Facebook and Divorce
Great article, but here is the bottom-line:
Five no-nos divorcing couples
1. Showing Off -- Pics and bragging are not only in bad taste, but they are also show poor judgment -- especially when your spouse's divorce lawyer gets wind of it.
2. Letting It All Hang Out -- Take down the crazy party pics. Holding up a Margarita when you have droopy eyes doesn't exactly scream "responsible parent."
3. Getting Tagged -- Tagging means someone identifies you in a photo. The photo will appear in your profile. Check often because you may be in a most unflattering pose.
4. Venting -- Don't talk smack about people who can influence your future: the judges, the lawyers, and especially your spouse. They may not be as forgiving when you haven't demonstrated that quality. And, by the way, never talk badly about your spouse in front of your children. It's abusive to put the children in the middle of your venomous games.
5. Cutting Off Everyone at Once -- Don't "defriend" in-laws or your ex's friends. People need time to adjust. Let them linger for 3-6 months, then go for it. But if they are making offensive posts or sending nasty messages -- have at it.
