I agree to the requested continuance of the hearing to June 22, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.

 
Regarding the scheduled mediation session:

 
Neither Oksana nor I can afford mediation (or divorce) at this time. Oksana currently has no job (since January 2025) and no renter for the DC condo. I am also extremely busy with my job and often (like now) have to work late into the night to complete my responsibilities.

 
Just today construction starts on modernizing our Iowa house's 1930 water exit (sewer) cracked ceramic pipes  into modern white PVC plastic pipes, a $13950 project.

 
I therefore respectfully request that mediation be postponed until Oksana obtains employment in Washington, DC, at which time we can revisit the issue and determine whether mediation is feasible and appropriate.

 
Thank you.
Respectfully,
Frederick J. Shaddock

Mr. Shaddock,

 

Please confirm that you plan to contact Mr. Herbold’s office and make arrangements so that mediation can proceed tomorrow as scheduled.

Attorneys are supposed to advise what is best for their client. Instead of advising Oksana to simply cooperate with her husband, she was advised by Mr. Liotta to try to own 100% of marital property which is on 50% by the husband and wife.

 

Since 2007 she has paid Robert Liotta and other attorneys so much money for 10 divorce proceedings that she now does not have enough money to afford to live in the DC condo and has to rent it out and come to stay with me at our house in Fairfield Iowa.

 

Despite being pretty her uncooperative attitude has made her unattractive. Naturally, this has made me attracted to pretty and cooperative ladies in Fairfield, who would never even think of hiring an attorney over domestic disputes.

 

Time and money that could have been spent raising children to continue our DNA and inherit our real estate has been used up on internal friction and nearly constant legal battles.

 

And October 2025 I offered to simply stop the divorce and end the self-destructive nonsense. Here we are with expense.  Yet here we are facing yet another legal expense. What is this supposed to accomplish? Oksana has been without a job since January 2025 and this will only put her further into financial debt.

Hello All,

 

Great! I have attached our agreement to mediate form for both parties to complete. The Agreement outlines information such as process, expectations, Nick’s role as mediator, and fees for the service.

 

Next, we require a deposit for a 2-hour session, split 50/50 between the parties, unless otherwise agreed upon. If the session is shorter than 2 hours, we will refund the remaining deposit, and if it is longer than 2 hours, we will charge each party their share of the additional fees. Nick’s hourly rate is $300 and gets tracked by the tenth of the hour. Please have both clients pay the deposit here: https://secure.lawpay.com/pages/herboldlaw/operating

June 10 is fine with me.

It seems like the remaining issues are resolved. 

I agree to not to go our marital DC condo when Oksana has rented it because she takes care of our DC property's $1200 condo fee.

while I take care of our Fairfield Iowa house,

and she agrees to not disturb my tenants, needed to help pay for the mortgage and utilities which comes to about $1200 as well. 

 

We are just living separately about half the year, and together the other half, which has worked for us for many years. 

 

Frederick
