    iPhone App Produces Evidence of Adultery.

    I found this interesting article today on abcnews.com.  When Apple released its new iOS 5 operating system to go with its iPhone 4S, it contained a new app called "Find My Friends".  "Find My Friends" permits users to track and meet up with friends by showing their location on a map on your smart phone screen.  Apparently, this application permits husbands or wives to track the whereabouts of their husbands and wives and compare that to his or her stated whereabouts as demonstrated in the forum exchange detailed in this article.  As a Charlottesville Divorce Lawyer, I am always looking for a way to gain an edge and where used appropriately and legally I can see this application being of great use as an evidentiary and investigative tool in divorce cases.  In fact, I have already had a client use it to extract an admission of adultery from a spouse.
