Facebook is fuelling thousands of divorce rows because people have been caught flaunting their hidden wealth on social media, a British law firm has claimed.
Experts at Lake Legal, a Leeds-based firm, said around a third of divorce cases now involve the use of social media, with people attempting
to prove or disprove allegations.
Posts featuring images and details of holidays are being used frequently to expose lies that have been made about a person's income or overall financial standing, it was claimed.
Divorce lawyers are also said to be encouraging their clients to keep an eye on their estranged partner's social media activity, as well as monitoring their friends and family.
Recently, a woman had her divorce settlement tripled after Facebook posts of her ex-husband's holiday disproved his claims that he was living in penury.
