'You out-lawyered the lawyer': Divorced ex demands years of receipts, cue malicious compliance

This guy created a nightmare scenario at this lawyers' office – but at least they got a good laugh out of it! 

Every couple going through a divorce is different, and this couple unfortunately went through a "heated divorce/custody battle." As u/FederalAnt9 wrote to r/MaliciousCompliance, their ex kept demanding more and more money — she thought that the OP was stashing money away elsewhere, while the OP could barely afford food each day. While the lawyer didn't necessarily mean to hassle this person, lawyers have a job to do as well. The lawyers' job was to defend the OP's ex, so he wasn't exactly going to make it easy for the OP. 

However, this person had a crafty idea up their sleeve. Since the lawyer asked for three whole years' worth of financial documents, the OP decided to send that in the most devious and annoying way possible. In the comments, people were celebrating this person's ingenuity, though I do grieve for the trees that were wasted in printing out so very many revenge papers. 

After you read this story below, check out this highly under qualified boss who just didn't understand why she couldn't fix a live wire safely.
