Hi All,
My ex partner has been on facebook and is saying a few things which are inaccurate, obviously putting her side across, but some of my family can see these entries and are distressed.
She also has full frontal facial pictures of our children on theyre for all to see and this bothers me a lot. I have a security background and not only does it say her location in facebook but geolocation is embedded in the pictures.
Do any of you have experience of stopping pictures or entries in facebook by your ex, can I ask the court to stop her?
Regards,
Dave
FACEBOOK- FACEBOOK- FACEBOOK!!! As much as I enjoy using it to keep my family and friends updated with what me and my child get up to (they don’t get to see their grandchild much) it also can be a real pain in the [censored]!!!
Ex’s use it to slag you off…you vent your anger at how you’re being treated by the ex and not seeing your kids etc… etc… courts will not be impressed when you mention FB.
Personally I’d report it to FB as inappropriate images…..but also as harassment and possibly bullying behaviour…….not sure how far you’d get with that.
Not sure court will do much in all honesty….its all part of the usual “mud-slinging” from a bitter ex!
If its your side of the family suggest they report it too as offensive.
I think most would say just ignore it and rise above it!
That’s not easy to do when its all lies about you and potentially damaging to your relationships with family, friends, loved ones….don’t forget work too! some accusations/lies could end up having to be investigated depending on who you work for….teaching/nursing/public figure etc…etc…
I will say from experience though…..when my ex was proved to be a liar in court and the judgement was issued I cannot tell you how I good it felt….FB was used to share my delight at finally proving her a liar!!! Never posted the judgement just my own wording of it!!! Childish…yes I know!!!…but oh so satisfying and not one bit libellous as it was the truth and proved in court!!!!
Dad-i-dad - good that you didn't post the judgement - judgements in child law cases are different from any other law, in that the proceedings of the case (and that includes the judgement) are confidential and should only be disclosed where it is in the interests of the child to do so (so schools etc can see it) - otherwise it's classed as contempt of court. It's one to watch out for - chances are nothing would happen, but a malicious ex bringing it up in court proceedings could get you a slap on the wrist by the court,
