What are the affects of Facebook on divorce in Utah? What you post on Facebook can hurt your divorce especially if it involves children and custody. There are some things you should remember when you are going through a divorce and the use and enjoyment of Facebook.
- People that you think that would not look at your Facebook will. Remember that what you post on Facebook can pretty much be read by anyone. Post cautiously. Maybe even take a break from Facebook while going through your child custody battle and divorce.
- Even if your Facebook is locked it does not mean that your spouse does not have friends that are feeding them information that can access your information. Once again, it might not be a bad thing to take a break from Facebook.
- Do not post pictures of you and your children with your new significant other. The Courts do not like to see that you are introducing your children to third parties that are not their parents.
- If you drink, do not get on Facebook late at night. Sometimes you can post things that you are going to regret.
- The opposing attorney can use what you put on Facebook in court. If your divorce gets to the trial stage be ready to have your life put in front of a judge. Remember the other attorney can get this information through a subpoena.
- People and attorneys use Facebook as a personal detective. Be careful.
