IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF IOWA
IN AND FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY

Frederick Shaddock, Petitioner, pro se v. Oksana Shemet Shaddock, Respondent

Case No. CDCV402064 SUPPLEMENTAL AFFIDAVIT OF FREDERICK J. SHADDOCK IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR MEDIATION AND ORDER COMPELLING CO-SIGNATUREI

I, Frederick J. Shaddock, being duly sworn, state as follows:

1. I am the Petitioner in the above-captioned matter.
2. The parties own a marital home in Fairfield, Iowa, built in 1930. The original ceramic sewer pipes are cracked and failing, creating a persistent sewage smell in the basement and requiring expensive Roto-Rooter service every few months at $350 per visit.
3. I have obtained approval for a $12,000 zero-interest grant/loan from the Iowa AHEAD program to replace the old pipes with modern PVC piping. Drish Construction has quoted $13,500 for the work, leaving only a $1,500 out-of-pocket cost that I am willing to pay entirely.
4. Respondent initially refused to sign the necessary authorization document.
5. In order to obtain her signature, I paid Respondent the following amounts:
   • $150 on April 23, 2026
   • $400 on April 28, 2026
   • $200 on May 12, 2026
   • $150 on May 14, 2026
   • $201 on May 15, 2026 (for her time to mail the document)
   • $12.90 on May 15, 2026 (USPS postage)

   Total paid to Respondent: $1,113.90

6. Respondent finally signed and notarized the document on May 15, 2026. The approval was received by the AHEAD program on May 19, 2026.
7. Respondent is now threatening to call AHEAD and cancel the approval.
8. This refusal and subsequent threat harm the marital estate by delaying or preventing a necessary repair that would eliminate a health hazard and increase the value of the Iowa home.

I respectfully ask the Court to:

• Order the parties to participate in mediation; and
• Enter an order requiring Respondent to refrain from contacting AHEAD to cancel the approved sewer repair grant/loan, or alternatively, authorize me to proceed with the repair as a necessary preservation of marital property.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of Iowa that the foregoing is true and correct.Executed on May 20, 2026./s/ Frederick J. Shaddock
