Lawyer Refuses To Pay For Daughter’s Hearing Aids But Buys Diamond Ring

Talk about a dude that’s tone deaf! A prominent Manhattan lawyer bought his Playboy bunny fiancée a $215,000 diamond engagement ring – but refuses to pay for his teenage daughter’s $12,000 hearing aids. According to the New York Post, Ira Schacter, 51, who works for the powerhouse firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, is in the middle of one wicked battle with his estranged wife, Janice. Janice says that while Schacter was spending a fortune on his bombshell fiancée, Lace Rose Allenius, 26, he was ignoring a 2010 court order that gives Janice “legal decision-making” for the “physical auditory care to the extent provided by a doctor, audiologist or hearing-aids provider.” Schacter’s lawyer insists that Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Laura Drager has said he is not responsible for expenses unless he gives prior approval, which he did not. The battle continues.
