From the Paper:

"My father, on the other hand, perhaps due to his greater financial resources, seemed to have a different kind of attorney, the kind who actually prepared for court, as well as seemed to have some grasp of what he was doing. You see, according to my mother, while she made her best showing in professional attire (no matter that she worked the night shift in a grocery store and purchased her getup at Goodwill), my father, who was at the time living in style with his new mistress, showed up in a faded work shirt and threadbare blue jeans. As my mother tells it, she went home without the child support increase she so desperately needed, burned the unused documents, notes, and receipts she had so carefully prepared for her "useless" attorney, and cried herself to sleep in her secondhand suit."
