However, it’s important to remember that the things you post on social media while going through a divorce can negatively impact your future in many ways.
We want to explain a few tips to help ensure that the things you post online don’t harm your divorce.
DO: Think Before You Post
While there are things that you should avoid posting about while going through a divorce, you do not have to abstain from using social media completely.
Before posting, we urge you to:
- Think about who will see your post
- Avoid sharing too much information (especially negative feelings about your ex)
The things you say online can be used against you in court, so be sure to post responsibly.
DON’T: Brag or Talk Negatively About Your Ex-Spouse
While going through a divorce, your finances should be one of your top priorities. Boasting or bragging on social media can have a serious impact on how finances are divided. Additionally, it’s important to remember not to talk negatively about your ex-spouse, as it will make the relationship rockier, which will only cause additional troubles.
DON’T: Assume Setting Your Profile to Private Is Enough
Social media has many privacy settings that help limit who is able to see your posts. However, this doesn’t stop a judge from gaining permission to see your profile if it is brought up by your ex.
