#1 Swapping Out Spouses
I had two couples come to me.
They had been friends for 15 years.
Husband A decided he liked Wife B more than Wife A. Wife A decided she likes Husband B more than Husband A.
The reverse was also true, and Husband B preferred Wife A, Wife B preferred Husband A.
The couples had near identical assets in terms of value. They came to me altogether, and I drafted two sets of paperwork. Two default judgment hearings were set on the same day. The judge signed all the papers the same day.
#2 Forgetting Their Coffee Preference
I had a client file for divorce because every morning his wife would ask him how he takes his coffee... for seven years.
#3 A Pinball-Obsessed Hubby
He loved his pinball machine collection more than her. Also, it turns out some pinball machines can be worth a boat load of money.
#4 Manipulating Their Dogs' Affection
My friend specializes in family law. His wife wanted to divorce her husband because he kept taking their dogs for walks while she was at work, making it (unintentionally) so they’d rather cuddle the husband instead of her after a long day.
