Using social media during divorce.

The use of social media during a divorce can significantly impact legal proceedings. It is important to remember that social media posts, messages, photos, and interactions can serve as evidence in a divorce. They can be used to demonstrate purchases, holidays, new relationships, or changes in a person’s employment or financial situation.

The best practice during a divorce is to stop or significantly reduce social media activities until after the divorce is settled.

You should always assume that everything that is posted by you, can and will be seen by your ex-spouse and their lawyer. If use of social media is absolutely necessary, carefully consider how posts or photos could be interpreted or use as evidence before posting.
