More on Social Networking and Divorce cases
Ben Stevens over at the South Carolina Family Law Blog wrote recently about using social networking sites in a divorce case. VIew his post here. As Ben correctly points out:
"In many cases, people simply don’t think about the potential consequences of publishing such personal information online, and they never consider that it may later be used against them in Court. In Family Court cases, one’s personal conduct is always a pertinent issue, and a litigant can really damage his/her case by making statements about marital infidelity, substance abuse, or admissions of other types of questionable conduct."
The simple rule is that, if you publish personal information on-line, assume that the other side will be able to find any and all such information, and use it against you in a divorce case.
