North Carolina parents who are going through a divorce and negotiating child custody matters should be aware of a recent ruling that might set a precedent for the way social media posts are used in custody battles. The ruling involved using a Facebook profile as evidence in a custody dispute.
Courts in custody cases give priority to the best interests of the child and finding out which parent is the primary caretaker is important for judges to decide custody issues. Judges must weigh a variety of factors when trying to figure out what is best for a child after a divorce, including the relationship the child has with both parents.
