The legal battle continues between Nathan Wade, the former special prosecutor in the high-profile election interference case, and his estranged wife, Joycelyn Wade. In a recent turn of events, Joycelyn has taken her grievances to the Georgia courts, alleging that Nathan has consistently defaulted on spousal and child support payments since stepping down from his post at the Fulton County District Attorney's office.
According to a court filing from this past Friday obtained by FOX 5 Atlanta, Joycelyn claims Nathan's resignation was brought on by the resulting turmoil of an alleged affair with DA Fani Willis, and has since claimed a significant change in circumstances. Despite this claim, records show that Nathan received two checks totaling $53,000 just days before filing an emergency motion to alter payment obligations to his wife.
A motion filed on April 8 suggests that Nathan is facing financial insolvency, a claim that stands in stark contrast to the earnings revealed in the court documentation. "There appears to be no plausible explanation other than Plaintiff's deceitfulness to justify his pursuit of emergency relief from this Court on April 8, 2024," the document contends, as reported by FOX 5 Atlanta.
Adding to the strife, Joycelyn Wade alleges that the financial abandonment by her husband, with whom she made an agreement earlier this year regarding the divorce, has exacerbated her health woes. An urgent need for medical procedures, including an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ultrasound, has been neglected, leading to "severe physical symptoms" and significant weight loss, according to the divorcee. She elaborated on the gravity of her condition in the court documents obtained by Atlanta News First.
In the midst of these personal disputes, Nathan Wade has spoken out about his "workplace romance" with Fani Willis, which he described as "American as apple pie" in an interview with ABC News’ Linsey Davis. Despite the drama and legal challenges at hand, Nathan's professional entanglements are set to continue as he has been invited to interview with the House Judiciary Committee, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
