I believe that lawyer thinks that, because Manjula is going to get alimony/child support for eight children, she's going to get a huge cash settlement -- which also means a sizable amount of cash for him. Here in the States, many lawyers work on contingency, which means they only get paid if you win -- but they get paid a percentage of the judgment.

This particular lawyer is really Lionel Hutz in another disguise, except that they can't use Hutz anymore since Phil Hartman was murdered by his wife.

That, and Hutz doesn't work on contingency: "Works on contingency? No, money down!"
