This includes posting on social media about disputes involving your former partner, even if your network doesn’t name them. ‘Don’t be tempted to join estranged parents pages.’ Law expert Jodylee Bartal. In a 2013 decision, a Federal Magistrate Judge described parental conflict between a former couple as “a form of tribal warfare” and said the father and his family “had been engaged in a relentless war with the mother for years.” The father faced potential criminal penalties for his Facebook posts. “An unhappily growing feature of modern cases, particularly but not exclusively within family law, is the use of social media,” the Magistrate said. “Social media can be used for good, but it is frequently used by one or both parties as a weapon. It is a veritable Aladdin’s cave, where parties (and their lawyers) search easily and regularly for (not always incriminating) ‘proof’ to use in their cases. As a weapon in litigation, it is particularly insidious in character.” Liking or Sharing a post. Bartal says that her former partner acted for a woman who liked and shared a “humorous” meme online titled how to kill your wife. This was particularly sinister because the woman had an Apprehended Violence Order in NSW, known as an AVO, against her former lover. The woman reported this post as a breach of the order. The post was also used as evidence in a dispute over property division for the reason that the court can consider the impact of family violence on a partner’s capacity to contribute to the joint asset pool and their future needs. Bartal advises separating parents: ‘Don’t post abusive comments and ‘vent’ online.’ ‘Do not ‘like’, post ‘memes’ or ‘like’ negative comments made by others.’ “Some content can cause damage by association even if the client does not post it themselves,” Bartal said. Purchase related post. In property and financial disputes, Bartal says posts on social media such as, “expensive holidays and purchases…can be used in maintenance proceedings to demonstrate a capacity to pay or to justify a reduction in support.” Hayder Shakra, Director of Justice Family Lawyers, says social media posts “have long been used as evidence in family law disputes.” “I regularly see Facebook posts, Snapchat videos, WhatsApp messages and photos, Instagram stories and even comments that have been part of court records,” he said. “In a property dispute, a party may take a picture of themselves with a new car, resulting in inquiries about the source of funds for the car purchase, increasing the asset pool, which means more money for the other party,” Shakra says. He says his advice is simple. “Before you post it, assume a judge will read it one day in court.” “Never post about your case, the court or your former partner,” he said. He said Australia’s upcoming ban on social media use for children under 16 was an area to watch. He says: “Debate has started among separated parents regarding banning children under 16 from social media. There are concerns as to how parents will enforce such a ban, especially when separated families hold opposing views on social media.” “I anticipate that will be a major issue as the authenticity of photos and videos hasn’t really been an issue before.” Security risks. Bartal says digital security and privacy are also important considerations in domestic violence situations. “If a client is considering or planning a separation and there has been domestic violence, I might advise that they check the location sharing settings on their phones, iPads, and laptops, and to look at turning this feature off,” he said. Because your old ID “allows you to see and access your text messages, phone calls and voicemails on multiple devices.” “It is also vital (and important) to make sure that you have logged out of your email and social media accounts and changed your passwords every time,” he said. “If you’re concerned, you can set up a completely new email address to communicate with your attorney.” For social media accounts like Facebook, Bartal says clients can “limit who can see their posts and change their privacy settings” and “advises against friending new people, especially those who say “we just tag you in posts, we don’t partner with you.” Start your day with a round-up of the most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.
