Hiya
RSD1200, bbm I highlighted your comment because you bring up something I have been thinking about for a few months about JW's claim of legal bill 4 times greater than he anticipated.
First of all, it would have been obvious the
Mother of the child was "underage" if he was required to provide a birth certificate for S and HMR, right?? Did it ever occur to anyone that a
FALSE DATE OF BIRTH was provided to the attorney, for either S's d.o.b or HMR's d.o.b and the attorney found out when HMR's death certificate was produced? JW already knew he would be asked questions about HMR's age.....and I think he tried to hide it when he submitted the docs. (
If he were my client and I found out he lied about "age"....I'd charge 4 times more to refile the corrected documents!) I just have to say, I'm getting the feeling JW doesn't always disclose all the information in a truthful manner. Perhaps he told the attorney, "She told me she was 16 years old....I am absolutely shocked! She lied? Oh, poor me....and now I have a daughter to raise, all by myself."
Just using my imagination and "what-if" scenarios.
Because there has to be a reason he is being "squeezed" on the issue now. I think that has been "the real elephant in the room."
