5 Tips for Using Social Media During Your Divorce

July 5, 2019 by vitale family law

These days, most people are active on at least one social media account. In 2018, for example, Facebook had 2.32 billion active users. Twitter had 321 million users, and Instagram boasted nearly 1 billion users. While social media can be a great tool for staying connected with friends, family, and colleagues, it can also cause problems when you’re involved in a legal dispute, including a divorce. This situation is especially true if your divorce in North Carolina involves complex finances or a child custody matter. Unfortunately, people looking at your social media posts may take things out of context, or they might rely on one post or photo to make assumptions about your parenting choices or lifestyle.

North Carolina Child Custody Lawyer – Making Divorce Easier on the Kids

January 31, 2018 by vitale family law

Witnessing verbal sparring and heated arguments can be stressful for children, especially in a divorce situation. When parents decide to end their marriage, they naturally worry how their divorce will affect their children. They might even have bad memories of their own parents’ divorce, which can make them reluctant to move forward with the divorce process.   However, research shows that children thrive more in a divorce situation than they do in unhappy households filled with bickering parents and high levels of conflict. If you and your spouse are unable to work it out, it may be better for your children if you and your spouse go your separate ways rather than try to stay aboard a sinking ship. If you have questions about child custody or how divorce in North Carolina affects minor children, get in touch with a North Carolina child custody lawyer today. Three Things You Can Do to Help Your Kids Cope with Divorce You don’t stop being your child’s parent just because you … [Read more...]
