Examples of how Facebook can ruin or help your case

When you post anything on your Facebook account, you automatically assume the risk that whatever you post may be used against you. And this goes beyond your public photos and postings on your timeline, as private messages and the photos or videos you share via private messaging are also considered “discoverable” in family court in Salt Lake City and elsewhere in Utah. Therefore, if you are currently going through a family court battle, our Salt Lake City family law attorney advises you to deactivate your Facebook account until your case has been resolved and finalized, or at least discipline yourself to not share or write on your Facebook anything that could discredit, invalidate or ruin your case.
