This issue of online safety is just one illustration of how much a divorce can impact a child. If your ex does not agree on your policies, try to use the situation as a learning opportunity to explain more about online issues such as privacy and security to your child. A child of divorce is more vulnerable because of what they are going through. You want to make sure that they feel they can communicate openly with you or they may hide activities that expose them to danger.
Social media and divorce a con
Social media often plays a role in divorce nowadays. Social media platforms may even be a source of evidence in divorce cases. A father claiming to have no money may be proved to be a liar when pictures of his brand new Mercedes show up on his Facebook page.
A mother who swears she doesn’t drink may face photos of her with a drink in hand just days prior to making a statement. A former spouse may go on Facebook and post vitriolic comments about an ex. Posts on social media may even be used as evidence in child custody cases.
