Divorce in the Age of Social Media

Social media is incredibly useful in remaining connected to the people in someone’s life. However, as people share on the various platforms, social media can also become a double-edged sword as the things shared online may be used in a court of law. Depending on what’s being shared, the consequences may lead to unfavorable decisions made by a judge during a divorce settlement.

 

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/08/2020 -- Finance remains a big part of any divorce. For those that may like to share posts regarding their income or some luxury item like a car that was recently purchased, a judge might interpret them in a way that suggests that there are assets not being disclosed and the person isn't being entirely truthful regarding their financial situation.

Disputes over child custody can be complicated and can include intense emotions. Sharing posts disparaging the other parent may be construed negatively. Sharing photos that may paint a not so positive image when it comes to parenting skills may also negatively affect custody agreements.

During a marriage, there are bound to be lots of relationships established between friends, family, and acquaintances of both spouses. Although a person may have blocked their soon to be former spouse on social media, there is always a possibility mutual friends could be watching what's being shared and sharing that information with the other spouse.
