The Lawsuits are from Ambulance Chasers IMHOAmbulance Chasers are those lawyers who think they can make a buck by proposing legal action to a bunch of folks who might be upset. There's no assurance that they will win their case or not however the lawyer is assured to make some amount of money one way or the other.
For you young bucks out there... keep this in mind if you ever get tied up in a legal battle during a divorce. The lawyers would love to see you battle it out with your ex over anything from your pets to your coffee table and by the time you are done paying the bills you will neither be able to afford dog food nor will you be able to afford a place to keep that coffee table... your lawyer on the other hand will be able to afford another $10,000 suit and tie...
