How Social Media, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Geotagging Can Undermine Your Divorce

Family law lawyers these days tell clients to reflect before they post on social media networking sites before, during and after a divorce.

The digital lifestyle can have negative consequences and one of which is this: You can sabotage your own divorce case if you aren’t careful about posting on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and even the up-and-coming iPhone app, Instagram.

These “snapshots” into the life of your soon-to-be ex spouse have exposed extramarital affairs and outright lies that can affect everything from spousal support (alimony) to the time your allowed to spend with your children.
