Prenuptial agreements have shifted gears to suitably adhere to our fast-paced and social media dominated days of 2014. A newly implemented “social media clause” protects married couples and divorce partners from taking their soiled intimate lives outside of the private sphere and going digital.
New York-based attorney Ann-Margaret Carrozza describes this clause as each party having to “agree not to post, tweet, or otherwise share via social media, positive, negative, insulting, embarrassing, or flattering images or content of the other.” While each party has the ability to tweak the clause in ways they best see fit their relationship, Carrozza recommends keeping it broad in order to cover all social media-related bases. Doing so would consist of making sure to include posts that harbor positive connotations. For those who break the contract and choose to take their reminiscing and/or trolling into a public forum, the penalties are monetary.
While you might not plan on saying “I do” to somebody who would spam your nudes all over Twitter, it could be useful to have a clause that keeps up with our digital times, adding to the “I do” with an additional “I won’t.” In lieu of nostalgic creeping of the glory days, here’s a throwback to Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin’ Bout You” off of Channel Orange.
