Divorce Lawyers: Facebook Tops in Online Evidence

I cant stand facebook, people say " Oh its just to stay in touch with my friends!" If they were your good friends they would just email you or call you !
Facebook is just a ego trip for all those sad people who are weak little sheep, who want whatever the person in front orders at starbucks, they believe Fox News and everything they are spoon-fed by society.

The type who rush out and get the Anti Swine flu injection,

Rather then them me I say! If they want to be a sheep' then let them, me ??? I´´m a leader not a believer ! Facebook, HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!

You are so correct on that. Face Book admin is not asking for finger prints. And I know that any one can make up a fake profile and get friends to go along with their fake profile and damaging status.

And just as easy to find your IP address thereby quickly ending your reign of terror.

they can track which computer it came from

You obviously don't have enough friends or family members who give a damn about how you are doing in life. And, the fact that you don't have friends explains all the extra time you have on your hands to be on the phone talking for hours about nothing at all with your mother, who is the only one who pretends to care.

yeah right ^^ because you text and go on facebook automatically means you have "friends" and just cause some one is against it, it means they don't have friends and only talks to their mom. wow, give yourself a pat on the back you idiot... turning your logic around was about as easy as taking candy from a baby. GIVE IT UP FOR JANE DOE EVERYBODY!!!

Facebook is not stupid. Its just another form of communication and many enjoy it. It is a way of networking and connecting with people you usually wouldn't have access to and a way of sharing with friends and family. It doen't have to be for everybody. Why does anyone care what anyone else does? I f people like social networking sites, let them... so many different kinds of people do so you can't just generalize. If its not for you and you prefer the old fashion letter and phone call... then thats good too. To each his own. Why are people so tense and judgemental?

Amen to that statement. I might add...."vulgar, arrogant, and illitterate persons"

And how, pray tell, does one pry into public life. The very definition of public is that it is out there for all to see. It's like the morons who post pictures of themsleves drunk or taking bong hits on Facebook and then act surprised that they don't get hired after a really superficial background check.

If someone is dumb enough to post pictures of themselves doing inappropriate things on the internet, then they are probably too dumb to actually read and remember these helpful articles.

I like how you make a mass generalization of "the media" as if they are a collective, unified group with a single agenda. In truth though, I find it curious that you are offended by a post outlining how when you make private issues public, they can be used against you in a court of law. I'm not sure exactly what about this article you think is supposed to be private. Every example used in this piece is an example of poor judgement by people who chose to make an issue "public." Perhaps, you are offended that people are being made aware of how their legal system interacts with current technology. Perhaps, you are against people being made aware of their rights under their own legal system. I don't know, but it really is startling to hear someone complain about "the media" explaining to citizens about due process and what can and cannot be used against them.

"Evidence" what a funny word to be used by the Associated Press, are they sure they know the meaning? I find it very hard to believe the accuracy of the associate who wrote this article especially when they state "The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers says 81 percent of its members have used or faced evidence plucked from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social networking sites, including You Tube and Linkedin" I'm from Texas and there is no law against adultery, so I'm wondering as large as Texas is, how we only make up 19 percent of The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. With the manipulation of programs like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, you can add or take away anyone in a picture, so I find it hard to believe that these digital pictures would be admissible in any court of law. And shall we approach the idea that anyone can make a fake profile, to be monitored from any computer, including those at local libraries? Illidian Kode, you can't understand mass generalization of the "the media" when you, in trying to defend the Associated Press or the media is a typical example how a false pretense of what is supposed to be the facts get spread. "Explaining to citizen about due process what can and cannot be used against them" ??? First rule of thumb that everyone needs to remember is that not all 50 states share the same laws, especially when it comes to divorce laws or family laws.

Kelly, Texas has both no-fault and fault divorce. Your grounds (or reasons) for wanting a divorce are set out in a document called a Petition for Divorce that you file with your District court in your county. Once the Decree of Divorce is granted (i.e. the judge approves your divorce), you will become an unmarried person again. Appropriate grounds for divorce in Texas are: 1) cruelty; 2) adultery; 3) conviction of a felony (imprisoned for at least 1 year without a pardon); 4) abandonment (for at least 1 year); 5) living apart (without cohabitation for 3 years); and/or 6) confinement in a mental hospital (for at least 3 years). These factors are important as evidence because it is what the judge uses when ruling on the specific terms of a settlement agreement. In other words, adultery is grounds to lose or limit custody of children and property in divorce settlements.

This article does not only help the immoral. It makes people think twice about anything that could possibly be used against them. I don't think the author intends to help criminals and adulterers. I think it was meant as more of a wake up call for social networkers and entertainment.
