Divorce attorneys say they're now using social networking sites like Facebook more and more, in the courtroom.

Lawyers say messages you post online can be a good source of information for them and other attorneys, especially in divorce cases. Lawyers working with divorce cases say everything from the pictures you post to the messages you type can be used against you. They say using what you post online has become a great tool to help with cases.

People out Friday say it makes them a little uneasy to hear Facebook is being used in court.

"Couples always seem to talk behind each other's backs it would be better if they talked face to face and resolved things rather than going through the divorce in the first place," says one man.

"I guess that doesn't surprise me because people post a lot of personal information on there," says one woman.

"Some of the information I have seen on Facebook caused me to follow up with the questions sometimes with the parent whose picture is shown at a bar or a party someone intoxicated it leads me to ask someone follow up questions," says Brian Wright, who is an attorney with Steiner and Wright Law Offices in Eau Claire.

He says pictures, postings and almost anything else you put online could be used against you.

"There are other people that have access to those so draw your line at where you wouldn't want a stranger to see a picture that's probably not a good picture to post," says Wright.

He says even if you're page is private people could still see the information through one of your friends and while he says it's a great tool for attorneys he says they're not relying on just what you post.

"I haven't seen a case decided one way or the other based on a Facebook post or a message from the internet," says Wright.

Several of the attorneys we talked with say online postings are also being used in other types of cases like criminal cases. All the attorneys say the best thing you can do is be mindful of what you're posting online.
