If you and your spouse recently decided to end your marriage, you may be experiencing a significant upheaval in all areas of your life. Divorce can bring on many changes, and one thing you need to be mindful of is how you use social media as you go through the divorce process.

Tips from a Divorce Lawyer: How to Manage Social Media During Your Divorce

As a divorce lawyer, we have seen many of our clients effectively handle social media during divorce, and we have also had some who have not handled it as well. Here are some of the top guidelines we can give you for using social media as you go through the divorce process:

  • When you go on social media, do not post about the divorce process. You should refrain from sharing anything having to do with the details of your case, keeping things as private as possible.
  • Once you and your spouse decide to end your marriage, review and tighten your privacy settings to control who can see your posts and your personal information.
  • Although it can be tempting to vent online to a larger audience, refrain from criticizing your ex or airing your grievances about them online. This can escalate tensions and even impact legal proceedings.
  • When you post photos on social media, think twice and avoid posting any pictures that could be misinterpreted or used against you in court.
