How lawyers are using social networking sites to win divorce cases.

Users of Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace beware – your every personal detail can be found by clever lawyers looking to get the upper hand in divorce proceedings, custody disputes, and other legal battles.

Many social network users fail to realize how easy it is for any interested party to get personal information and potentially use it against them in court.

In one custody case, pictures posted on a popular social networking site were used to prove a lady was drinking, despite her promises to the contrary. Lawyers have also been know to investigate Twitter feeds for evidence of gifts and promises to mistresses as well as other harmful secrets.

So before you post anything potentially damaging online, watch out. It could be used against you.
