Divorce can be stressful enough, without prying eyes looking in on the process. For most people, privacy is very important. This is especially the case for business owners or those in the public eye.
Is there anything you can do to protect your privacy? In short, the answer is yes. Here are a two ways you can work to do that.
Less confrontation
The more confrontational your divorce is, the more likely it is to drag on for an extended period. The longer the legal process is ongoing, the more time prying eyes have the opportunity to see the details.
In a highly contested divorce, neither spouse wins. That’s why more and more divorcing people are seeking ways to end the process as efficiently as possible. The starting point of this is to try to keep conflict to a minimum.
In legal terms, prenuptial and postnupial agreements can help avoid conflict during divorce. If you have a prenup, then its terms should help the divorce go much more smoothly. Even if you didn’t sign a prenup, a postnup could be an option if you are merely exploring your options in terms of securing assets.
Less social media use
When it comes to social media use and divorce, less is definitely more. Ideally, each spouse should refrain from posting on social media during legal proceedings. However, this can be difficult, so minimizing posts that could impact the divorce at all can help.
Posts to avoid include any form of badmouthing of a spouse or any pictures that could be perceived as you living an affluent lifestyle. Remember, all social media posts can typically be used as evidence in a court case.
Whether you are simply exploring your options or entering divorce proceedings, legal guidance can be an invaluable thing to have.
