Nathan Wade's estranged wife says he’s failed to pay spousal support since resigning from Fani Willis' office

The estranged wife of Nathan Wade revealed in a court filing he claims his resignation from the district attorney's office left him unable to meet court-ordered financial obligations.

According to the filing, Nathan filed an emergency motion April 8 to modify his payment agreement to Joclyn. The Fulton County Chief Financial Officer revealed Nathan was issued two checks dated three days before filing his motion, totaling $53,000.

"There appears to be no plausible explanation other than Plaintiff's deceitfulness to justify his pursuit of emergency relief from this Court on April 8, 2024, alleging essentially insolvency when he had received Fifty-Three Thousand Dollars only three (3) days prior," the document states. 

"As additional evidence of Plaintiff's lack of candor and deceit towards this Court, both checks and corresponding invoices to Fulton County pertain to work performed in October and November of 2023. Plaintiff did not resign until March 15, 2024; thus, it is reasonable to infer that there are further outstanding payments due to Plaintiff that likely have not been disbursed as of the current date."

"Workplace romances are as American as apple pie," Nathan said in an interview that aired on "Good Morning America." "It happens to everyone. But it happened to the two of us."

Asked if he regretted the relationship, Nathan said he did because it became the focus of the case.

House Republicans have invited Nathan to interview with the House Judiciary Committee, and chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio said Nathan's role in the case is too important to "go unquestioned." 

Nathan did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
