A new trend in marital agreements involves the use of social media during the marriage. Couples are considering the inclusion of a provision which describes acceptable use of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other on-line social websites, and penalties for unauthorized use. For example, a couple might state that neither will post any pictures which include nudity or could be detrimental to a professional career. Ann-Margaret Carrozza, a New York state attorney, says it is only recently she has seen these kinds of clauses, but reports 1/3 of her clients now want to include such a provision. A violation of such a clause often comes with a monetary penalty for the offending spouse. Although we here at Wade Ash have yet to hear such a request, we feel certain it's coming soon.
