Using Recordings

Card image cap

I'm currently in a guardianship dispute with my parent over guardianship of my disabled sibling. After my other parent passed away the living parent kicked me out of my home a month after she passed away (illegally). After living there alone for a few months my disabled sibling confided in me about this parent hitting him and giving him unprescribed medication. The parent I'm taking to court has been physically/verbally/emotionally abusive in the past and drinks and drives daily. I have recordings of admissions, videos of my siblings fears and disclosure, and photos of the copious amount of alcohol always in the home. However, my current lawyer says I can't use these without going to a higher level of criminal court instead of just going the guardianship route. The thing is this parent denied everything absolute in their affidavit and I have multiple types of documentation proving there counter allegations false.

So my question is. These recordings, photos, and videos are available and show the other parent is clearly lying. How can I present my evidence.
