IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF IOWA
IN AND FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY

NOW COMES Petitioner, Frederick J. Shaddock, pro se, and respectfully moves this Court for an Order granting the parties a legal separation and awarding exclusive use of one marital home to each party—specifically, the Iowa marital home to Petitioner and the Washington, DC condominium to Respondent, or vice versa—in order to ensure the safety, well-being, and financial stability of both parties during the pendency of this dissolution in accordance with Iowa Code § 598.21(5). In support thereof, Petitioner states:

1. IMMEDIATE THREAT OF FALSE ALLEGATIONS AND INTIMIDATION: Respondent has a documented history of making false allegations to law enforcement against Petitioner, resulting in his arrest on or about July 20, 2024, a case which was later dismissed. Never punished for this waste of Law resources, she continues to threaten to make false reports to have Petitioner arrested. Most egregiously, she has explicitly threatened to weaponize the court process itself, stating on many camera recordings, such as August 27, 2025: “Don’t blame me if you end up in jail.” and today at 8:30 pm " I will go to Police and report you...You have to live in jail."
Exhibit A: Dismissal of False Accusation of Assault
Exhibit B: Video transcript and link to recording of Respondent confession to stealing laptop then lying
Exhibit C: Video transcript and link to recording of Respondent threatening to call Police for no reason

2. PATTERN OF EXTORTION AND HARASSMENT: Respondent engages in a pattern of extortionate threats to control Petitioner and sabotage his life. She has been recorded threatening to harm Petitioner’s professional reputation, falsely accuse him of crimes, and harass his guests. This conduct violates Iowa Code § 711.4(3)b.   Petitioner observes that Respondent exhibits extreme and unpredictable behavioral shifts, oscillating between a pleasant demeanor and an aggressive, vengeful persona whose stated intent is to have Petitioner jailed for tactical advantage in divorce.
Exhibit D: Video history of Respondent's threats and fake calls to Police  911FakeCalls.com

3. ECONOMIC SABOTAGE & BAD FAITH: Respondent has engaged in a calculated pattern of economic sabotage. On or about June 4, 2025, she voluntarily moved from the Washington, DC condominium to the Iowa marital home for the specific purpose of occupying the largest and most rentable room, thereby making it impossible for Petitioner to generate income from it. She then refused to pay the promised $400 per month contribution towards the household expenses, all while concealing the $2,200 in monthly rental income she collects from the DC property.
Exhibit E: Text messages with DC tenant Eli Rosenthal with $2200/month payment

4. INTERFERENCE WITH PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP: Respondent's behavior has intentionally damaged Petitioner's familial relationships. She has actively prevented Petitioner's 17-year-old son, Lukas, from visiting from Sweden during his summer vacation. Through a campaign of harassment and hostility, Respondent has successfully alienated Petitioner from his child, causing profound emotional distress.
Exhibit F: Petitioner's son Lukas and mother Marie kept away by Respondent

5. THEFT AND DECEPTION: On August 28, a laptop was delivered by FedEx, addressed to Petitioner.  Upon discovering it missing, Petitioner asked Respondent if she knew its whereabouts.  She stated, "No."  On September 6, Petitioner subsequently located the stolen property intentionally hidden under Respondent's luggage in her bedroom. Respondent later confessed to taking and hiding the laptop on a recorded camera, without apology, remorse, or justification.
Exhibit G: Respondent stole Petitioner's laptop then lied about it  - video
Exhibit H: Transcript of Exhibit G video

6. UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT OF PROPERTY & EXTORTION: Respondent is unlawfully confining Petitioner to the Iowa marital home by denying him all access to the Washington, DC condominium and the marital Mercedes vehicle. She refuses to provide keys to the elevator, suite, and car, and she shouts false accusations of "assault" or "thief" when he attempts to retrieve them. This is causing direct professional and financial harm, forcing Petitioner to incur costly hotel and rental car expenses for an upcoming conference he is attending as an invited speaker in Washington, DC, from September 10-13, 2025, despite the availability of marital assets. 
Exhibit I: Petitioner invited to speak at Conference in DC September 10-13

7. HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE: Respondent has created a hostile and intolerable living environment through a sustained pattern of psychological abuse and criminal extortion. On a near-daily basis, she threatens to fabricate allegations and call law enforcement. Petitioner observes that Respondent exhibits signs of a severe personality disorder, oscillating between a pleasant demeanor and a "mean personality" whose sole intent is to have Petitioner jailed for tactical advantage. This constant, severe stress is detrimental to the physical health of both parties, exacerbating hypertension and accelerating aging.  Again today she threw a tantrum. 
Exhibit J: Oksana throwing tantrum and items in kitchen

8. PETITIONER'S COMMUNITY AND HEALTH TIES: Granting Petitioner exclusive use of the marital home is necessary to maintain his stability and well-being. Petitioner is an active continuing education student at Maharishi International University, directly across the street, where he attends classes and group meditation sessions critical to his routine. Furthermore, his healthcare, including ongoing treatment for high blood pressure, a condition that is directly aggravated by the stress of Respondent's harassment, is managed locally through Jefferson County Health Center. Displacing Petitioner would sever these essential community ties and disrupt his critical medical care.
Exhibit K: Petitioner has High Blood Pressure aggravated by Respondent

9. RESPONDENT'S AVAILABLE ALTERNATIVE RESIDENCE: Respondent has full, exclusive, and rent-free access to a vacant, luxury marital condominium in Washington, DC, a city where she has worked since 2001 and has significantly greater job prospects and social ties than in Fairfield, Iowa. Her removal to this property imposes no financial hardship and is a practical solution for all parties.   Or Petitioner is ready to go to the DC condo as soon as she gives me my keys.
Exhibit L: Harbour Square luxury condo and Mercedes Benz

10. IRREPARABLE HARM: Every day Petitioner is forced to cohabitate with Respondent, he is at immediate risk of false arrest, loss of liberty, destruction of his reputation, loss of income, deterioration of his health, and now, direct financial harm from unnecessary conference expenses. No amount of monetary damages can remedy this harm.  The status quo is untenable. Only an immediate court-ordered separation can end this irreparable harm.

Petitioner is prepared to effectuate this separation immediately. Upon the Court's Order, or upon Respondent's simple agreement to comply with the spirit of this Motion, Petitioner is ready to take the next available flight to Washington, DC, the moment Respondent provides him with the keys to the marital condo, building elevators, and Mercedes-Benz C230.

To maximize flexibility and minimize further conflict, Petitioner also proposes the parties could formally agree to take turns residing in the Iowa home, alternating on a monthly or quarterly basis at the Respondent's election, until the final divorce decree determines the permanent distribution of assets. This would ensure both parties have access to their belongings and shared assets while maintaining the necessary physical separation for safety and well-being.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully prays that this Court enter an Order:

A. (Primary Relief) Granting the parties a legal separation and awarding exclusive use of the Iowa marital home to Petitioner and the Washington, DC condominium to Respondent; or, in the alternative,

B. (Alternative Relief 1) Awarding exclusive use of the Iowa marital home to Respondent and the Washington, DC condominium to Petitioner; or, in the alternative,

C. (Alternative Relief 2) Ordering a structured alternating equal-time schedule for use of the Iowa home, allowing Respondent to choose the months she is in Iowa, to ensure physical separation.

D. Ordering Respondent to immediately provide Petitioner with all keys, fobs, and access codes necessary for the full use and enjoyment of the Washington, DC condominium and the Mercedes-Benz C230.

E. Ordering that Petitioner shall be solely responsible for the mortgage and utilities for the Iowa home, and Respondent shall be solely responsible for the condo fees for the DC property, effective immediately;

F. Waiving any requirement for marital counseling or mediation, prolonging the suffering, as futile and contrary to the parties’ health and safety.
    Exhibit M: Previous mediation certificate accomplished to no end
    Exhibit N:  8 divorce proceedings since 2007

G. (DC Conference -Specific Relief)
Petitioner requests an emergency hearing on this matter no later than September 9, 2025, given the Conference begins September 10, 2025 for which he is an invited speaker.

H. Enjoining Respondent from making non-emergency contact with Law Enforcement regarding Petitioner.

I. Granting any other further relief the Court deems just.

Respectfully submitted,
