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.
Divorce can bring out the worst in people, especially when money, custody, and resentment all land in the same room. In this Reddit thread, one user asked divorce lawyers to share the craziest ways spouses tried to screw each other over, and the answers quickly turned brutal, petty, and sometimes hard to believe.
The stories range from ugly revenge moves to shocking legal stunts, with commenters piling on examples that made the whole process sound exhausting. Some of the details are funny in a dark way, but plenty of them are just plain messy.
Here’s the full thread, and it gets worse fast.

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

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.
