1. Letting emotions cloud your judgment<\/b><\/h3>\n

With all of the stress that comes with divorce difficulties, it will be hard to make good decisions. Anger at your ex and the fear of what comes next can make choices that you later regret. <\/span><\/p>\n

There are many ways that social media can be a trap to exaggerate your divorce difficulties, particularly during an emotional time such as a divorce. <\/span><\/p>\n

They may even use it as a means to purposely hurt you, in which case you should show the posts or messages to your attorney.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another good reason to temporarily shut down your accounts is that even what your friends post and tag you in could be brought against you.<\/b> If you leave them active, be active in monitoring them. Also, make sure that anything that your friends tag you in can’t be used against you.<\/span><\/p>\n
