Getting served divorce papers or lawsuits is not the most ideal situation to be in, but certainly there are better times to do it than when these poor recipients got their's:

Satchel Paige - His wife served him with divorce papers while he was walking onto the field during a game at Wrigley Field.

Eddie Montgomery - He's half of the duo Montgomery Gentry, and was eating out at a Kentucky steakhouse when he was served.  He tweeted afterward, U find out u got cancer then u found out ur wife can't handle that so she seek of and files for a divorce ,,, merry christmas.

Michael Garin - The Broadway composer had been separated from his wife for four years.  But it was the timing that bothered him, since he was mid-song during a set in New York.  The next song he launched into was "Love and Marriage" by Frank Sinatra.

Speaking of Sinatra, he decided to serve then-wife Mia Farrow divorce papers in front of the whole cast and crew of Rosemary's Baby.  Mia fell to her knees and wept in front of everyone, so director Roman Polanski said the shoot would be canceled for the day.  Mia insisted on continuing and used her emotions in the scenes.

Christina Milian - She was just 9 days away from giving birth when then-husband The Dream served her papers.  Though the two were separated the timing was a little off.

Melissa Etheridge - Tammy Lynn Michaels apparently lured her estranged wife to a hotel to visit their kids.  But when Melissa arrived, all that greeted her were the divorce papers.

The Salahis - The White House gatecrashers apparently decided to walk out on a $15,000 bill at a club, so the club's lawyers found them at a premiere party for Michaele Salahi's show, Real Housewives of D.C.
