"I had heard from my staff that there were a lot of people saying they had found out things about their partners on Facebook and I decided to see how prevalent it was," the New York Daily News quoted Mark Keenan, Managing Director of Divorce-Online, as telling the Telegraph.
"I was really surprised to see 20 per cent of all the petitions containing references to Facebook. The most common reason seemed to be people having inappropriate sexual chats with people they were not supposed to," he added.
