An Australian businesswoman says her New York husband was a Wizard of Oz who duped her into marrying him.

In a $1 million Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit, Diane Smith-Gander says she met James Sias on a Colorado ski trip in 1995, and they became romantically involved. The successful businesswoman says she told Sias she only wanted a relationship with someone who had a successful career, and who’d never been married before nor had kids.

Sias told her that he was just the man — he had a successful law practice and had never been married before, the suit says. They tied the knot in 1997, and after they bounced around between Australia, Washington and New York — with Smith Gander paying their bills — he filed for divorce three years ago, the suit says.

At a deposition in their divorce case this past spring, Sias admitted he’d lied about his law career, that he’d been married twice before and had kids — and he apparently used Smith-Gander’s cash to pay $30,000 in back child support, the suit says. She’s suing for money damages, including the cash she’s spent on their divorce since they shouldn’t have been married in the first place.

Sias could not be reached and his divorce lawyer did not return a call for comment.
