Did Facebook Help Ruin Your Marriage?

It is a sad fact that today, many people put their personal life and  private business online--and much of it is on Facebook.  Amazingly, many people do not really understand how Facebook is linked to everything--- and we mean EVERYTHING.  There is not much privacy left these days, despite online sites telling us there are rules for privacy.



If you're getting divorced, considering divorce, or have a plan to leave your spouse, you can almost be sure that if the spouse you are leaving is addicted to Facebook or similar sites, he/she will be talking about you.  This means Facebook is where attorneys look for dirt on the cases we see. Why?  Because many people lie to the spouse but go on Facebook and tell a completely different story?
This is actually quite common.



This means basically--that if YOU have been posting on Facebook and then tell the Court a different story--- you will probably be wrecking your own case, especially if you have talked about drunken episodes, partying and drugs, and anything illegal of course. Medical marijuana is not illegal if you have the script, but if you gave the MJ to your kids, that could become problematic?

We think in today's gadget world-- people are simply over-wired, over connected, and persuaded to keep buying gadgets....then the kids want the gadget toys, and the trouble starts. Kids start defaming each other, get their parents involved, and next thing we see is a parent assaulting another child's mother?  If this seems far fetched, it's not, since that case is currently pending in court. Parents should control their kids, but instead, we have seen parents that tell their kids to fight other kids.

You Don't Have Rights if You Don't Know What They Are?

Not surprisingly, many clients believe what their friends tell them and what they see on TV and Facebook.  Unfortunately, it's best to actually know at least some of the law that governs the type of issue you have. If you had a complicated separate property issue, compounded by numerous transactions that may or may not create further problems, you would likely have no idea how those issues would be handled. Or if you have side businesses which add to your employment income, and you don't want to pay high spousal, well-- you're going to need a plan well in advance!  Unfortunately, a client may just want to agree to shared visitation where one spouse never pays anything but the other spouse then has to pay increased support because there is not any child support offset?  A typical client isn't going to know these things. Or, if you had a part time business that you owned years before you met your spouse, and then he started siphoning money out of the business wit...

Why Pay to "Settle" Cases When You can Win??

Remarkably, some attorneys are in the business of charging fees to "settle" cases when you could have done that yourself....often they call this "mediation" of cases, and we don't mean mediation as to child custody.  We mean mediation-- of  all issues. PITFALLS OF MEDIATION.....Y OU ARE NOT REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL AND YOU  DON'T KNOW YOUR RIGHTS !! This attorney's past experience with such cases usually means that one client forces the other to cave in, while the client who caves in doesn't even realize that he or she caved in when it was not necessary.  OR-- one party knowingly concedes a major issue, without realizing just how major the issue is (because he/she has no attorney representing him/her) -- and then loses his/her ass, because he/she thought they were "saving money" when that was not the case. For example, attorney has seen this done where one client who was earning $85k a year gross, vs the other party was earning ...
