Nathan Wade, a former lover of Fulton County DA Fani Willis and a special prosecutor in her RICO case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants, has been rocked by a new filing in his divorce battle with his estranged wife, Joycelyn Wade. In the filing, Joycelyn alleges that Nathan Wade should be held in “contempt of court.”
As background, amidst Wade’s battle with Trump and his allies over his relationship with DA Willis and how that impacted the RICO case in a potentially problematic way, Wade faced a divorce fight with his estranged wife. Much of the subject matter in the cases was similar, as his infidelity was one of the reasons for divorce and was also at the root of the issues regarded DA Willis’ case.
In any case, in this latest filing, Joycelyn’s legal team alleges that he violated the agreement he struck in divorce proceedings with her by not paying court-ordered medical expenses of hers. The filing alleges that his non-payment contributed to her worsening condition and, as a result, the condition could “necessitate emergency intervention.”
The filing also provides that she cannot make her payments to the medical providers out of pocket and wait for reimbursement, as Nathan Wade instructed her to do, as he has reneged on other repayment and payment promises. Namely, the filing alleges that Wade did not make payments for their children’s education expenses that he had previously agreed to make. As a result of his refusal to make agreed upon payments, the filing argues that Wade should be held in “contempt of court.”
In the filing, Joycelyn’s team argued, “Defendant urgently requires medical procedures, namely an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ultrasound, due to severe physical symptoms she has been enduring. These symptoms have significantly impacted her ability to consume most foods, leading to a substantial weight loss, notwithstanding her already slender stature when in better health.”
Explaining the education issues, the filing provides, “On the day immediately following the entry of the Order on January 30, 2024, Plaintiff informed the parties’ daughter, an upperclassman in college with hopes of entering medical school in the near future, that he would discontinue payment of her rent and living expenses instructing her to ‘get the money from your mother.'” It continues, “As an additional note, Plaintiff has very punitively reneged on his commitment to cover their daughter’s MCAT expenses as well.”
Further, explaining how his non-payment impacted their son as well, the filing claims, “The parties’ son is currently in Europe, pursuing a career as a professional soccer player. Despite Plaintiff executing a verified affidavit to the country of Spain, affirming financial responsibility for his son’s expenses for visa purposes, he subsequently informed his son shortly after the Temporary Order was entered that he would no longer be providing support for him either, directing the son to ‘get the money from your mother.'”
Amidst the divorce battle, Wade is also facing an ethics complaint stemming from his relationship with DA Willis. The complaint alleges that he lied on an interrogatory, saying, “[I]t is simply not credible that Mr. Wade did not know that he had sexual relations with Ms. Willis when he replied to the interrogatories above in his divorce case. Put simply, it is clear Mr. Wade knew that he had had sex with Ms. Willis, and he knew that at the time he was still married, and he simply lied in the interrogatories”
