE

TO:
FROM:

RE: Preservation of Electronic and Physical Evidence

Dear ,

Please be advised that we are contemplating or are currently engaged in litigation regarding our marriage. Under Illinois law, including Shimanovsky v. General Motors Corp., 181 Ill. 2d 112 (1998), and Illinois Supreme Court Rule 219, you have an affirmative duty to preserve all evidence that may be relevant to this matter.

This duty attaches immediately. I formally demand that you take immediate steps to preserve—and refrain from deleting, overwriting, hiding, or altering—any of the following:

Electronic Communications: All text messages (iMessage, SMS), emails, and messages on encrypted apps (Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger). Do not delete any threads.
Financial Records: All bank statements, credit card records, and access to online banking portals.
Digital Assets: Access to cryptocurrency wallets (hardware or software), exchange accounts (Coinbase, Binance), and keys.
Social Media: Do not delete posts, photos, or change privacy settings on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Twitter.
Devices: Do not factory reset, sell, or destroy any mobile phone, laptop, tablet, or hard drive currently in your possession.

WARNING: If you delete, hide, or destroy any of this information after receiving this notice, it constitutes "Spoliation of Evidence." I will petition the Court for severe sanctions, which may include:

Barring you from presenting evidence in your defense.
Presuming that the deleted evidence was harmful to your case.
Monetary fines and payment of my legal fees.

Gover yourself accordingly.

Sincerely,

This letter is a tool generated by Steele Family Law. It is not a court order, but it creates a legal "duty to preserve."
