During contentious divorce proceedings, some spouses threaten to share or actually share intimate images as leverage to gain advantages in custody, property, or support negotiations. This behavior is not acceptable and constitutes a breach of trust. The fact that images were taken or shared within the marriage does not give either spouse the right to distribute them without the other's consent.

ScanErase helps you find where your face appears in any publicly posted images while your divorce attorney addresses the conduct through the family court. Many courts view NCII distribution or threats during proceedings as pertinent to custody determinations, particularly if children could be affected. The documentation from ScanErase can support your case in family court proceedings.

If your spouse is threatening to share images rather than having already posted them, ScanErase can help you monitor for any postings. Your divorce attorney may be able to obtain urgent legal protection against the sharing of intimate images during the divorce proceedings.
