When they married in 1986, Christo and Sharlene Lassiter vowed to create a marriage that would last in good times and bad.Instead, the marriage lasted 10 years – seven years less than their divorce-related legal battles. That fight has been so acrimonious that it’s resulted in rare instances of judges sharply rebuking the pair. One judge noted the ex-spouses are both law professors and, by their actions in court, are teaching future lawyers how to ignore court rules and make a mockery of the legal profession....MORETheir children are 20 and 17.

Judgement was for the plaintiff.
