The judge made his ruling today on the request for a default judgment. It took him 83 days to make the ruling. His ruling is 11 pages long. I will give the judge good marks for being thorough, even if I am not happy with what he has ruled.
He has denied my request for a default judgment saying...
It's been a month since I have given an update. On June 6 she did end up pleading guilty to two of the lesser charges as part of a plea barbain. There's a sentencing hearing schedule for August 7. I will be presenting a victim impact statement at that hearing. I will be asking for a long DANCO...
Here's an update on the criminal and divorce cases.
At the last minute she agreed to a plea bargain on May 6. The plea hearing is going to be on June 5. However, on May 10 a judge issued 3 warrants for her arrest for violating the terms of her release. My best guess is that she has failed yet...
Thank you for the responses. I appreciate it.
I found out yesterday that she has refused, again, to plead guilty to reduced charges where her penalty would have been a $300 fine, two years of probation, and 90 days in jail (all stayed). I also found out that this trial is going to be just on...

I was the victim of a domestic assault last summer. I just received a subpoena to appear in court as a witness. I am under contract to work 184 days per year. My gross salary is $77,000. My employer, a public school district, is claiming that since this situation isn't covered in...
That's a good point about how much money she might have. I don't know if she has $6,000 or $60,000. Right now we can't even come close to an agreement because she has never responded to any of my settlement proposals or made her own proposal. Even during mediation she did not respond. It's...
I never saw her at the mediation. I gave her mail to the mediator who took it to her. She opened her mail as they were talking and then for whatever reason she showed the mediator the statement that was in the envelope. There is around $3,000 in that new account. Not a lot of money, but what...
Today was mediation. Before mediation her lawyer gave us a few of the documents we had requested. We got 3 of 5 W-2's, 2 of 5 investment and retirement account statements, but no bank statements or paystubs. She also has not answered almost all of the interrogatories. Mediation began with me...
An update on the case. I asked my attorney what we can do to try to get the documents that she refuses to turn over. My attorney answered that we may not need to get the documents because he expects the judge to default her out at the next hearing, which is on April 25. Of course, now that I'm...
Today was the deadline for her to comply with the judge's order. She did not provide any of the documents requested (bank statements, investment account statement, pay stubs for her jobs, W-2's for her jobs, or income tax information. She provided an address for where she banks and an address...
Commentator, Thank you so much for your advice. You asked in a previous post about her past behavior. She's always drank, but the last couple of years it has gotten way out of control. I am not exaggerating when I say that EVERY night she drinks and that she has three drinks in front of her at...
I have changed the locks twice. I have put locks on all of the bedroom doors in the house and the kids (13, 15, & 17 years old) all must lock their bedroom doors when they sleep. The kids now all have cell phones, which they are expected to have near them always. We pull all of our blinds and...
Thank you for the advice. I appreciate.
I want to point out that I have not communicated with her at all since our daughter's confirmation in October ( I asked the judge to allow her to attend) and any communication before that was strictly about the children. Her violating the terms of the...
Part of the conditions of her release is that she is not to possess or consume alcohol. She has been arrested 5 times since last summer for violating the DANCO (Domestic Abuse No Contact Order) and she has been arrested once, in February, for failing a previous urine test.
She is 52 years old...
Minnesota.
My wife (we are in the final stages of getting divorced) is on pre-trial probation because of domestic assault towards me. She is required to take random alcohol screenings. In February she failed a urine test and was arrested. A few days ago she was ordered (in the morning) to come...
The judge issued his order yesterday. He has ordered her to completely answer all interrogatories and provide all documents within 14 days. He also ordered her to pay an additional $1000 to my attorney. His order is very detailed and about ten pages long. My favorite part of the order is his...
She has not paid the $500.
Today was the hearing. It was supposed to be a pre-trial hearing and instead it was 40 minutes of the judge reading out loud through two of documents she submitted and saying things like, "This answer is incomplete and stinky" and "You wasted a lot of ink trying to...
That is a fair question. I am in the unfortunate position of having an attorney who is often inaccessible and non-responsive. He knows what he's doing, but unless it's an important question with some urgency required my experience is that he won't respond at all. He is an older gentleman who...

What is the most likely response of a judge to a party who has refused to comply with discovery (pay stubs, W-2's, bank account and investment account information, etc.)? My wife refused to comply last fall and in December the judge was very clear that she needed to comply and he...
