Need to vent? Rethink the internet.
You may have heard of Tricia Walsh-Smith and the YouTube video she recently released blasting her millionaire husband for filing for divorce as well as kicking her out of their Manhattan apartment. Although it is quite entertaining, this action could cost her in the end. During the video she indirectly accuses her husband of infidelity and tells the world about certain fetishes (you know you are dying to see it now). This may sound like a good idea while you are in the throws of a divorce. Your heart may be breaking, you may have anxiety about your future, or you may even be enraged. However, posting on a blog or video site like YouTube could be very damaging to your case as well as to your family.
If you need a therapeutic cleansing of emotions created from your divorce, go see a therapist. The internet is not the place to publish details about your intimate relationship. Consider how your family and friends are going to react to this information; no matter how you may be feeling right now, in a few weeks, months, or years, you will most likely regret the decision to go public. Also, how will your children be effected by this information? Will they or their classmates come across the information online? Most likely, they will be humiliated and this will only make the divorce more difficult for them. In addition, your employer, or future employer, may also access this information. Do you really want your boss to know about your sex life?
Going public with steamy details of your relationship could also harm your case. The opposing attorney could use it to diminish your credibility to the judge. You could lose money, assets, and even custody of your children. So if you are thinking of telling the world about your low-down, skum-sucking spouse, tell your lawyer first.
