At the beginning of any divorce or custody matter, I talk to my clients about appropriate use of social media (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.). While I don’t necessarily recommend completely shutting down all of your social media pages, I DO recommend that you withhold from writing any posts on your own page and writing comments on other people’s pages. Reason being, I have seen social media used against parties far too often in the emotional and contentious divorce and custody world. Whether your post was a joke, lighthearted, or a mistake, it might be used against you.
