Can my spouse get a court order to see texts I sent to another person?
Electronic evidence, including e-mails, text messages and Facebook and other social media pages, are increasingly being used in divorces in North Carolina and elsewhere. This evidence can be used for many reasons, particularly to establish marital misconduct such as adultery or to show alcohol and/or drug abuse (factors in alimony awards and child custody decisions).
Most service providers will require a subpoena before they turn over those records. However, these records may be more difficult to obtain as time passes.
