If you are married, you may wish to pause and consider how you
behave on Facebook and other social media outlets. Why? Because as
much as one-third of divorce filings in 2011 included the word "Facebook" within
them, according to a report by ABCNews.com. And the numbers may
be even higher a few years later.
On top of that, the article states that more than 80 percent of
divorce attorneys report that social networking behavior is finding
its way into divorce proceedings.
Facebook and other social media posts can be used to insinuate
bad parenting, depending on the behavior displayed. They also can
be referred to in an effort to suggest infidelity.
At times, Facebook and other social behavior is the last straw
that breaks the camel's back in a marriage, according to the
article. While one partner may have been enduring an unhappy
marriage to a point, once the outrageous online behavior of the
other partner is uncovered, the marriage crumbles.
