While you will be sharing a great deal of information during the divorce process, it is important for you to take steps to protect your privacy. You will be required to produce financial documents, and you may also be required to provide copies of emails and text messages. Emails and texts between yourself and your attorney are protected due to privilege. However, the same is not true as to communication with others.

If you believe that your spouse has access to your computer, iPad or phone, you should take steps to protect your privacy. You may want to purchase a new iPad or computer that you use only when communicating with your counsel or your therapist. If you do that, ensure that you are using a password that is difficult to break, such as a phrase.

It is natural to want to discuss the divorce process with friends and family, but that may be to your detriment if too much detail or strategy is shared.  This is a good reason to confide in a counselor or therapist to discuss the process and your feelings.
