I feel like a voyeur. I’ve been reading the decision by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Laura Drager in the divorce case of Ira S. v. Janice S.—and I can’t put it down.
“Ira S.” is Ira Schacter, a partner at Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft, and “Janice S.” is his estranged wife. As you might recall, I wrote about Schacter over two years ago, when he was 51 and splashed all over the tabloids for refusing to pay $12,000 for his teenage daughter’s hearing aid, while shelling out $215,000 on an engagement ring for his then 26-year-old girlfriend. I had fun with those juicy facts at the time, though the whole thing also struck me as rather sad.
