WOW and Farmville named in increasing numbers of divorce filings
Games used as griunds for divorce
Games like World of Warcraft and Farmville are being increasingly named in divorce and custody hearlings.
According to an article in USA Today, research done by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers shows that 81 percent of divorce lawyers have used or faced evidence from social networking sites, MMO games and even Youtube over the last five years.
One lawyer encountered the following argument: "Father seeks custody of the kids, claiming (among other things) that his ex-wife never attends the events of their young ones. Subpoenaed evidence from the gaming site World of Warcraft tracks her there with her boyfriend at the precise time she was supposed to be out with the children. Mom loves Facebook's Farmville, too, at all the wrong times."
Facebook is cited most often appearing in 66 percent of cases to use online evidence.
