For example, New York Law Journal published an article written by Andrew Keshner, titled “Obstructionist Ex-Husband Ordered to Pay Wife’s Legal Fees,” which discussed Westchester Supreme Court Justice Charles Wood, who ordered Joseph Medina to pay an outstanding amount of $53,000 in fees to his ex-wife in light of his “recalcitrance and obstructionist tactics.” The article cited Justice Wood describing Joseph Medina as “the most consistently obstructive, least cooperative, cagiest, least candid witness that the court has observed.” The article noted that during the proceedings Joseph Medina “unnecessarily escalated the wife’s counsel fees.” Mr. Medina failed to comply with Court orders, fell behind on support, failed to comply with discovery requests, failed to produce financial disclosures, and showed up late to his court dates.
