What NOT to Do on Social Media During a Divorce – Straight Talk with Jill Spielberg
Valentine’s Week is all about love, but let’s be real, love doesn’t always go as planned. And when it doesn’t, social media can make things way worse (like Exhibit A in court worse).
That’s why I brought in Jill Spielberg, partner in charge of the Family and Matrimonial Law Department at Abrams-Fensterman LLP, to drop some major truth bombs about social media and divorce—what not to do, what could cost you in court, and even how to protect your kids.
Biggest Takeaway? STOP POSTING!
According to Jill, the best thing you can do during a divorce is take a social media hiatus. That vacation selfie? That vent session about your soon-to-be-ex? That new relationship post? All of it can be used against you. Even “friends” might not be real friends when emotions run high.
A few ways social media can totally backfire:
*Posting about your amazing new life while claiming you can’t afford child support
*Sharing party pics that could be used in a custody battle
*Saying anything negative about your ex—your kids might see it, too!
