Yes, that’s right – a top US attorney has revealed that a third of her clients are now asking for social media clauses in prenuptial agreements.
Ann-Margaret Carrozza specialises in estate planning in New York and says each breach of an agreed social media rule can result in a fine of up to $50,000.
The rules are less about making money, but about setting boundaries in a relationship. A typical clause states that couples cannot post nude photos, embarrassing photos or anything that’s likely to harm a spouse's professional reputation.
A recent survey found that 80% of US divorce attorneys say social networking issues are on the rise in divorce proceedings.
Is this sensible? Or if you need one of these, does it indicate that your relationship is already doomed?
