While you don’t need to stay off social media entirely, you should know that anything you post, including comments on posts made by others, is subject to consideration by the court in your divorce proceedings. Both the images and words that you post on social media sites may be factors in decisions regarding child custody or support, spousal support, and even the division of your assets and debts.
Our best advice is that you exercise extreme caution, refraining even from commenting at all about your impending divorce or about your spouse. If you worry that you’ll say or post something that can harm the outcome of your divorce for you or your children, it is probably best to simply avoid any interactions with, or posting on, social media for the full term of your divorce process. Even after your divorce is finalized, you may find that what you post could impact future modifications to your child custody or support agreements or your spousal support arrangement. We advise that you err on the side of caution.
