Social Media and Family Law – do’s and don’ts

FREECALL NOW >

“Anything you say or do on Facebook can and will be used against you in Family Court”

 

Facebook posts and other social media posts often turn up in affidavits relating to family law matters, often to the detriment of the poster. We recommend that you don’t post anything on Facebook relating to your separation.

 

In the period post separation or times of dispute with your ex, we recommend you exercise caution with all your posts. Even though you may have unfriended your former spouse you are still likely to have common friends, you may even think a friend is “your” friend and they are safe to see your private posts but they are providing information and access to your page to your former spouse.

 

Remember your social media history, is that night out with your friends a few years ago going to come back to haunt you? Sometimes a social media hiatus may be a solution, closing down all access to your page for a while.

 

Also remember the kids may also see what you are posting. Think about the effect on them of reading negative posts about the other parent.

 

Don’t leave a digital trail…..
