Can I use proof from social media to show that a non custodial parent is employed?

More details to this question:
A noncustodial parent claims they do not work, but have posted on social media that they are employed and states the earnings they are receiving. Is this valid proof that could be used to show a judge that the person is employed?

You can use it, but it is up to the court to determine if they find it to be true or not.

Your best bet in order to get ADMISSIBLE evidence is to find out where he is employed and subpoena his wage information from them. You can try to get him to admit it based upon the social media post, but it may not be admissible, or if admissible, not trustworthy (it's not a statement under oath, as his court testimony is).
