Tips for Using Social Media During Your Divorce

One of the most common pieces of advice attorneys give to divorce law clients is to deactivate social media profiles while going through the divorce process. Of course, not everyone is willing to entirely give up their social media accounts, especially if they use them for keeping in touch with family or close friends.

There are, however, some minimal steps you should take to reduce or monitor your usage to avoid getting yourself into trouble. Here are a few examples of some of the usage strategies you should implement with your social media pages during the divorce process.

  • Photos: You can continue to post photos if you wish, just be careful what you post about. Never share anything with new significant others. Avoid posting photos of expensive purchases or vacations, or photos of you out partying. All of these types of photos could hurt you in your divorce.
  • Posting about your ex: Never post anything at all about your ex. You do not need to acknowledge your divorce or your spouse on social media. It’s understandable to want to vent your frustrations, but you should do this offline with a therapist or a trusted friend.
  • Posting about your case: Just as you should not post anything about your spouse, you should also not post anything about your case. No details of the case at all. It’s easy for these postings to get taken out of context, and there’s always a possibility that something you post could come back to haunt you in the divorce process.

  • "I first came to Ms. Jacquelyn Lutz of Appelhof, Pfeifer and Hart in October of 2016. It was definitely the worst time in my life and she compassionately spoke with me about my options. Ms. Lutz thoroughly explained the laws, statutes, process and what to expect going forward. What was supposed to be one case, turned into three intricate cases that took a huge toll on me and my family. Ms. Lutz represented me in court on all three cases with a vast knowledge of the laws and how to proceed accordingly. During all three cases she kept me informed, calm, gave me resources to utilize, and (most important) gave me a realistic view of what may come next. Ms. Lutz knew each case required a great deal of knowledge and creative thinking on how to legally proceed forward with each case. My family and friends are forever grateful for the amazing representation by Ms. Lutz. I highly recommend Ms. Lutz for anyone needing or considering superb representation for any kind of family law. " - M.H.
