Scandal-hit special prosecutor Nathan Wade has been accused of contempt of court by his estranged wife in a new divorce filing.
Joycelyn Wade made the accusation in court papers filed Wednesday claiming that her former partner had failed to pay $4,400 worth of her medical bills.
‘Defendant urgently requires medical procedures, namely an endoscopy, colonoscopy, and ultrasound, due to severe physical symptoms she has been enduring,’ the filings state.
‘These symptoms have significantly impacted her ability to consume most foods, leading to a substantial weight loss.’
Wade was appointed by Fulton County DA Fani Willis to manage her prosecution of Donald Trump for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss.

Wade and Willis later had an affair, with Trump’s team claiming their prosecution of him was biased and unprofessional.
Willis’ conduct was examined during sensational hearings, with Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ultimately slamming her for a ‘tremendous lapse in judgment’ and for acting in an ‘unprofessional manner’.
However, she escaped with just a slap on the wrist, after McAfee dramatically ruled she could stay on the Trump election interference case in Georgia if Wade removes himself.
In her filings, Jocelyn states that Wade has violated a Temporary Order issued by the court necessitating his payment of her medical bills.
She adds that she herself is unable to pay the bills due to Wade’s ‘sudden cessation of support’ for their children, which has left her monthly income at less than $1,000 a month, per the documents.,
Jocelyn’s lawyers state her health means she is currently unable to work, which is exacerbating the situation.
They claim that her request to Wade for prepayment of her medical expenses has been denied and that he has told her he will reimburse.
However, Jocelyn claims her medical provider will not schedule any appointment without prepayment.
