English Pronunciation: Speak Method| Watch Video
Social media has become a new resource for finding out about marital affairs, and the hottest zone is Facebook. Lawyers are using Facebook to find pictures that show marital discord and misconduct. One lawyer said that clients had pointed her to pictures on Facebook that show spouses with babysitters or serving alcohol to minors. For those going through a divorce, even deleting photos from Facebook may not help. The photos could have been downloaded and cached images could also be found. |
