In recent years, divorce attorneys have noticed an increasing link between divorce cases and social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace, and others. Because many social networking sites provide a public record of an individual's actions and affiliations, divorce filings that claim infidelity based on evidence found on the internet.

Divorce attorneys claim that many divorce cases have ended in settlement once evidence from Facebook and Myspace are introduced in the courtroom. In some cases, divorce law firms have found that nearly 20% of their recent divorce petitions cited Facebook in the decree.
