It is increasing popular for people to share a lot of very personal
information on Twitter, Facebook and other social media outlets. Often times individuals in divorce
proceedings share their divorce frustrations with family and friends via social
media. Unfortunately, the sharing of
such information can have many unintentional consequences that can be used
against them in the divorce litigation.
Divorce attorneys regularly experience social media conflicts that get
out of hand during divorce procedures, which can lead to expensive new
lawsuits.
It is
highly recommended to divorcing individuals to immediately deactivate their
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine, or whatever other online social media. Often, even texting and email can lead to
unwarranted skirmishes and increased frustration and drama during divorce
matters. Clients are urged to refrain
from inflammatory texting and emails and should approach their communication
with their soon-to-be ex-spouse in a more business like fashion. Today’s instant access to so many online outlets
greatly increases the likelihood of making a “virtual boo-boo” that can cost
you big time. It is for these reasons
that client’s should heed the advice and shut down, deactivate and otherwise
minimize their online interactions during their divorce proceedings.
