It’s very rare nowadays for someone not to have a social media presence, whether it’s on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook. What many people don’t realize is that by using these sites inappropriately, they may be creating evidence that can be used against them in their Virginia divorce or child custody proceedings.
For example, your Facebook profile contains records of who you associate with, the types of messages you send, and the relationships you maintain. It can also be a place where people post pictures or other information about you that could be viewed unfavorably in your family law case.
It’s very important to consult with your family law attorney at the beginning of your case and discuss what is contained in your social media profiles to determine whether that will strengthen or weaken your case.
