Facebook Etiquette
Here's a question for all you social media mavens - what's the etiquette when a relative is getting a divorce, and you're Facebook friends with the spouse?

Well.... if it's a particularly nasty divorce I would think said relative would block ex-spouse and then never know you were still friends. I see no reason to defriend spouse unless they start bashing your relative or family. Meh... just my opinion.

Keep em, unless you don't want to know what happens next.

depends on the situation I guess? I went through and deleted everyone who was related or close with XH's family. I didn't want them to know anything about my life unless I was specifically telling them. When my friends split up, I always expect that they'll make the decision- I don't take sides but I don't like being caught in the middle of things either.

I think it would depend on the situation. If the ex-spouse is one of those crazy muthafucka ex-spouses, delete. If ex-spouse is pretty good about remaining civil, keep them.

It would really depend on the situation. How long have they been married? How close are you, personally, with the spouse?
It's honestly a judgment call based on your relationships with the individuals.
