Is Social Media Your Friend or Foe During a Nebraska Divorce or Separation?

Social media is usually more foe than friend during a Nebraska divorce or custody dispute because posts, photos, comments, and DMs can be screenshotted and used to challenge your credibility, your parenting judgment, and your ability to minimize conflict.
