More Tales of Technology and Divorce Woes

Posted By The Graves Law Firm || 29-Jun-2015

We've covered the way content — texts, images — sent between two people (one of whom is cheating) can give someone enough ammo to get a divorce. But what about those seemingly innocent computer wearables like your Fitbit? Is their data enough to get you into divorce court? Yes – very much so.

This type of data tracking isn't any different than what divorce lawyers have been doing with car GPS systems for years. However, because of the wearables' ability to pinpoint your exact location at all times, it will give opposing lawyers enough to support other evidence they may be presenting.

Typically, data gathered from wearable devices and apps — heart rates, locations, text messages and emails — does not get submitted as evidence, McLaren said, rather it may be used to secure evidence. Today's tools may not be enough for a court to conclude that someone is in the throngs of passion with a paramour. But data showing, say, that someone in a divorce proceeding is near the address of a suspected lover with an elevated heart rate, is probably not ideal for someone in court, either.
