Facebook cited in a third of all divorce cases

I have previously warned of the dangers of using social media when you are in the throes of a divorce.  However, you should also be careful BEFORE you get to the divorce stage, however rocky your marriage may be.

Research by a Leeds law firm has found that Facebook is now used in over 66% of all divorce cases - whether it is photographs, proof of where people have been (automatic geo-tagging will let your 'friends' know that you were in a certain restaurant, cafe - or hotel) and details of holidays taken and cars bought being used as proof of a certain level of income.

Whilst it might be to your advantage to have Facebook available in a divorce, just make sure that you're not the one that it gets used against.

Be very careful!
