At my hearing to determine court expenses for the upcoming full custody hearing, an outside lawyer was brought in to give testimony on the legal expense.

My ex's attorney was one of those back-of-the-TV-Guide lawyers. He was questioning how my attorney was charging $150/hour when he was only charging $50. He asked the neutral lawyer, under oath, if he thought that the opposing lawyer was worth $100/hr more than him.

There was a long pause. The court reporter was suppressing laughter. The judge removed her glasses and fidgetted with them.

Finally he answered, "Yes, I do."
