Divorce Lawyers Spill the Beans: Unbelievable Stories of Spousal Betrayal and Deception

Welcome to an intriguing discussion where we dive into the captivating world of divorce stories. From diabolical plots to hilarious schemes and downright absurd tactics.

Hidden Asset Tricks

To begin, a user said, “Paralegal for a divorce lawyer here. Our client told us he didn’t clear out the marital account after the parties filed. Which technically is true because while he removed $45,000, he left about $3.50 in there.”

Custody Battle Revenge

A user said, “Her psycho ex bought a cat on his time with the kids, except he’s not allowed pets at his apartment. He sends the kids back to their mom’s house with the cat and all its stuff. Mom is pissed because she didn’t want a cat, and her boyfriend is crazy allergic. She calls us asking what to do because her kids are bawling, saying that she can’t get rid of their new “sibling” and she has the cat in the garage. Ex told kids, “If mommy loves you, she’ll let you keep the cat since daddy is not allowed cats at his house.”

Financial Fraud Tactics

One person said, “ In the divorce, she went AWOL, was living in a truck somewhere, and just couldn’t handle it mentally. He gave her five of his nine companies. They were the ones that owed seven figures in payroll taxes. He had made her the bookkeeper on paper. She spent decades trying to shake the IRS for the results.”

Secret Lover Involvement

A user replied, “Husband and wife divorce after husband finds out wife is se****ting other guys. He goes into a deep depression. They didn’t have much—lots of debt and two dogs. One was a dog he had had since before the marriage. He got her. The other dog was only about 3 years old and was bought to keep the older (7-year-old) dog company while they worked. Their wife demanded that since he got his dog that she got the other. He is depressed and just wants to move on, so he agrees. She gets the dog and has it put down the next day. She didn’t want the dog. She just wanted to hurt him.”

Abandoning Responsibilities

One comment was, ‘I knew a guy that got out of the military at 19 years so his ex wouldn’t get half his pension. He would rather get nothing than give half the pension to his ex if he stayed in one more year.”

Evidence Hiding Attempts

One user said, “But my partner has a mate who was going through a messy divorce. He registered as a “gambling addict” and went to some gambling Anonymous (or whatever it’s called) and proceeded to go to the casino every day, taking wads of cash with him, pretending to gamble it all away, while he was secretly squirreling it all away. That way, when it came to the divorce, and he was questioned where all his money went, he could “prove” that he lost it all through his gambling addiction and never had to pay her a penny.”

Violating Court Orders

One person said, “In the first case I ever worked, the husband shaved/waxed every single hair off his body in an attempt to avoid a court-mandated drug test.”

Children as Divorce Pawns

A Redditor commented, “My mum didn’t want my dad to show up in court because he would contest, and then they’d have to split the assets. She phoned me and told me to put laxatives in his food so he wouldn’t be able to make it there.”

Spreading False Information

Bizarre Tactics

A user replied, “The divorce lawyer told the story of a rather well to do couple that spent months and months and many tens of thousands of dollars fighting over absolutely everything, all the way down to a single ceramic ashtray. He couldn’t remember the significance, but somehow it had come through the husband’s family. Even after everything else had been decided, they spent many more months and nearly $100,000 fighting over just this ashtray. Then, after a court hearing, the wife finally won the ashtray. She promptly strode out to the white courthouse steps…and smashed the ceramic ashtray. Left the pieces all over for the husband to see on his way out.”

Harassment and Intimidation

A user commented, “Friend was going through a divorce from insane husband. He had been texting her pics of the gun he bought and threatening her. Police were called. Nothing they could do because it was ‘only a picture.“

Property Sabotage

A rather funny story was, “Once had a boss who had to leave his house for 6 hours while his ex-wife grabbed all the belongings she was legally entitled to. When he returned home, every knob and handle was gone. Door knobs, cabinet handles, drawer handles, anything that was screwed onto something and used to open it, she had taken. Every day for the next week, he would occasionally yell out, “SHE TOOK THE KNOBS.”

Vandalism and Damage

One story was, “A soon-to-be ex-husband left his wife’s prized Koi to die on the doorstep of their house. Apparently, the value of these fish (six in total) was over $100,000. She was, according to her lawyer, so distraught that she couldn’t be in court. Only in LA.”

Unusual Support Payment Requests

A user wrote, “Dad is a divorce attorney. His clients couldn’t decide who would get the Labrador puppy’s from a new litter they just breed. The pups are worth $1000 a pop. Well, they also hadn’t been up to date on their payments. So Dad brought a litter of 8 floppy puppies home as collateral for us to have until they could negotiate the settlement. So much fun for us kids.”

Unorthodox Strategies

Finally, a user added, “The ex-husband was getting remarried. 1) His ex-wife sent him and his new fiancé a dozen black roses before their wedding. 2) His ex-wife then had a plane fly across during their wedding, dragging a sign that read an awful thing about them. You can’t make this stuff up.
