“With the income from [Wade’s] employement as the Special Prosecutor no longer coming in, and with income from [his] private practice being diminished, [he] is no longer able to … meet the financial obligations set forth in the temporary order,” Wade’s divorce lawyer M. Scott Kimbrough wrote in papers filed Monday. ...

During the investigation into his affair, it was revealed he had made over $700,000 while working for the DA, and had spent thousands on lavish trips for himself and Fani to the Caribbean, Central America and California.

However, he is now seeking an emergency hearing to lower his spousal support, expenses and the financial obligations he agreed to pay Joycelyn in a temporary settlement reached Jan. 30 in the Cobb County divorce case.
