November 03, 2012 (Press-News.org) Social Media and Divorce
Along with social media comes many positives and negatives. Facebook and Twitter provide great ways to stay in touch with loved ones and transmit information in a quick and efficient way. Recently however, social media is having a larger role in divorce proceedings in the United States, and often, the consequences of using social media in this setting are not positive.
How Social Media Can Affect a Divorce Case
The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers reports that social media postings are increasingly being used in divorce proceedings. Posts on Facebook may be used for various reasons while a couple is facing divorce. One of these reasons may be to verify what the other party is saying or to bring up information they posted as a tool in the divorce proceedings.
For example, negative posts about one's children or the responsibilities of raising kids may be used as evidence that a parent may not be the best custody provider for the children. Pictures shared of lavish vacations or expensive new cars also may contradict a spouse's claim that he or she cannot afford to make child support or spousal maintenance payments.
Avoiding Pitfalls
The best way to avoid pitfalls with social media and divorce is to keep divorce out of social media postings. When posting on Facebook or Twitter, spouses should bear in mind that these posts may be shared in the courtroom with the judge who is ultimately deciding their divorce case.
If you are thinking about divorce, contact a knowledgeable divorce attorney for more information. A divorce lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and advocate on your behalf for the best possible resolution.

Beware of Hidden Assets in Divorce
Couples going through a divorce in Texas must usually undergo a thorough lifestyle analysis to determine the couple's marital property and what an individual's budget may look like after the divorce. An accurate inventory of all the assets is an essential part of the analysis and is vital to achieving a fair division of property in a Texas divorce.
Unfortunately, some spouses try to cheat by hiding assets, then reclaiming them some time after the property division is finalized, ending up with an unfair share of the marital property. ...
Brake Safety Week Targets Large Truck Operators

Brake Safety Week Targets Large Truck Operators
West Virginia motorists may not find it surprising that large commercial vehicles are harder to stop than passenger cars. At its best, the braking system on a tractor-trailer needs twice as much distance to bring the vehicle to a stop, compared to the braking performance of smaller vehicles. If road conditions are not ideal or brakes are poorly maintained, the stopping distance for large trucks can be even greater.
Recognizing that brake systems in good working order can help prevent dangerous trucking accidents, the ...

New Jersey's Alimony Laws Under the Microscope
New Jersey's alimony laws are getting a lot of attention lately, as two widely disparate groups -- those in favor of dramatically revamping the state's "antiquated" laws governing alimony awards and those who feel that the current system is both fair and impartial -- plead their case to the public and lawmakers alike.
New Jersey's legislature is taking the debate about alimony seriously. The state's General Assembly unanimously passed a bill that would authorize the creation of an impartial committee that would ...
Massachusetts Drug Lab Shutdown Puts Convictions in Question

Massachusetts Drug Lab Shutdown Puts Convictions in Question
When a person is prosecuted for a drug crime in Massachusetts, the evidence is sent to a state laboratory where scientists run tests to prove that the substance in question is, in fact, an illegal drug. In most instances, the results of these tests end up being a major part of the prosecution's case. Without them, it becomes very difficult to prove the defendant was guilty of selling or possessing illegal drugs.
Sadly, it appears that an untold number of Massachusetts criminal defendants may have been subject ...
