But his good life collapsed in one moment. "I never paid much attention to the fact that his wife spends a lot of time at his laptop sitting on the Internet - contritely recalls Stephen. - On the other hand, I was glad that she had found a fun, because most of her life took place in the care of the home and children. " A month ago, when he returned from work early, Stephen noticed on the kitchen table and his wife forgot excommunicated computer turned on. Not really thinking, the man looked up at the monitor.

Watch yourself
Italian statistics are not less eloquent than the British one in five divorce or family crisis in the country is due to Facebook.

The relationship, which began as a virtual move easily in the real world "- says the chairman of the Association of Italian lawyers in divorce cases Gian Ettore GASN. According to research by the Italian Center for psychological support, 70% of virtual relationships are transformed into real meetings, and 30% flow into long-term love affair on the side.

American lawyers are now also no surprise divorce process, which began because of the Internet found evidence of treason, like Stephen and Margaret. The main reason - negligence, and sometimes even stupidity of users of social networks. "As a divorce attorney, I often see people who inflame a new romantic feelings, finding a pair on Facebook or similar sites. In addition, records on social networks can be fairly easy to keep track of when and where the person was, even though he later denied everything. For example, your friend your photographs in the casino or bar, and then puts online. All you have got, "- says the American law firm Focus partner Kessler & Solomiany Randall Kessler. Specialist in family law each time surprised naivety and frivolity of their clients.

For others, the Internet is so big that the partner will never see their comments or photos ».

President of the American Academy of Family lawyers Ken Altsuler said: such frivolity - the result of apparent anonymity that provides network communication. It allows people to impersonate others and even to acquire a false appearance. But while many users carry on communication in social networks their ideas about the real world. "Facebook friends they seem exactly the same friends, as well as in everyday life - says Altsuler. - That's only real friends you know well, and networking "buddylist" could be anyone. Any one online may well be the friend of your wife, with whom you are divorced. Thus, everything that you tell him (or her) in a fit of emotion telling, goes straight to your former half ».

A lawyer describes the two most common types of situations related to divorce and Facebook. The first, which has become a classic - the deceived husband discovers the network evidence in the form of correspondence (as did Stephen accident). "I had a case where a woman changed her status on Facebook to" single "to" single "- says Altsuler. - From her messages on the page, it was clear that she was going to file for divorce and also intends to resume relations with his university love. The lady did not hide that he was going to go to the ex-boyfriend in the neighboring states. " This woman did not consider one thing - her husband was in her Facebook friends and had access to the records. As a result, he read all the correspondence and unfaithful wife filed for divorce first.

The second situation - where one spouse is lying on their income. "For example, in my experience was such a case: the woman insisted that nothing earns on its online store - says Altsuler - but on his Facebook page posted photos, which adorned the box with the goods - soon they We had to go to the customer. Moreover, the network boasted lady friends that work on this about 25 thousand dollars ».
