IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF IOWA
IN AND FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY

COMES NOW, Petitioner, Frederick J. Shaddock, pro se, and urgently moves this Court, pursuant to Iowa Rule of Civil Procedure 1.1501, for a Temporary Restraining Order and Order for Preservation of Evidence. Petitioner is currently residing in the marital condominium in Washington, D.C., to de-escalate conflict. On September 17 around 11:00 pm, Petitioner discovered via remote desktop software and security cameras that Respondent had unlawfully entered his exclusive work area in the basement of the Iowa marital home and was actively deleting files from his computers.

I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND

1. Petitioner is currently residing at the marital property in Washington, D.C. to voluntarily stay away from Respondent who is residing of the Iowa marital home due to her propensity to threaten to, and make false accusations to 911 against him, tenants, and visitors.

2. On September 17, 2025, at approximately 11:00 pm, Petitioner, while remotely accessing his computer workstation in the basement of the Iowa home, witnessed via remote desktop software Respondent unlawfully present in his secured basement office, actively manipulating the mouse and deleting files from “Computer C09.”

3. Petitioner’s basement office was secured by a combination lock, to which Respondent was not authorized. She obtained the combination through unknown means.

4. In a effort to stop the destruction, Petitioner engaged in a "mouse competition" to regain control and was forced to log off the computer to lock Respondent out.

5. Respondent then proceeded to shut off six of Petitioner’s seven work oriented computers, deliberately sabotaging his ability to work, manage his rental business, and access critical data.

6. Petitioner’s computers contain irreplaceable data essential to his livelihood, including:

   • Financial records for the marital estate.

   • Records related to this dissolution proceeding.

   • Software and data for managing his rental business.

   • Personal and professional files.

7. On September 17, Petitioner authorized a long-time friend, Lewis Weiss, to secure the basement office to prevent further destruction of property. Respondent, who has known Mr. Weiss for years, responded by placing a false and malicious 911 call to the Fairfield Police Department in an attempt to have him arrested. After speaking with Petitioner, Officers Hackbarth and Anderson correctly determined no crime had occurred (PD# 2506061). This event demonstrates Respondent's willingness to weaponize law enforcement against even third parties to maintain control and prevent Petitioner from securing his property, further necessitating this Court's intervention.

II. GROUNDS FOR RELIEF

This conduct constitutes:

• Trespass into Petitioner’s exclusive work area.

• Intentional Destruction of Evidence relevant to ongoing litigation.

• Interference with Business and Livelihood.

• Conversion and Damage to Personal Property.
  Petitioner faces immediate and irreparable harm. The destruction of data is ongoing and cannot be remedied by monetary damages.

III. REQUESTED RELIEF

Petitioner respectfully prays that this Court immediately issue a Temporary Restraining Order:

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully prays that this Court COMPEL Respondent to comply with the following:

CEASE AND DESIST from any further contact with Law Enforcement regarding Petitioner or his authorized designees, except in the case of a bona fide emergency.

CEASE AND DESIST from accessing, interfering with, or destroying Petitioner's computer systems and data.

VACATE the Iowa marital home and reside exclusively in the Washington, D.C. condominium.

SURRENDER all keys, fobs, and access codes to the Iowa marital home to Petitioner.

PROVIDE Petitioner with all keys, fobs, and access codes to the marital Washington, D.C. condominium and Mercedes vehicle.

SHOW CAUSE why she should not be held in contempt for her recent actions.

Granting such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
/s/Frederick Shaddock
