My ex posted a legal notice, from the judge in our case on her facebook page. Is it illegal to do that?

We are going through a child support dispute and she posted one of the documents on a public comments area? Is it illegal to post court documents on such a medium? Thanks for your help.My ex posted a legal notice, from the judge in our case on her facebook page. Is it illegal to do that?

All court documents are public knowledge. In theory, if you know the case number to any file, you can go to the court house and ask to look at it.
They are public record, but if you can show that this was done to harass or slander your reputation you may have legal cause for action in a civil suite. Call your atty to find out.
Unless there's a particular law in your area or the records have been sealed for some reason, court documents are concidered public record.
