•        Divorces are turning nasty on Facebook
        •        Lawyers tell clients to remove profile pages
        •        One woman's Facebook stunt cost her dear 
A MOTHER in the middle of a custody dispute has been caught boasting on her Facebook page how she thought about ripping her husband off for another $20,000.
"Felt like being a smart arse," she wrote, signing off "Bwahahaha lol."
Lawyers are now advising their clients locked in Family Court fights to take down their Facebook pages as the networking site has become both the latest weapon and target for warring spouses.
In one case a woman discovered her husband was a bigamist when she was tipped off to look at wedding photographs of him with another bride on the other woman's Facebook page.
In another case a husband discovered he had been set up by his wife with a woman he thought he met on an internet site. He discovered the woman was a "friend" on his wife's Facebook page.
"I tell my clients just don't bloody do it, don't be silly" family law expert Michael Taussig QC said.
The woman who boasted she had thought about dragging out the Family Court case to cost her ex-husband an extra $20,000 in legal bills found it backfired on her.
Justice James Barry granted custody of the two children, aged nine and eight, to their father with the mother getting visiting rights.
He then ordered the mother to pay $15,000 of her ex-husband's estimated $35,000 legal bill, saying the mother's behaviour had been the "stuff of nightmares".
She had already strung the case out by falsely claiming her ex-husband had been sexually assaulting their children after one judgment went against her.
Then she falsely claimed the father's new wife had been assaulting them.
"The mother has over the years attempted to manipulate the court system," Justice Barry said.

the power of facebook....you can even use it in a court of law now...sounds dangerous....going to close my account...

Wow - what is surprising is how stupid some people could be.

The main lesson is, if you don't want something to get out to the public, don't post it online.  Even this one. lol.  Only post information you're willing and can afford to share

Specialists in Germany have found that it is even possible to spy emails witch facebook. Not only the members also emails of people who are in email contact with facebook - members.

Social communities are always dangerous and all of them are so generous with personal informations.

Just read where Germany is banning access to facebook in a lot of workplaces because of this reason and lost
productivity from workers.

haha .. facebook is part if life now. can't expect to do things on there and get away with it. Its got you name and pictures for damn sake.

Wasn't there a guy who skipped work for a sporting event or concert then posted pics on facebook and got fired? i think that made the news not long ago ..

simple, don't be on fb. once that shit goes up, its like near impossible to erase.

actually, you can permanently delete your fb account - just go to Account, Help Center, in your right hand side, Top Questions, the first question - How do I permanently delete my account?. I have copied the information for people's FYI

How do I permanently delete my account?
If you deactivate your account from the "Deactivate Account" section o...
If you deactivate your account from the "Deactivate Account" section on the Account page, your profile and all information associated with it are immediately made inaccessible to other Facebook users. What this means is that you effectively disappear from the Facebook service. However, if you want to reactivate at some point, we do save your profile information (friends, photos, interests, etc.), and your account will look just the way it did when you deactivated if you decide to reactivate it. Many users deactivate their accounts for temporary reasons and expect their information to be there when they return to the service.

If you do not think you will use Facebook again and would like your account deleted, please keep in mind that you will not be able to reactivate your account or retrieve any of the content or information you have added. If you would like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log in to your account and then submit your request here.

Most of company in Germany don't allow access to facebook, ebay, youtube. Otherwise many of the employees are loosing hours surfing.
