Avoid social media during your divorce proceedings

On Behalf of | Jan 30, 2025 | Divorce, Family Law

For many people, the internet is a place where they go to vent and express their views. It is also something that allows people to have video calls with family members who live all across the world.

First of all, anything you post online can (and probably will if it’s “one of those cases”) be used against you in a court of law… so start by accepting that anything you do online can be easily exposed.

Statements and posts

Resist the temptation to post and make statements. Whether positive or negative, they will definitely not help your case. Remember that anything you say now can also be misinterpreted.

Unnecessary drama

Social media can create unnecessary drama very quickly, and friends and family who find out that you are divorcing will probably feel compelled to weigh in on your situation, leading to added stress and conflict.

Reflection time

Finally, taking a break from social media allows you to focus on self-care and reflection during this challenging time. Instead of scrolling through feeds, make an intentional effort to limit how much time you spend online, by taking a much-needed break.
