IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIVIL DIVISION

COMES NOW Petitioner, Frederick Shaddock, appearing pro se, respectfully requesting a Finding of Fact that the real property located at 520 N Street SW, Suite S-316, Washington, DC 20024, known as the Harbour Square Owners Cooperative (“Condo”), is marital property, though currently titled solely in Respondent’s name, and states:

1. Petitioner and Respondent were married on January 17, 2001 (Exhibit A), and jointly own two properties in Washington DC and Fairfield Iowa, residing seasonally at each.

2. Under  DC Code § 16–910(2) governing assignment and equitable distribution of marital property, all real estate acquired during marriage is presumed marital property.

3. On August 16, 2006, Petitioner purchased a home at 806 N. 4th St., Fairfield, Iowa for $100,000, adding Respondent to the deed and managing rentals. He also signed a notarized statement reaffirming it as marital property (Exhibit B).

4. On October 12, 2012, Respondent purchased the Condo for $217,500 but did not add Petitioner to the title and continues to deny for 13 years that it is marital property. She limits his access and participation in Condo matters.

5. The parties jointly filed federal tax returns from their DC address from 2001 (their jointly owned Harbour Square Suite N-32) through 2024 in their larger Suite S-316.

6. Respondent’s counsel acknowledged in prior motion 2025-CAB-000953: “The parties were married when each property was purchased. That fact establishes that the properties were marital.”

7. In that motion, Respondent's counsel agreed to use the terms Petition, Petitioner, and Respondent.

8. Petitioner disputes the validity of a unilateral Quit Claim Deed, allegedly about 12 years ago (December 7, 2013) in a corrupted, unreadable PDF document.  Respondent has refused numerous requests since March 20 to produce in a valid, paper, readable document, if or when it was registered with DC.

9. Petitioner further disputes Respondent’s use of his electronic signature on a March 11, 2025 unilateral document to dismiss the Iowa divorce case CDCV402015, which still has a hearing scheduled for May 12, 2025 in Iowa.

This Petition does not seek title modification, but simply a factual determination pursuant to D.C. Code § 16–910(2) regarding marital property.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner requests this Honorable Court to issue a Finding of Fact declaring the Condo at 520 N Street SW, S-316, Washington, DC as marital property jointly owned by Frederick and Oksana Shaddock.

Respectfully submitted,
Frederick Shaddock, pro se
