Court calls law profs' 17-year divorce fight 'appalling'

Sharlene Lassiter, now Sharlene Boltz
When they married in 1986, Christo and Sharlene Lassiter vowed to create a marriage that would last in good times and bad.

Instead, the marriage lasted 10 years – seven years less than their divorce-related legal battles. That fight has been so acrimonious that it’s resulted in rare instances of judges sharply rebuking the pair. One judge noted the ex-spouses are both law professors and, by their actions in court, are teaching future lawyers how to ignore court rules and make a mockery of the legal profession.

“I am really shocked, because when I was in law school my professors were outstanding. They never would have told me that behaving the way you all have, both of you, over the past 20 years, is acceptable behavior,” Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Leslie Ghiz told their attorneys in a July hearing.  (more, unfortunately...)
