Something we're seeing more often in domestic cases: clients realizing their spouse has been tracking their location, monitoring their location via spending habits, or accessing their photos without permission. The tools that made life convenient as a couple can become problematic during a divorce. If something feels off, here are a few of the first places to check.
1. Vehicle Apps 🚗 Modern cars (Tesla, OnStar, Land Rover, etc.) have apps that track your location and trips. Change passwords and separate accounts.
2. Photo Metadata 📸 Your photos contain hidden location data. Turn off location services for your camera and review who has access to iCloud Photos, Google Photos, or Amazon Photos.
3. Smart Home Devices 🏠 Alexa, Ring doorbells, and Nest cameras can track your comings and goings. Update passwords and remove shared access.
4. Hidden Trackers 📍 AirTags, Tiles, and GPS devices can be tucked into bags, cars, or personal items. Check your belongings and consider a vehicle sweep. (Does your pet have a GPS tag on his/her collar?)
5. Social Media Settings 💬 Venmo transactions, location tags on Instagram, and Facebook check-ins can reveal where you are. Set everything to private and review your settings regularly.
