Our Relationship
Our relationship ended in October 2009, with his admission of ‘The Other Woman’.
As you can see from these actual pictures, audio and video recordings – It got really ugly!
My Ex, his brother and his brother’s wife tried to lock me out of my house and my property.

The End Result – March 2010
I could no longer live under these conditions, so I moved out of the house in March 2010.
I hired a Civil Attorney and filed my Lawsuit for ‘Unjust Enrichment with Resulting Trust’.
My Four Year, Costly Legal Battle, ended in May 2014, with a ‘Confidential Settlement Offer’,
which won’t even cover my Legal Expenses. As usual, the Attorneys got all of the money.
I never had my day in court to tell my side of my sad, but true story – Please buy my book!

The End Result – March 2010 – Closing Arguments Poster
This Closing Arguments Poster as of March 15, 2010, pretty much sums up my Legal Case.
We lived together for 11 years as if we were married.
We both had Equal Medical Professional Incomes.
We built this house together.
My Ex got to keep EVERYTHING,
The 4,700 sq. ft. 3 Story Log Home, Mountain Top Lot 26,
Large Workshop, Fine Furniture, Motorhome, Trucks,
Tractors, Cars, Boats, Trailers & Assorted Toys.
I got out with the Sofa Bed and my Kitty.
Is this Justice?
