She developed this ‘crazy’ theory that my client had killed his first wife by giving her cancer, and that he was doing the same thing to his new ‘fiancé.’
The second wife’s attorney (who was quite good) refused to be a party to it. The attorney never addressed the argument in court, and didn’t even ask the second wife any questions about it during testimony. Rather, the attorney informed the judge that the second wife wished to address the court directly about an issue.
The judge allowed her to do so (in a highly irregular move). The second wife told her wild conspiracy theory to the judge, adding that she was certain my client had tried to givehercancer at some point as well.
I wish I had an artist’s rendering of the scene, capturing the second wife’s ‘crazy’ eyes, her attorney’s look of shame/embarrassment, the judge’s look of confusion, and my look of awe-inspired disgust.”
“The police went with her through the house documenting dozens of items glued to various things, but for days she was discovering random things and she would call to amend or update her report.
‘My goddamn oven mitts were glued to the wall’ or ‘he glued the effing sheets together in the linen closet!’ I’ve seen people do and say really awful things to each other, but this was diabolical.”
“He finally came back several years later to find out everything he owned was in her name, and one of the documents he was told to sign were divorce papers. The dude was left with nothing. I moved on before I found out how the story ended.

A year later, his new partner had three dogs. So on the Friday afternoon swap for our son, he handed me my son and said he was walking the dog. I was excited to see the dog and gave him a quick cuddle.
My ex bolted to the car and left. His new girlfriend didn’t want ‘our dog,’ so they left him with me. Except it was Friday night and I got to the apartment, and they refused to let us in. So, we had to give the dog a new home that night. My son was inconsolable — it was a nasty act.”
“In going over the wife’s answers, she listed bestiality as a factor that led to the breakdown of the relationship. I asked the husband about this (because I have to know what other issues would’ve come to light), and he told me he got really drunk one night after they separated, called her up, and told her he ‘fucked a goat.’
But, he swore he didn’tactuallydo that. I was really professional and kept a straight face during the meeting, but my boss and I laughed about that for ages.”
“The east coast wife similarly posted a photograph of him, and the facial recognition assigned him a possible name: his west coast name. Eventually, the two wives got in touch. But wait, there’s more! He had a THIRD wife and family in the Czech Republic and moved there to avoid family court — he’s being pursued for extradition…CONTINUE READING>>
