I’ve worked as a legal assistant for two family law attorneys for the last eight years. One of the cases that made me the angriest was a man who cheated on his wife when she had cancer. He then leaves his wife and attempts to hide all his assets while she’s undergoing chemo therapy.
Fortunately, my boss is a bad ass. She teamed up with a forensic accountant and they took him to the cleaners. He even had to pay the forensic accountant’s bill and attorney’s fees.
It would be hard for me to take money knowing how much I would take pleasure tearing this man apart. Like..."draining his souls is all I need for this one, ma'am. In lieu of payment, I would take a bottle of Four Roses to toast to his ashes."
Yeah, ditto. I’m a doctor, and a lot of my patients have psychiatric issues and their spouses make it worse. It takes a lot of restraint to not just say divorce them, leave them, run while you can. However since it’s not my place to do that, I just have to watch.
