5 Facebook No-No’s for Divorcing Couples
1. Showing Off: Pictures or discussions of new purchases or vacations are fun, but they might color the court’s view of your finances and affect your settlement.
2. Letting it All Hangout: If you’re in a custody battle, your ex’s lawyers would love to present you as the nonnurturing type. Delete all the crazy party photos.
3. Getting Tagged: It’s not just your page you have to worry about. Make sure your friends’ photos of you can’t be used against you either.
4. Venting: Don’t talk smack about the lawyers, the judge and especially your spouse — on your page or anybody else’s. (You think your kids never use a computer?)
5. Cutting Off Everyone at Once: Don’t “defriend” in-laws or your ex’s friends right away. People need time to adjust. Unless it’s really high-conflict. Then go for it.
