A 2015 survey organized by law firm Slater and Gordon found that one in five of the Facebook snoopers ended up fighting about what they found — and one in seven have considered divorce because of it.
Distressing findings, according to the survey, included contact with an ex-partner, secret correspondence, and inappropriate photos.
As Andrea Newbury, head of family law at Slater and Gordon, said in a release:
“Five years ago Facebook was rarely mentioned in the context of a marriage ending, but now it has become common place for clients to cite social media use, or something they discovered on social media, as a reason for divorce."
