Social Media and Divorce

Social media wasn’t intended to be a tool for divorce, but it does make some cases easier to prove when it comes to infidelity and other issues in the marriage. One viral sensation is going viral for a whole other reason.

Several years ago, everyone was introduced to the mug shot of a convict who also happened to be married. Once he was released from prison in 2016, he was able to get a job in the fashion world as a model, thanks to his social media popularity previously.

He’s been a law-abiding citizen since, but was busted with photos that his girlfriend posted of them on social media. Someone showed them to his wife, and it was over. She was hurt, and done. They discussed whether they could continue their marriage, and it was determined that their marriage was effectively due to his infidelity.

The couple had been married for eight years, and were raising several children. She had two children from a previous marriage that looked at her husband as their father, and they also have one child together. The hardest question she had for the interview was how was she going to let her kids know about what was happening with the marriage.

Divorce can be a hard topic to tackle, and with older kids in the mix, it can get even more complicated. One of the best ways to protect yourself if you find out that your spouse is cheating on you is to speak with an experienced divorce lawyer.
