—M. Pamela Lauser, Susan Dutcher’s current lawyer, doubts Dutcher will succeed. “Nobody held a gun to his head,” she said of his drunk driving arrest. “Nobody forced him to drink.... The guy was drunk and he was driving. How is that a dirty DUI?”—
Well, a lot of what happens in family court is discressionary. When the court hears what happened to him, I suspect he will get everything reversed. The fact that is ex is trying to make it stick is dispicable.
On a side note, a friend of mine, after his wife goaded him to hit her to no effect, learned from her that her attorney for the divorce she was ABOUT TO FILE, told her that if she could get him to hit her and get a domestic violence call into police, it would really help her divorce case.
Interestingly, a year later, my then wife tried the same thing with me. Out of the blue she started yelling and came up to me and pushed me in the chest so hard that she fell backwards as one pushing off a wall. Unfortunately for her, my argument style is very similar to Mr. Spocks. Heck, maybe that’s why she divorced me. :-D
There are ENTIRE WEB SITES dedicated to telling women how to set up their husband for a domestic violence charge to help them in a divorce.
Mine tried that- unfortunately for her I was in my attorney’s office, on the phone with the judge (trying to set up a court date) when she claimed it happened.
Did not go well for her after that, until the next idiot liberal judge took over.
We must be related.
Fortunately for me, I seem to have found my own "Nurse Chapel".
