But not often does one see the wife's name first. My ex-wife, Marti Cline, and I were defrauded in a Truth in Lending Act violation and filed suit against the car dealership.
The attorney filed the case as "Martha Cline et ux vs. Springfield Toyota." I told him his Latin wasn't up to snuff and he just smiled and said, "We're here to win this case, not quibble over whether ux. means wife or the spouse of the other person." He was right and we did win the case. They actually changed the interest rate disclosure after we signed the paperwork. And they used a different typewriter!
