Love might be a battlefield, but divorce for one New Jersey couple adds a definite element of playground free-for-all: As the Daily Record reports, Francis and Diane Wagner divorced in July 2014, with the latter agreeing to pay the "nonworking" former $186.04 a week for six years in order to get out of the 10-year marriage, as she didn't have money to afford a divorce trial. Diane Wagner is now fighting cancer and says she's financially strapped, though a judge dismissed her motion to reduce alimony payments, which she says she pays "religiously." She also religiously fills in the memo line of the weekly checks with notes such as "bum," "loser," and "alimony/adult child support." Francis Wagner, apparently unamused and fragile, is suing her for harassment and infliction of emotional distress.
"As far as I'm concerned I can write anything I want on the memo line because it's a note to myself," Diane Wagner tells the Daily Record. "I was the victim in that marriage. What more blood does he want from me?"
The lawsuit states that Wagner then started writing the acronym FOAD in the memo line. The complaint alleges that FOAD means "F*** off and die."
Diane Wagner said the acronym is her private notation to herself, not an expletive. Francis Wagner could not immediately be reached.
