A Redditor Asked Divorce Lawyers The Craziest Stories They Know About People Screwing Over Their Spouses
We’re wondering at what point divorce lawyers figure out that these people aren’t worth their time.
Weddings and marriages can both get messy, but there’s something that tops either of those: divorces. It’s hours of splitting assets and making decisions while spending tons of money to get everything in order.
For those divorces that are more serious than others, the legal proceedings can become grueling and take up a huge portion of your life. Sometimes it feels like there’s no end to it, and you don’t know whether to relent or stand your ground.
Lawyers who handle divorce cases seem to be a different breed. Divorce stories can often be crazy, and they have to mediate between people whose emotions are running high.
People who study to become lawyers and observe divorce proceedings often share how they don’t want to be part of this kind of mess and would choose other specializations. Others who have practiced it have bowed out after experiencing the amount of craziness they’ve witnessed.
In an AskReddit post, a Redditor requested stories from divorce lawyers about the craziest thing a spouse did to screw over their partner during a divorce. It could be funny, evil, or ridiculous; the comments were open for sharing.
Many shared their stories. They were truly insane and hard to believe such things happened.

You can turn away from someone, but sometimes you can’t lock them out of your life, especially if they took all the knobs.

If you could take a simple thing that would majorly inconvenience someone, what would it be?

There is a strong assumption this happened more times than they knew.

It seems rather suspicious.

Crazy enough to be considered animal abuse and destruction of a prized possession.

Some stories are significantly more serious than others.

Although this could potentially be good advice, it could also backfire and worsen things.

This method isn’t even a sure thing, but they’ll do anything to get out squeaky clean.

This isn’t petty; it’s plain spiteful.

This story is like the fight with the ceramic ashtray, but with a different ending.

There are a significant number of illegal moves in this story, but it also borders on animal abuse.

When you’re not even sure if you want the divorce, but they pull something like this.

If you think divorces can’t get messy enough, a Redditor shared a story of how awful it can really be.

It’s always sad when divorce creates monsters out of both parties, and all the good feelings they had for each other are somehow erased instantly. Although there are exceptions where divorce might be the best way to escape a bad situation, some people take it too far.
