How Social Media Can Impact Your Divorce Case

Posted By Stepniak & Park || 15-Feb-2018

Social media has changed the way we communicate and share information with each other. Various platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, enables us to learn more about the people you associate with and the world around you.

However, this can be a problem when it comes to divorce. What we do on social media can be used as evidence in disputes involving alimony, child custody, child support, property division, and more.

The following are several types of posts you should avoid during divorce proceedings:

  • Posts about expensive purchases – One the main issues regarding divorce is money. If you are dealing with any financial disputes (e.g. child custody, alimony, property division), you should avoid posting anything about purchases you made or presents you received. In addition, do not post about vacations or any other forms of extravagant spending. Claiming a large number of assets while posting status updates talking about shopping sprees and a new convertible can make you seem frivolous.
  • Posts about partying – Posting about how intoxicated you were makes you appear like an irresponsible spouse, at least in the judge’s eyes. If you were supposed to be caring for your children but went out partying instead, you could end up on the wrong end of child custody negotiations. Avoid posting any kind of information that could make it seems as though you engage in this type of behavior.
  • Posts about the person you’re dating – Although you and your ex agreed that it is fine to see other people, posting pictures of him or her on social media is still considered troublesome. The judge could determine that you’ve had an extramarital affair according to the pictures, which can cause severe harm to your divorce case.
  • Posts about legal matters – People use social media to vent their frustrations. However, avoid venting about anything related to your divorce on social media. If you need to talk about your divorce, turn to a friend or a family member, especially if they had experienced divorce as well.
  • Posts from peers – Lastly, you must be wary of what your social media connections post about you on their profiles. Just because you didn’t post something on your own profile doesn’t mean it cannot be connected to you.
