According to Pew Research Center, in 2014, 74% of online adults had social networking accounts. With those numbers in mind, odds are that you have a Facebook account.

When it comes to divorce, eventually your network will know about it because information flies on the superhighway.

If you're in the middle of a divorce, you're better off playing it safe, especially since most divorce attorneys these days use social media evidence.

Here's what NOT to do on social media:

1. Don't switch your status to single before the divorce is finalized.

If you do, you'll invite a lot of unsolicited opinions. Your soon-to-be ex can be on high alert for any sign of dating, and if you live in a fault-based divorce state, the judge may frown upon your single status. It's not worth the headache.

2. Don't post "questionable" pics of you.

Don't post pics of alcohol, risqué photos of you, or shots of you partying. These types of pics can be harmful in child custody cases.

3. Don't flaunt your new sweetheart.

While it's safer to start dating after the divorce, this may be unrealistic. If you are dating someone new, refrain from stating that you're "in a relationship" with so and so until after the divorce. In some states, this could raise questions about adultery, and it could adversely affect your child custody case.

4. Don't show off.

Did you buy a fancy new car? Did you vacation in the Bahamas? Don't post pics of expensive expenditures on social media, especially if alimony is an issue. This applies to spouses who may pay alimony, and spouses looking to receive it.

5. Don't air your dirty laundry.

Don't complain about your spouse, their lawyer, or the judge on your case. Judges are human and if they find out that you're nagging about them, it could harm your case.
