Man Blames Divorce On Noise From SFO

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

PhillipCSan Francisco divorce attorneys know that most divorces come down to infidelity, irreconcilable differences or other problems between the two spouses, but one Bay Area man is blaming his recent divorce on an entirely different problem –the San Francisco International Airport. Stanley Hilton is now suing the airport for $15 million, claiming he would still be married if it weren’t for the noise from the jet engines landing at the airport.

“The marriage went downhill almost immediately upon moving to this location,” Hilton said in an interview with The San Mateo County Times reported. “The house became extremely uncomfortable with the smog and the noise, and it caused enormous problems that led to the divorce.”

He also claims the noise from the planes, which he compared to bombs dropping on a war zone, caused his health and career to suffer as well. Hilton, an ex-litigation lawyer, will be representing himself in the suit.
