This article fails to mention that he started cheating on his disabled common law wife months before leaving her. It also doesn't mention that he ran up credit card debt in excess of $30,000 in her name leaving her to deal with it and that to date he has never paid her a penny in spousal support that was court mandated, claiming that due to the loss of his law practise he is not able to pay. 
But simply, he just got bored and tired of her and decided to throw her out like a bag of garbage, penniless and homeless knowing full well she is incapable of working for a living after a totally debilitating stroke. 
How do I know? Because that woman is my younger sister. 
His acts were meticulously planned & executed over several months. He is a sociopath, a narcissist & a thief. Nothing more. He knows the legal system & has been gaming it every day since. He has not showed one iota of remorse. He has ruined more lives than we know & yet sits there with that smug look claiming to be the victim?
