How Social Networking Can Affect Divorce
Social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter have enjoyed a huge surge in popularity in recent years. They allow long-lost friends to make contact as well as let faraway friends stay in touch. However, social networking also allows divorce attorneys to collect evidence for their clients’ divorce cases.
If you are facing a divorce, you need an attorney who is prepared to use the necessary evidence in order to help your case. You may also need an attorney who can defend you against accusations from your former spouse. Either way, the experienced divorce attorneys at the Marshall & Taylor Law Firm, P.C., are ready to help you. Contact a Raleigh divorce lawyer from Marshall & Taylor, P.C. today at 919-833-1040.
Social Networking as Evidence
It may seem like social networking sites should be off-limits in a court of law. However, many courts are now allowing information from social networks into the court. In fact, in one survey, 81% of divorce lawyers polled stated that they had seen an increase in the use of social network information as evidence. Types of evidence from social networks include:
- “Wall” postings
- Private messages
- Status updates
- Pictures
- “Tweets” on Twitter
If you believe that social networking can play an important role in your divorce case, whether it is for you or against you, you should talk to a knowledgeable Raleigh divorce lawyer immediately.
