The 17 Absolute Worst Divorces Imaginable

5.

My cousin was married and had a child. I met her a few times when I was under 15 years old and they seemed alright. Years later I found out they had divorced. Apparently, in order to simplify things, my cousin's father signed over all of his worldly possessions – my uncle had collected antiques for decades, and the whole pile was worth a lot. Suddenly, wifey is depressed and wants a divorce. During divorce, she took all of their family's assets in order to leave my cousin with his kid.

My friend in high school had it really bad. Her parents divorced after publicly hating each other for most of her life. In court, they fought viciously over who would get custody of the dog. Neither of them wanted custody of their 5 children. Dad got custody of dog, Mom got custody of kids…then promptly handed the kids over to her parents (the kids' grandparents) and took off to regions unknown.

My best friend married a sociopathic gold digger. They were together for 2 years during which time she spent a shit load of his inheritance money, drugged him with valium without his consent, tried to have him sectioned, killed one of his dogs, tried to start an affair with at least 2 people I know of. She started divorce proceedings against him, accused him of raping her & had him arrested. It was later proven to be untrue so she went on to accuse his sister of child sex abuse, dragging his nieces, nephews, sister & brother-in-law into the whole thing. The police got involved & it was proven to be untrue. The whole sordid ordeal dragged on for about 2 years until she finally got him to pay her £50k.
