Don't Share Your Las Vegas Divorce on Social Media

Thinking of tweeting what an ass your soon to be ex is? Think again! 

Whenever we sign in to social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn, we can easily come across several forums dedicated to those that have just gone through a divorce. The idea of these forums is to give advice, help and emotional support to those that have just gone through the trauma of splitting up with their spouse and are going through the motions of a divorce.

However, our strong advice is that you must not share your Las Vegas divorce on any social media. When you go through a divorce there will undoubtedly be a number of legal avenues that you and your ex-spouse must deal with. Issues such as what assets will be deemed as community property, how much pension has to be shared. Even if you are the breadwinner in a marriage situation, half of what you own in property will be usually given to your spouse in the eyes of Las Vegas legal law.

  

Entering details on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter is not recommended as there could always be legal repercussions for you when you get in front of the judge. The internet and social media are still relatively new to all of us and it still surprises us to learn that just a decade ago, very few people used social media to engage with friends or members. We have become so accustomed in such a short amount of time to live our lives through social media so it goes to say, when you are engaged in a bitter divorce, it is easy to lash out that very second and try to show your friends how badly you are being treated to get instant gratification that you are justified.

Most of are aware of the rules and policies of Facebook and Twitter and for the most part if you don't follow those policies you could be banned by either social media platform.  Most Facebook Friends and Twitter Followers will sympathize with your struggle but really don't appreciate being bombarded with snippy hate comments.  Many don't know how to react yet feel they need to support. But in the eyes of the Las Vegas divorce laws, any tweets of Facebook comments you put online can come back and prove to be detrimental in your fight to gain assets from your failed marriage.

  

What you can and cannot put on social media is very unclear but a good lawyer will find a way to hold any comments you make online at social media sites against you. Whilst it is probably OK to announce to your friends and family that you are now going through a divorce, any further details about your divorce should be left within the four walls of your solicitors offices and your very close friends and family members.

  

Put simply, it just isn’t worth going through the public web feeds of Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and Twitter to give any details regarding your Las Vegas divorce.
