Do social media prenups make sense?
As if the discussion with your spouse-to-be around whether to have a prenuptial agreement isn’t tough enough; there’s something else that you might want to include in that conversation — a social media prenup.
Indeed, more and more young couples are setting rules and guidelines on social media and how it will play a part in their married life.
This is because social media plays a big role in divorce among American couples — data that is backed and verified by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. Rebecca Crumrine Rieder of Hedgepeth, Heredia, Crumine & Reider says that this is not a surprise at all, as she sees a lot of it in her experience as a family law attorney.

Some details that couples consider include arrangements on social media account sharing or disclosure of passwords. They also decide upfront on who their partners can or can’t be friends with on social networks or what they can or can’t disclose on these networks during and after the marriage (who knows what most people end up saying online when they’re mad?)
With half of all marriages ending up in divorce, many think that rules governing social media accounts may help those who stay in the marriages and even those who don’t.
While many couples decide to include a social media clause in their prenuptial agreements, not everyone does. If you’re not planning to put your agreement on paper, you may want to have a conversation about the matter with your spouse before tying the knot.
