  • Use of private facebook messages (possible drug use)

    I am going to go to court for custody.
    I will consult with my lawyer but maybe you guys can speak about the strategic ramifications or even legal if you have the experience in this.
    My ex has been acting unstable lately and a week ago, she had went to my house without me knowing (we haven’t lived together for the past year). She got in because I left my back door open. Anyways, she had used my computer and had left her facebook open.
    The question is can I use her private messages as there is some very incriminating stuff aka drug use? It’s one thing if I went to her house it’s another thing that she went to my house and left her facebook open.
    I understand you can use facebook as evidence but those pertain to public postings.

    A bigger question is even if i could legally, is it strategically wise to use someone's private messaging against them.

    I think that is a perfectly reasonable expectation. It does make me wonder though why the computer is not password protected? I won't say anything about the door - I live in a small town and no one here locks house doors, cars etc. If I run out of milk, the neighbours house is closer than the grocery store so I have been known to head there even when she isn't home!

    I have no idea how to respond to the OP's post though. Perhaps Orleans Lawyer will chime in on that one. Good luck!

      gotta agree with you, seems that would be questionable.

        I think it could backfire. Its an invasion of privacy or someone could accuse you of hacking her FB and planting it there.

          thanks guys...that's what i was thinking too. Well, in terms of having proof. She had emailed me at work that her phone got disconnected and i said well how ar eyou emailing me and replied that she was my house and needed to use my internet. So I have all this correspondence from my work to her.

          So if you really want to get technical in terms of proof, I can prove the email headers from her email came from my computer IP address at home. So unless I am at work and at home at the same time, it's pretty elaborate setup.

            I think we both know how easy that is to do, I can think of a couple of ways to do it without breaking a sweat.

              True, I thought bout that, yeah I could remote desktop from my box at home and send to my work.

              I wouldn't stoop to planting when she shoots herself in the foot with many other things as well and the mere fact it's dishonest. My main concern here is our son being around that environment. Who does that shit..go on a bender with a 2 year old around??? You need to get your act together then, then focus on your son.

              And it seems at this point the only people she will listen to is the law/courts.

                I don't blame you for being upset, but its a matter of what you can prove versus what you know.

                  Don't leave your "back door open" - wow good thing you're not in jail LOL

                  Tighten up the security around your place. You may think you have the goods on her but, speaking as a fairly resourceful individual, she probably has the same or more on you.

                  The information you gleaned was not a result of an email communication between the two of you. You would have a hard time explaining yourself on how you obtained the information.

                    Forget the crap about how he got into her Facebook account. The important thing is that what he found out there is that his ex is doing drugs around their child! How can he deal with this important safety issue when he found out about it under such questionable circumstances? Just because questions would be raised in court doesn't mean he should ignore the fact that his ex is endangering the child.

                      Is she shooting crack, or smoking a joint?

                        I'd be more interested if the ex had an undeclared tax-free income.


                        Incredible bull-shit in my view. Intersting how these new ex's adopt new addictive harmful things once they are separated. Like they never delved in them before? Yep and my grandfather is a mushroom.

                          its not pot is all i can say. This isn't just one thing I am trying to pick on and running with, there are other things she has done and has been police documented.

                              I think what Arabian was trying to say is that there have been times where a person was doing drugs, drinking heavily etc for years while married and the other spouse didnt do anything about it. After separation the other spouse then tries and use it against the other parent saying how bad etc it is.
