For most persons, divorce is an experience they would pay to forget. For actor Ben Vereen, who did just that, it cost him at least $10,000 in attorney fees.

Vereen, 70, a Tony Award-winning actor, married Andrea Townsley in 1965, when he was 18 and she was 14 and after the couple had a child. According to court papers, they separated shortly after they were married but maintained an on-again, off-again relationship for the following decade.
