IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF IOWA
IN AND FOR JEFFERSON COUNTY

NOW COMES Petitioner, Frederick J. Shaddock, pro se, and respectfully moves this Court to waive the requirement for mediation and set an expedited final hearing for the dissolution of this marriage. In support thereof, Petitioner states:

1. Inevitability of Dissolution: The parties were married on January 17, 2001 yet have initiated divorce proceedings on approximately ten (10) separate occasions since 2004.  Reconciliation is impossible. Further delay only prolongs the immense financial and emotional harm to both parties.

2. Financial and Physical Detriment: Each additional day of litigation worsens the parties' financial stability, emotional health, and physical well-being. Both parties suffer from hypertension, a condition severely exacerbated by the ongoing conflict, making a swift resolution a matter of health necessity. 

3. Futility of Mediation: The parties have previously attempted mediation without success. Given the complete breakdown of the relationship and the current state of "financial war," any delay for further mediation would be pointless, expensive, and futile. Neither party can afford the cost, and it would serve only to deplete marital assets further.   Petitioner and Respondent cannot afford to pay their attorneys, relying on free Artificial Intelligence.

4. Clear Path for Property Division: A fair and logical division of the major marital assets has been evident for years, and can be decided by the Court without mediation:

   • Petitioner shall be awarded the Fairfield, Iowa marital home. Petitioner has solely paid the mortgage, with full assumption in process to remove Oksana's name, and has deep community ties (education, healthcare) in Iowa. Respondent's harassment of Petitioner's rental guests, including threats to call 911 on them for no reason, makes her continued presence and financial sabotage detrimental.  Petitioner has 18 computers in the house basement on high speed internet with Liberty Communications that he needs for his livelihood.  Petitioner filed a motion to prevent her from sabotaging his business, turning off computers, deleting data, and spying on his divorce related files.

   • Respondent shall be awarded the Washington, D.C. condominium. Respondent has a strong employment history with large companies and organizations in Washington, D.C.  If necessary she can take in a room mate to help pay the $1200 monthly fee.  The condo already contains her furniture and belongings including closets packed with clothes that would cost thousands to UHaul to Fairfield, where she has only a few suit cases of clothes.  Petitioner agrees to safely store her remaining items and ship them to DC as requested.  Awarding her the condo allows her to most easily re-establish her life independently.

5. Urgent Need for Finality: The current limbo prevents both parties from moving forward. Petitioner cannot secure his livelihood in Iowa, and Respondent cannot pursue employment opportunities in DC. A final decree is the only way to end the toxicity and allow both individuals to begin recovery.

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

A. Waiving the requirement for mediation in this matter as futile and contrary to the parties' health and financial interests.
B. Setting an expedited final hearing on the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage within thirty (30) days.
C. Granting such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper.

Respectfully submitted,
