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...

DO YOU NEED TEMPORARY SUPPORT? YES!!!!

It is possible.......that a client may fail to request temporary            spousal support "unknowingly"......  and in so doing, because an "agreement" or stipulation was entered as to permanent support , and there was no motion to the court asking for temporary support-- there was no date to which a trial court could make the permanent support order retroactive in accordance with Family Code Section 4333. Family Code section 4333 controls the permissible date on which a permanent spousal support order may begin. In contrast, an order for temporary spousal may, at the court's discretion, be made retroactive to the date on which the petition for dissolution was filed, or in some cases, on the date that the request for order was filed.   [Under FC4009, an original order for child support may generally be made retroactive to the date of filing the petition, complaint, or other initial pleading] Basically, without a filed separate request...
