David Collins, AP Journalist, reports on a ten year old Connecticut Divorce Case with father embroiled in financial scandals. The father, David Zilkha, hasn't seen his twin son and daughter aged 12 now for four years. Mother, Karen Kaiser, states that Zilkha punched her in the face at one point and has also spread libelous information about her.
The judge in the family court case is Judge Michael Shay. Karen Kaiser is represented by Attorney Dori-Ellen Scheckner Feldman, while David Zilkha is represented by the firm of Lerner & Guarino, LLC.
The GAL for the children is Attorney Catharine Potter Whelan, and the Attorney for the Minor Child is Attorney Howard Ross Graber. (I hope I have this information correctly, granting how many people are listed on the case detail--it is mind boggling just looking at it!)
In the middle of this, David Zilkha is suing Attorney Norman Pattis for malpractice (some people will be very happy with that) and he is also suing Attorney Andrew Crumbie for malpractice.
In her defamation suit, Karen Kaiser is represented by Attorney Mark Daniel Sherman, and David Zilkha is again represented by the firm of Lerner & Guarino, LLC in Westport. Thus far, in the defamation case, numerous judges have ruled, so its a bit of musical judges. For more information, see the links below:

I read David Collins article. I don't know why he just mentioned one case where the GAL fees are $30,000. There are hundreds more with the fees easily going up to six digits. He barely scratched the surface of the problem!
