Judge says you can serve divorce papers through Facebook
07 Apr 2015 • engadget.comHow do you end a marriage to someone who’s purposefully avoiding your divorce papers? Try Facebook. A Manhattan Supreme Court judge has ruled that a New York woman can serve her divorce summons by messaging her soon to be ex-husband on Facebook. He’ll get the notifications once a week on the social network for three weeks, and it’s splitsville if he either acknowledges a message or refuses to respond.
Wow. I really don’t know what to say to this one. This is probably some form of progress but the mere fact we have something like this to file under “progress” in the first place makes me sad about the state of the world.
