Cook County judge says bankruptcy doesn’t mean man gets out of jail without paying divorce lawyers – Cook County Record

Calling it a "Christmas present," a Cook County family court judge said she would allow a River Forest businessman out of jail for the holidays - if he can come up with $300,000 in cash, and agree to be on electronic home monitoring, until he manages to pay $200,000 more to satisfy the judge's prior orders to begin paying off $1.6 million in legal bills racked up by him and his ex-wife during a long, contentious divorce proceeding.

Welcome to River Forest wives and mothers, not for the faint of heart.

Article fails to mention that ex-wife’s attorney is/was also her boyfriend.

Not sure why a successful trial lawyer would become romantically involved with his own client, who has seven young children of her own and going through a really, really messy divorce, but I suppose some people thrive off drama. I thought maybe she looked like Helen of Troy or something, but not so much.

Imagine being a millionaire developer in a big city like Chicago, but having your personal life be such a complete mess, with a vindictive ex-wife, seven screwed up kids, millions of dollars in legal bills, bankruptcies. What a complete mess.
