In a challenging divorce case involving a husband who traveled frequently for work and a stay-at-home wife with three children, our team achieved a successful resolution at mediation.
Upon learning of the impending divorce, the wife attempted to undermine the husband’s relationship with the children, including efforts to fabricate claims for a protective order. Compounding the situation, the wife was involved in an extramarital relationship that was not initially apparent.
Recognizing the importance of fault in the alimony determination, the attorney meticulously gathered evidence, including recorded conversation transcripts and other documentation highlighting the wife’s actions. This evidence was strategically incorporated into the case filings, effectively communicating the wife’s fault to opposing counsel.
As a result, the mediation led to a favorable outcome concerning alimony. While the husband’s obligation remained, the terms were significantly improved—approximately 40% better than what might have been expected without the influence of the wife’s fault.
