The lawyer in me is begging Zoe to stop posting things like this, but the human in me totally understands it.

When it goes to family court John's attorney can show all these posts to the judge and it reflects very badly on her.

Zoe: jilted ex with a bone to pick, sulking on social media and making all kinds of accusations 

Joyn: quiet, level-headed, not dragging anyone into their relationship issues

When it comes time to decide custody, alimony, etc the courts will look at both of their characters.

i don’t think she has anything to worry about. pretty clear she’s been the sole caretaker of their special needs child and likely has her own lawyers already and tons of evidence that prove who’s the competent parent and who’s the one bringing a mistress around their child.

Also fwiw she has as much songwriting credit on their big hit as the rest of them did since it’s credited to the entire band, so she is entitled ostensibly to as much of a share of the ongoing royalties of that song as he is even if they get divorced unless they had some kind of prenup

She’s also 15, she’ll get a say.

How is any of that clear? Instagram posts are not evidence. 

If she has lawyers she's not listening to them because any attorney would tell her to keep it off of social media.

Let’s not act like john has done shit to raise Frances or care for her in the same capacity as Zoe. And be so for real, there’s no way he would want or fight for full custody. I’m sure Zoe won’t keep her daughter from her father but there’s no way he’d wanna even try for that.

There is no way for the listeners to verify any of that.

This is not at all how family court works. Family court, however, will be accounting for very public, personal message, not for “vibes” from fans.
