For many people and businesses, staying active on social media is important. While it can keep individuals connected with friends and loved ones, using social media can also help businesses promote their goods or services while engaging with customers (or potentials clients).

Despite the many benefits of social media, however, there can be some downsides to using it – especially for people who are involved in a divorce case.

The Facts about Using Social Media during Your Divorce

Knowing these facts about social media and divorce can help you protect your interests and avoid complications, a Littleton divorce lawyer explains.

What you write/say in social media can affect your divorce case – Need to vent about your ex or the challenges of your divorce? If so, don’t do it online via your social media posts. What you write in social media can be subpoenaed by your ex’s attorney and may be used to against you in your divorce.

For instance, trashing your ex online may be “evidence” that you won’t be able to foster a loving relationship between your child and your ex in the future; in more serious cases, it could be used to try to allege some kind of abuse. So, be very careful about what you say on social media as your divorce proceeds because your postings could cause you to lose ground in your case.

The pictures you post can also affect your divorce – Just as your posted comments can be used against you in divorce, so too can the photos you post. For example, if you post photos of a recent vacation or possibly taking your kids out of state, your ex may be able to use these pictures against you to try to establish that you have hidden assets in divorce or that you are failing to abide by a temporary parenting time agreement.Similarly, if you post pictures of you and a new romantic partner, you could end up igniting the jealousy and resentment in your ex, possibly causing him or her to stop compromising with you (and, in turn, escalating the acrimony in your divorce).

There are steps you can take to protect yourself – This is the silver lining to the above news, as you can do a lot to prevent your social media use from coming back to bite you in divorce. Specifically, you can (and likely should) not post anything about your ex or your ongoing divorce case on social media. Save those comments for face-to-face discussions with people you trust. Also, consider changing the passwords and privacy settings for all of your social media accounts so that your ex has limited (or no) access to them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing!! If your looking and for legal help look no further. Mike Bhar and his lovely assistant Lana are amazing. Prompt, compassionate and really know what they are doing. Our family went through hardships after being ran over while on a motorcycle. The team guided us through the process and truly served us justice when the courts failed to do so. Mike was reassuring and took away the anxiety I had throughout the whole process. We were able to get the help for my injuries that were really needed and help get us back on our feet. We will forever be grateful for the help recieved by Mike and Lana at Littleton Lawyers. The event was traumatic and left a dent in our lives that almost crashed everything we have built. Not sure where we would be without these fantastic people. Saved our family from the worst. If your looking for honesty integrity and people that are passionate about what they do and will do it with confidence call Mike. I'll never call anyone else again for my legal troubles. Wonderful people that are human just like the rest of us. They will fight for you and everything that matters most. ❤️ Thank you guys again! The amount of gratitude I feel for these people simply can't be put into just one small review. Hopefully others that may be facing unfortunate hardships and need the legal help see this and make the call. Just do it!

Michael and Ben possess extensive knowledge of the insurance sector and will not hesitate to inform you if they believe the case lacks merit. Their guidance provided to our shared client during the legal consultation was exceptional. I highly recommend their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael Bahr is absolutely amazing! I was in a head on collision and after talking with several attorneys decided to go with Mike Bahr. I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. He is compassionate, reasonable, and a good lawyer all together. I was able to claim the maximum benefits from both my insurance and the at-fault parties due to the extent of my injuries. When you are in an accident there is a lot of unknowns that add additional stress on top of trying to heal. Mike was able to answer all the questions I had and made sure I was focused on recovery. On top of just being an outstanding person and attorney he also was reasonably priced. Some attorneys are only in it for the money, but Mike Bahr genuinely seems like he wants to help people. He was extremely helpful during one of the most stressful times in my life and for that I couldn’t be more grateful. If you are ever involved in an accident I 100% would recommend reaching out to Mike Bahr.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike and Ben both worked on my case against the seller of my house that did not disclose a mouse infestation. Both of them listened to my case and discussed possible strategies to help me win. They had very little time to prepare (roughly a month) between the mediation and the trial. They were both very sympathetic to what had been an incredibly stressful situation. Because of Ben and Mike's help I ended up winning my case and I am beyond grateful for their help.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This office is so amazing, I want to share my experience about these amazing two people we met, Michael Bahr and Renee Vigil, We reached out to them to get help with fighting for grandparents rights, Due to my Son Passed away and now the ex-daughter in law wants to restrict us from seeing our grandkids. We had hired an other lawyer who was top of the line Lawyer  only to tap out of retainer fee of thousands of dollars to get really nowhere, When I met Michael and Renee I immediately felt the difference of them being  Caring, Compassionate and felt they were not just lawyers but real people who felt my story. These 2 people are really there for you! I would refer them and consider them even only after a couple of visits at first they make you feel so comfortable to talk to. They have certainly have made us a friend of there's for life and don't need to ever! look for attorney else where if I ever need legal advice.
