[Solved] SOCIAL MEDIA

Hi Everyone,

Not probably meant to be in the legal section but where do I stand with in terms of putting pictures of my children on social media i.e facebook, instagram

The pictures belong to me and are of my children but ex doesn't want them to go online ( nothing to do with safety)
shes just being awkward and wanting to control what I can or cannot do

So if there's nothing in a court order to say i can then i am assuming i can do as i wish ?

To be honest, I just wouldn't do it. If it's causing friction between you, it's not really worth escalating this for the sake of posting on facebook or any other social media. People who are close enough to know you , you can show them the pictures directly, it doesn't have to be on fb.

I agree with actd. These things can snowball very quickly & it's often a bone of contention in hearings I've been present at & the judge's advice is usually; don't be friends on social media and limit what you post.

So if you do not want mother to do it then it works the same I suppose?

It is ridiculous that they can control you that much. to just try and do something to fustrate you.

Bottom line is, take the higher ground, I would email mother and copy in Cafcass saying, you requested me to not post a picture of me and my daughter on facebook, I respecting your view on this and I have not done so.

if you cafcass officer see's it she may note it that you are reducing conflict between the parents and you can use in court to your favour to gain an advantage perhaps or use it as an exhibit yourself. to show you how you are cooperating with mother.

I wouldn't advise copying Cafcass in to what can be seen as trivial issues.

Agree with Yoda, if the case is closed CAFCASS won’t get involved anyway.

If you have a final court order and the case is closed, with no mention of sharing photos on social media forming part of it, you can of course continue to post them, but is it worth it if it’s going to cause problems?

If she is sharing children’s photos, write to her and ask her for parity, explain that if she objects to you sharing photos, you are happy to abide by that, as long as she does too.

If there’s an ongoing case, you can bring it up in your position statement.
