Study Cites Facebook as Cause of Many Divorces
April 11th, 2011 | 
Author: A recent study from PI Newswire shows as many as one in five divorce filings cite problems on Facebook or other social networking websites.
In Rochester, marriage counselors are sending a warning to even happily married couples: Facebook affairs are threatening healthy couples, too.
Ned Hibberd of MyFoxHouston.com comments:
Maybe they should change the marriage vows to include, “until Facebook do us part.”
Facebook and other social networking sites can certainly connect you with long-lost friends.
But a new study suggests Facebook can also help disconnect you from your better half.
The site, which boasts more than 350 million active users, is mentioned by name in almost 20% of divorce petitions, according to Divorce-Online.
Prominent Houston divorce attorney Bucky Allshouse can understand why.
“It’s really kind of shocking what people put on Facebook,” says Allshouse.
Perhaps it’s not so shocking that the social networking site can essentially pour kerosene on “old flames.”
