Your Social Networking Profile Could Land You Back in Tennessee Divorce Court

Social networking profiles are an overlooked matter in divorce cases until they become evidence that could harm your position. Any photos, status updates or location check-ins you make public can affect you in ways you may not have considered.

An example of when social networking can result in a return to divorce court is if one spouse claims disability and demands higher alimony payments in a divorce settlement. If you claim that you cannot make full alimony payments because you are unable to work due to a back injury, you must make sure that this is a valid reason.

If you post photos on Facebook of yourself dancing and your ex-wife sees those, she may be able to bring this to court as evidence that you are not only capable of working but also capable of making your full alimony payments.

Even if you remove your ex-wife as a friend on Facebook, you may still have mutual friends who can share your photos. There’s no guarantee that anything you post to the Internet is private.

The best rule of thumb is to avoid posting anything to the Internet and social networking profiles that could affect your child custody agreement support obligations. It could potentially land you back in divorce court.
