Social media is a big part of our lives, but it can also play a major role in your divorce. If you are going through a divorce, especially one with custody issues or accusations of cheating, what you post online could have an impact.
Custody Issues
The court focuses on what’s best for your child when deciding custody. If you post things on social media that show risky behavior, such as partying, drinking, or not being responsible, it could be used against you in court. Even posts that seem innocent, like checking in at a bar, could make the court question your ability to care for your child.
Cheating Allegations
Social media is often used to find proof of cheating. Photos, messages, or posts about your personal life can be used to support claims of infidelity. Even if you do not directly talk about cheating online, things you post could still be seen as evidence.
What You Should Do
- Be Careful
Try not to post personal details, especially about your spouse or children. Think twice about what you share online.
- Check Privacy Settings
Limit who can see your posts by adjusting your privacy settings, but remember, anything posted online could still be used in court.
- Avoid Public Arguments
Don’t air your dirty laundry online. Public fights can make things worse and hurt your case.
