Judge Joel Yates: In terms of my understanding of the file, we're technically here on Mr. Shadlock's October 10th motion to convert this to a separate maintenance. I was waiting to hear Mr. Pavlo's position. Uh we now have that and I just need to confirm you do resist the motion. Correct?
Pavelich: That's correct, your honor.
Okay. Well, as long as I mean this is my as close as we get to a Yates philosophy in a situation like this unless until both parties are going to agree to this uh it's a denied motion uh because it would take both parties to agree to it to uh convert this. So the motion is not going to be granted. So questions comments on that?
Frederick: Well, well, yes, your honor. The main purpose this is for equal marital rights. I bought the Iowa home in 2006 and immediately granted access to sauna.
Judge: We're not going down this road.
It's you filed the motion, the other side resists. It's not going to be granted.
You're the one who started the divorce. I'm not going to convert this to
something else if the other side resists it and they resist it. So there there's
not we're not going to get into facts here. The motion is denied.
Frederick: Okay.
Judge: Now technically that's all we have today and I'm assuming
that's all we can or should address. Although I know there's now another pending
motion. Mr. Pavage, you have responded to that.
I don't know if we want to try to address that or it needs to be set for hearing
later.
Pavelich: Your honor, I would rather not address that this
morning. There were um about 12 attachments attached to that motion.
I believe the entire motion should be denied. Um, but uh I'd rather have that
reset if we need to if the court believes there needs to be a hearing in part
because I'm participating today from the Johnson County Courthouse waiting for
other hearings on my docket and so I would rather do that one if we have it to
assume where I can participate visually as well.
Judge: Well, it's it's a situation where again we've addressed the only thing that was pending today. I understand Mr. public position. Uh it is a new motion. I will plan to set that for hearing uh sometime in uh December then.
Frederick: Yeah, this is a motion for equal marital property rights declaration. So, you know, Oxana is under an impression and I think given by the DC attorney that she can have 100% property rights of the DC condo but and 50% of the Iowa House, which I'm sharing, but she's not sharing in reverse. I came here to DC in the condo for a as an invited speaker at a conference also included Senator Ron Johnson, Congressman Dennis Kinet. A great opportunity and Axana refused my elevator key fob. So basically I was get into the condo unit but I couldn't go up and down the elevator and this has got to stop. This has been going on for 13 years and I've always, you know, given in and said, "Okay, dear. Yes, the DC condo is yours and Iowa House is is both ours." But now it's interfering with my career and my uh, you know, health. I I'm supposed to go to the gym every day. According to the doctor, I can't get to that, you know, our be beautiful condo gym and swimming pool. So, uh, she's not doing what the Harbor Square management wants, which requires her to do by the bylaws and what other marital did you understand that we're not substantively going to address this today?
Judge: Okay, that's unfortunate, but this is, you know, the reason for the marital dispute. If you can in any way, shape or form address this outside of my involvement, great. Otherwise, I will set this for hearing sometime in uh December. Okay.
Judge: Okay. All right. Thank you everyone.
Pavelich: Thank you your honor.
Frederick: Thank you.
