It concerned myself and another person, and we owned a house together that we lived in.
It dragged out for a year, with her trying to force me to sell the house and split what little money it would net us.
Part of her motivation was that I wanted to keep the house.
I ended up buying her out for a fair price to both of us.
When the lawyers and the two of us set down together, I remember the last conversation she had with her lawyer.
She said, Can’t we get a better deal?
He looked at her and said, His lawyer is a lot more expensive than I am.
Cost me about 5% of what I eventually gained from the house.
Getting the best lawyer at what ever price necessary is usually a winning situation.
I like your story, very entertaining!

Wifey’s lawyers were such utter sleazeballs that they actually tried that line on ME, right there at the settlement conference.
“Ms. Dragon Lady must be costing you a great deal of money Mr. Angkor. Lots of subpoenae and discovery here.”
“Yes, she is. A lot. But your client will be paying the bill, and I’ll fight this right down to her very last penny.”
Whoops.
