That advice is terrible from a moral perspective but I have seen it bring people to the table for negotiations. When my Uncle was getting divorced, both parties had agreed on the settlement amount, the monthly maintenance and who would keep the children (my aunt). She took a second opinion from one of her relatives who was a career criminal and he advised her to file a fake case against my parents accusing them of kicking her out of her house even though she left of her own volition after locking her house herself, to bring us back to the negotiating table to demand more money. It did a number on my parents and we had to compromise.
