BTW, it's also going to be ugly for Athay. Can you imagine what a nightmare it is for a lawyer whose client tells him nothing but lies?
Lol, reminds me of my ex. There was a switch of attorneys mid stream on his side. I found out a year later what he told his co workers about the reason for the divorce. This would account for his attorney quitting. Why would you file first and give your lying, cheating wife sole custody of the minor children???
His next lawyer was an elderly man who promised, when asked by the judge about the QDRO, that they would take care of it. It still hasn't been taken care of. That's okay, we're moving back up to the court's jurisdiction area. When things settle down, I'll take care of it.
Like my Grandma said, "a liar is worse than a thief, because a liar can cause an innocent man to hang".
I hope Mr. Athay can convince his client to finally do the right thing.
