Divorce lawyer says Fani Willis, Nathan Wade had romance

In her first sit-down interview, Andrea Hastings, the attorney of Joycelyn Wade, spoke with 11Alive.

ATLANTA — The attorney representing the estranged wife of Trump special prosecutor Nathan Wade gave her first sit-down interview with 11Alive Wednesday afternoon. 

Andrea Hastings, who represents Joycelyn Wade, described the headline-grabbing divorce proceedings against the man tapped by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to help lead the ongoing prosecution of former President Donald Trump and 14 others for alleged election interference. 

The Cobb County divorce case became embroiled in the controversy surrounding the election trial after a Trump codefendant alleged that Nathan Wade and Willis were engaged in an improper romantic relationship and misused taxpayer funds.

Hastings told 11Alive that she did not coordinate her filings with efforts to disqualify Willis from the racketeering case. Similar legal maneuvers were made on the same day in both cases earlier this month.

No collusion between prosecutor’s wife, Trump defendants

In one of her first interviews since a temporary settlement was reached in the long-running divorce case, Hastings took aim at the hard-nosed strategy employed by Fani Willis as the Fulton district attorney sought to quash a subpoena seeking her testimony.

Hastings said she considered it a threat when the DA said in a court filing Joycelyn Wade was “obstructing and interfering” with the Trump case. The attorney also suggested that she released Nathan Wade’s credit card statements when she did in response to Willis’ tack.

“She really went too far,” Hastings said of Willis. “I perceived what was represented in her motion as untruths, and I decided to meet those with facts.”

The divorce battle emerged last month as a sideshow to the Trump case after an attorney for Mike Roman, one of the defendants in the election case, accused Willis of financially benefitting from a secret relationship with

Alberta family lawyer offering a simpler, friendlier way to divorce

An Edmonton lawyer is paving the way for a more streamlined, faster, cheaper and more co-operative model of divorce. The approach, being offered as a pilot project in Alberta, uses one lawyer jointly for the couple.

It’s the first time this method has been offered in Canada — in fact, it’s believed to be a first for all of North America.

Instead of having each person retain their own lawyer and then battle it out in court, this process has the two people meet with one lawyer together and work out a divorce agreement that works for everyone.

“The dominant thinking in the movies and TV is … you get that big shark and you go (to war), but ultimately family law is about families,” said Melissa Bourgeois with One Family Law.

“Families kind of band together in days like today, where we don’t actually want to fight.

Attorney urges resolution for Bávaro-Punta Cana accident victims to safeguard legal security



Punta Cana.- The defense attorney representing the victims of the Bávaro-Punta Cana accident, which occurred on October 6, 2022, has urged judicial authorities to pursue the case to its conclusion. Carlos de Jesús, an expert in civil litigation, emphasized the need for a concrete legal response to establish the compensation owed to the victims. The tragic incident resulted in five fatalities and 47 injuries, with many victims suffering dismemberments, mutilations, and severe damages.

De Jesús expressed concern over the delayed resolution of the case, citing its impact on the victims who have not yet received compensation for the financial burdens incurred after the accident. He highlighted the permanent injuries, medical expenses, and mental health issues suffered by the affected tourists.

The attorney stressed that the case has faced delays due to technicalities and called for an exemplary sentence to maintain a climate of legal security and investment in the Dominican
