Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Indiana
My husbands ex-wife took one of my photographs of my children and posted it on facebook on the wall of my children's biological father whom has no legal custody, supervised visitation, and has been convicted of child abuse. Is it illegal for her to do that?

The child's father has a right to the photograph of his children, creep or no creep. If he wishes to post it, just as the mother does. The fact that someone else posted it for him makes no difference. No law is being broken, and no civil right of privacy for minor children against their parents has yet beeen established, on the Internet or otherwise.
