Pitfalls of Using Social Media Websites During Divorce
Since the advent of the social media website, many people are sharing their lives on the internet. You can find whole families of people sharing pictures, stories and other things through Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites. Employers have been warning their employees for years about the dangers of representing a company online. Multinational companies have since starting drafting policies outlining how to use these tools of broad communication. CBS Local reports that divorce lawyers are now warning of a downside of using social media during divorce proceedings.
The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers says that 80% of divorce lawyers are seeing information from Facebook being used in divorce proceedings. Social media can provide an accurate timeline for affairs or show past insults and indiscretions. At least that’s what most people assume would be a risk for using Facebook. But e-discovery can be more encompassing than that according to Karen Conti, a law professor at the University of Illinois. She states that another aspect to worry about is “(c)ustody battles. Where you might see a parent smoking pot or something that would have an impact on their ability to be a good parent. Someone has taken a trip or they’re dissipating family money…or they’re doing something that’s not in the best interest of the family.”
