The divorce battle that provided the first oral arguments in the new Nathan Deal Judicial Center Tuesday has been going on for longer than the construction of the six-story, $131 million home for the Georgia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.

The job of telling that long story before a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals fell to William V. “Bill” Custer of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner. He represents Debra Gray King, founder of the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry in Sandy Springs. She filed in October 2016 for a divorce from Sandy Springs lawyer Daniel Rosson King. They had been married for 25 years and have three adult children.
