For many, social media has become a primary means of connecting with others. In some cases, people use their social media accounts to maintain friendships, share special news and get advice or recommendations from people. Other people use it as a platform for venting frustrations and gossiping.

In some cases, it can and will be used against you during your divorce proceedings. You should speak with your attorney about how to act on social media.
Property division in a divorce can involve a wide range of high-value assets. This includes real estate.
