These days social media can feel like a lifeline as a space to share, connect, or cope with the everyday ups and downs that life brings! But, what you post online can have lasting consequences offline especially during your divorce.   In this episode,  Grown Girl Divorce podcast host, Kimberly A. Cook, Esq. provides helpful reminders of the social media mistakes to avoid during divorce. 

Whether your case is amicable or high-conflict, your online behavior can directly impact outcomes related to custody, credibility, and communication. Kimberly discuss the five things to keep in mind when using social media during your divorce: 

1. 
   

   Social media is not your diary.

   
   


2. 
   

   Perception is reality (especially during a divorce).

   
   


3. 
   

   Protect your privacy and your children's.

   
   


4. 
   

   Social media can (and will) be used as evidence.

   
   


5. 
   

   Be mindful of your online behavior and digital safety.

   
   

Social media is a great way to stay connected with family and friends both near and far. Yet, be mindful that your actions online can impact your reality offline.
