The former special prosecutor who was involved in the Georgia election case targeting former President Donald Trump is accused of not paying child support.
The former special prosecutor who was involved in the Georgia election case targeting former President Donald Trump is accused of not paying child support and for his estranged wife’s medical bills, according to an application for citation of contempt submitted on Wednesday by his estranged wife.
Last month, Nathan Wade resigned from the Trump election case after Fulton County Judge McAfee gave Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis an ultimatum to either remove herself or Mr. Wade from the case. It came in response to allegations that Ms. Willis and Mr. Wade engaged in a clandestine relationship during the case, which the pair ultimately confirmed.
Mr. Wade’s estranged wife, Jocelyn Wade, accused him of failing to pay child support and more than $4,000 for her urgent medical procedure, according to divorce filing submitted by Ms. Wade in Cobb County, Georgia.
“Defendant urgently requires medical procedures, namely an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ultrasound, due to severe physical symptoms she has been enduring,” according to the new filing. “These symptoms have significantly impacted her ability to consume most foods, leading to a substantial weight loss.”
Her medical condition is allegedly getting worse, according to her filing. She might need an “emergency intervention” in the near future, it added.
The reason why the medical bills are important, Ms. Wade contended, is that Mr. Wade allegedly stopped paying his child support for their two children and put a financial strain on her family.
The “sudden cessation of support” for their children means that she has an income of less than $1,000 per month, it said. Further, Ms. Wade wrote that she can’t work due to her poor health condition.
The latest divorce filing, however, noted that the court doesn’t have jurisdiction over their “young adult children” but added that she “lacks the financial means to cover the medical procedure repayment.”
The expenses also include payments that Mr. Wade allegedly had promised to his children after he separated from his wife, her filing said. It also claimed that he told his son he would send money to him in Europe, where he is pursuing a career as a professional soccer player, and also refused to pay his daughter’s rent.
