10 Tips for Using Social Media During a Divorce Case in Dallas

Social media is a great way to communicate and stay in touch with others. But it can also serve as a source of encouragement and support when you are going through a divorce in Dallas.

However, you should be cautious when using social media during a divorce. Your ex’s attorney may look for things that could be used against you.

The following are 10 tips for using social media during a divorce case: 

• temporarily deactivate your accounts or at least limit time spent on them; 
• change your privacy settings so that only family and friends can see what is posted; 
• always assume your ex can see or read what you post no matter your settings; 
• do not say negative things about the other parent, especially if your children can see what you post; 
• go through your pictures/videos and delete any that could be used against you; 
• think before you post a tweet/status update or comment on others; 
• be careful of any photos or posts that others tag you in; 
• make sure your children have appropriate privacy settings on their social media accounts; 
• talk to your child about what they post so nothing can be used against you; and
• never use social media as a way to vent.

Taking precautions and being smart about your use of social media can prevent further problems down the road.
