divorce advice and tales of woe

An Australian man is on trial for shooting his divorce lawyer dead after it is said that his divorce split didn’t go so well, causing him to lose his house and have difficulty with access to his daughter.

There shouldn’t be any problems for him on that score now, if he becomes a convicted murderer.

John Thomas Glascott, 44 is on trial for shooting his divorce lawyer, 56 year old David Robinson, outside his Fairfield office in 2006 when the lawyer arrived there to print off some schoolwork for his son. Supposedly Mr Robinson was shot with an old Russian pistol, using ammunition that John Thomas Glascott brought over from Cambodia.

It has been reported that Glascott’s daughter once saw a print out of a gun, and when asked about the gun Glascott said he’d planned to shoot himself dead on her birthday.

And still this guy had access to his daughter?

Please note we’ve filed this under ‘legal advice’ but wouldn’t necessarily advise anyone to actually murder their divorce lawyer. It doesn’t go down well in court, even though it probably work out cheaper in the long run.

    Clive,

    I have just come across your blog and feel I am a kindred spirit in the sense that my divorce experience also drove me to build a website. Whereas you have gone for a blog (and a good one it is too - and nice to see that you post so regularly!) I did the social network thing, my site being wikivorce.com. If you haven’t come across it yet then I think you and your readers will be genuinely interested in it (kind of a shameless plug - but at least a plug with a really good website to back it up!!). We have around 13,000 members now and tons and tons of free support, so I hope in the future we will ensure that less people have the same grief that you and i did when we went through this painful process.

    Plug over - keep up the excellent work on the blog. If you are interested to feature in Wikivorce’s featured bloggers section let me know. We have half a dozen ‘external’ bloggers and over 100 blogging about divorce on our site.
