FACEBOOK and Divorce
Posted By L. Anthony Bompiani, Esquire on Jul 8, 2009 11:05am PDT
Here is an interesting article by Belinda Luscombe of Time Magazine:
Not
long after Patrick told his wife Tammie he wanted a divorce, she posted
an angry, hurt note on "the wall," or public-comments section, of his
Facebook page. Embarrassed that his colleagues, clients, church friends
and family could see evidence of his marital woes, he deleted it and
blocked his wife from seeing his page. A couple of days later, the IT
worker in Florida--who asked that his last name not be used in this
story — found alarmed messages from two Facebook friends in his inbox.
Tammie had used a mutual friend's account to view Patrick's wall and
e-mailed several women he had had exchanges with. He says her e-mails
were borderline defamatory. She says they merely noted that he was
married with children, a fact he had left off his Facebook profile.
Either way: Ouch.
