________________________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n More than a third of divorce filings last year contained the word Facebook, according to a U.K. survey by Divorce Online<\/a>, a \u00a0legal services firm. And over 80% of U.S. divorce attorneys say they\u2019ve seen a rise in the number of cases using social networking, according to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. \u201cI see Facebook issues breaking up marriages all the time,\u201d says Gary Traystman, a divorce attorney in New London, Conn. Of the 15 cases he handles per year where computer history, texts and emails are admitted as evidence, 60% exclusively involve Facebook.<\/p>\n \u201cAffairs happen with a lightning speed on Facebook,\u201d says K. Jason Krafsky, who authored the book \u201cFacebook and Your Marriage<\/a>\u201d with his wife Kelli. In the real world, he says, office romances and out-of-town trysts can take months or even years to develop. \u201cOn Facebook,\u201d he says, \u201cthey happen in just a few clicks.\u201d The social network is different from most social networks or dating sites in that it both re-connects old flames and allows people to \u201cfriend\u201d someone they may only met once in passing. \u201cIt puts temptation in the path of people who would never in a million years risk having an affair,\u201d he says. Facebook declined to comment.<\/p>\n Even when extra-marital affairs develop with no help from Facebook, experts say the site provides a deceptively comfortable forum for people to let off steam about their lives and inadvertently arouse the suspicions of spouses. \u201cThe difference with Facebook is it feels safe, innocent and private,\u201d says Randy Kessler, an Atlanta, Ga.-based lawyer and current chair of the family law section of the American Bar Association. (See Facebook and Divorce Discussed in WSJ<\/a>.) \u201cPeople put an enormous amount of incriminating stuff out there voluntarily.\u201d It could be something as innocuous as a check-in at a restaurant, he says, or a photograph posted online.<\/p>\n By Quentin Fottrell – Read More: http:\/\/blogs.smartmoney.com\/advice\/2012\/05\/21\/does-facebook-wreck-marriages\/<\/a><\/p>\n Also See:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ~\u2020~<\/p>\n Posted by Donna Calvin \u2014 Tuesday, May 22, 2012<\/p>\n ~\u2020~<\/p>\n Please share this Watchwoman post on your Facebook page, Linkedin, Google+1, Twitter to all your friends, Please click \u201cLike\u201d, Share, and Leave Comments.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Visit Word Warriorette, a free Yahoo Group, and subscribe to be notified (one email a day) of new posts on Watchwoman.<\/strong> ~\u2020~<\/p>\n ~\u2020~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Does Facebook Wreck Marriages? ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg changed his status to \u201cmarried\u201d Saturday and received over one million \u201clikes\u201d from his followers.

<\/a>When couples do end up in divorce court, lawyers say Facebook posts are used to determine alimony and child custody. Last year, a superior district court judge in Connecticut ordered a divorcing couple to hand over the passwords<\/a> of their respective Facebook to the other\u2019s lawyers. Kessler says it\u2019s an extremely useful vehicle to gather evidence. \u201cIt helps me cross-examine a witness,\u201d he says. Any pattern of behavior that\u2019s recorded on Facebook relating to parenting skills, excessive partying or even disparaging remarks about a spouse that violates a court order could be admissible in court. Of course, it\u2019s not Facebook\u2019s fault it\u2019s being dragged through divorce court, he says, \u201cIt\u2019s the people who use it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
