You've all heard about the doctor who donated a kidney to his wife, who years later had an affair - he wanted the kidney back or $1,500,000.
Why do so many people treat this story as though the doctor thought he might get one or the other? As a divorce lawyer in North San Diego County, I have a different perspective.
The doctor wanted to embarrass his ex-wife, wanted to get sympathy or become a celebrity, got tired of the agonizingly slow divorce process, or something else. But there's no way he [or his lawyer] thought he'd get the money, and no way he'd get the kidney. He wanted the publicity, nothing else. Obviously, the story was treated as though it was real news.
Come to my world and see the stupid, offensive, self-destructive, or hilarious things people do for attention during their divorces.
