Georgia
Petitioner with sheriff's escort took my pet dog she had given to me, I'm very distressed and hurt by his lose. Did the petitioner have the right to remove my pet? Where the order states she is allowed her clothes, toiletries, personal items. The judge initialed that both Respondent and Petitioner is/or ordered not to sell, encumber, trade, damage, contract not to sell, or otherwise dispose of or remove from the jurisdiction of this court any of the property or pets of the petitioner or joint property or pets of the parties except the ordinary course of business. PS I was told the petitioner has a noticed letter I have never been told of and was not presented to see.
I'm truly lost that everything I have is all I've got and disabled with only social security income of witch is hardly getting by with. Also the accusations she made against me are fraudulent in the family violence act. The date we went before the judge he just extended the order for twelve more months. I didn't understand how to reply to the petition other then typed out what had happened during the time frame the petitioner quoted with the actual facts. Need help but don't know where to turn. All I've been able to do is read the Georgia code law, there's just too much for me to understand. Please help!

There's only one question in your post and no way to answer it without reading whatever order(s) the court has issued.
 
Family Violence Ex Parte Protective Order - only the following that are initialed by the Judge shall apply - ini. 12. 13. 14. 19. 20. 21. 22.
Paragraph 19 states the following:
That (both Respondent and Petitioner) is/are ordered not to sell, encumber, trade, damage, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of or remove from the jurisdiction of this Court any of the property or pets of the Petitioner or joint property or pets of the parties except in the ordinary course of business.
Petitioner claims domestic pet that she had given to Respondent, dog that Respondent is very fond of with Sheriffs Office stating she has a notarized letter that, (was not presented) the pet was to remain under the care of the Petitioner. Petitioner has never showed that much interest in the pet.
Respondent does not believe this was a justified reasonable allowance of the courts order.
Can the Petitioner that walked out on this marriage and return to her previous ex-husband be allowed to remove the pet that was given to me?
 
Please help!


Leave her alone, stay at least 1/2 a mile away from her, and live your life.

If she enters a store, if you're smart, you'll leave IMMEDIATELY and make a note that you DID leave as soon as she appeared.

As far as the dog, let it go, unless you have thousands of dollars to throw a a lawyer.

If you don't have thousands of dollars to blow, let it all go, and live your life as a free man.

Go forth and sin no more, my child.

Well, I was hoping for better advice. Maybe, I should start from the beginning. She walked out on me. I've don't nothing so to say wrong. For 20+ yrs?... I guess another dog would be cheaper. She has barely worked for all that's been acquired. Other then gone from one surgery to the next. Though since I have made it this far, I can hold on for a little while longer. 30 days and the Judge didn't want to hear no more from us then did we feel 12 month's more would be needed. So here we are with her attempting to make me get charged with contempt. I'm not the problem she is. We maybe under orders that we can't talk to anyone, other then a lawyer, which I can't afford. This is the life of a person that chooses to live his life behind a semi truck. No, I'm a god fearing man. Must look elsewhere for my answer. Thank you.
 
Quite often in life things are not fair and it seems like the bad guys win. Quite often it just isn't worth fighting, causing yourself more stress and aggravation with not much chance for better results. I believe that somewhere in the end it all works out. Go get a new dog and enjoy it.

Yes, even though she has been setting me up for sometime. I do have 4 events after the court date she was breaking the court order. It states both she and I must do.
A new dog well…..
The justice is suppose to work for all of us.
 
The notarized letter, if it exists, is probably meaningless.
Ownership of the dog is something that can be sorted out in the divorce along with the rest of the property.
It seems she pulled a fast one with the dog. It might work out for you, but you need to be patient. Hopefully you can find some legal assistance to help you through the process.
 
Thank you Mightymoose, and everyone else! I was hoping that I could send the Judge a formal letter showing all the occurrences that have transpired since the first court hearing. I the studying I've done to this point basically is against the Respondent. When the Petitioner is the sole cause to all our problems. Seeing now that the Petitioner is well versed in divorce by me being the third spouse, the Court would have some understanding that I am not the guilty party. When it comes to "cohabitation" laws I have failed due to having such a big heart. This time I'm not going for her go stay overnight with her previous spouse and then return like "WHAT". I'm sick of it. Now I'm looking how to end this abuse she puts me through. There's more wrinkles that have yet to be disclosed, so I have faith that in the end going "Pro Se", I might have a chance at keeping the land my father gave to me out of the life insurance money that came from my mothers passing away. Things I didn't know from the beginning was to request the proof from which the Petitioner stated in her petition 3 days prior to the first court hearing. It was an experience to go through the 1st hearing? The Judge just wanted to know if "we" wanted the temporary protective order to continue for 12 more months and that was it. She walked out on me, with her stating I was holding her prisoner, dictating, wouldn't do any thing for her and so on. It was all lies, like she knew just what to put on the protective order, so it would..... I better not go into to much detail for fear of being... I guess in contempt for asking for help. Basically I just want to give to the Court of all the events that she has done since we were in court, stood in front of the Judge. Then I start to worry about the correct way to get a message to the Judge in some kind of form letting him know what she has been doing to me. I'm not that smart, otherwise I would have done something other then HOLD A STEERING WHEEL for a living.
Thanks, EVERYONE for your replies.
Kindness, and Prosperity to you.

No, don't. Anything you have to say to the judge should be said in court. Just be organized and prepared.

I might have a chance at keeping the land my father gave to me out of the life insurance money that came from my mothers passing away.

Probably so, depending on a few factors and timing of events.

The Judge just wanted to know if "we" wanted the temporary protective order to continue for 12 more months and that was it.

That is probably the only matter that was intended to be addressed at the time. Always be aware of the purpose of each hearing and be prepared for that. You will be lucky to squeeze in anything else.

You can, but most judges wouldn't dare open it, much less read it.

I won't bore you with the why, which you probably already know.

If you want a proper evaluation of your legal position and your standing to possibly improve your position, talk to three local lawyers.

Mo need to worry about costs, as most lawyers allow one consultation without charge or further obligation.

The face to face interaction will allow you to come away with a better understanding of what might work, as well as what won't work in your county legal system.

The lesson here is one I was taught about 57 years ago, don't trust anyone with your money and assets, except those you know well, not just those you might love!
 
One more question, alright two if it's no inconvenience Ladies and Gentlemen.
Quoted from Statue
Georgia Code Title 19-5-3, (6), (7).
(6) Adultery in either of the parties after marriage.
(7) Willful and continued desertion by either of the parties for the term of one year.
Georgia Code Title 19-6-1, (b).
A party shall not be entitled to alimony if it is established by a preponderance of the evidence that the separation between the parties was caused by that party's adultery or desertion.
1) If said party moved in with and has been receiving support, money, care from her last or 2nd Ex husband.(I being the third) They already having a pre-marital affair with a child. "Would or could this be deemed as ALDULTERY"?
2)After the judges ordered extended 12 months temporary protective order, would the spouse living outside the marital home at the end of this allotted time be considered as ABANDONDMENT?
As "Pro Se" I just have to ask?
 
As "Pro Se" I just have to ask?

Would you extract a decaying tooth, set a broken leg, remove a cancerous tumor from your brain?

Probably not, right.

But, but, its your body, darn it.

This is why "pro se" is also a bad idea for things other than a small claims case, or a traffic citation.

Aren't you already divorced?

The time to assert any valid defenses, or make any legal arguments is before the judgment is rendered.

As suggested many times previously, your time is better spent by talking to two or three local attorneys.

They initial consultation is usually offered at no cost or obligation.
 
Thanks judge, I don't have many options to say it's a small town. Only 2 attorneys in town, when the court states that all assets are community property it means you can't borrow against it, right? She said she work her whole life of 25 yrs. She spent more time in doctor offices then working. So she could stay stoned lying at home on the couch then earn a pay check. I just wish I knew you 25 yrs ago, or more about… what I know now about divorce. I wild have made better choices. I also wish she wasn't so cold hearted. Is it better to file for divorce first or let the other spouse file first? Judge thanks for chatting with me, i feel a little less lonely in this world .

These days divorcing a person is easier and quicker than marrying one.
Many people agree on who gets what, file their paperwork, get their day in court, and a few weeks later they're divorced.

Some people get stuck with a worthless rat, a deadbeat, mooch, that tries to use you for a milk cow.

All you can do is try to forget and move on.

It takes time, lots of time, but the wounds will heal.

While you're moving on, think of what lousy, lazy, leeching mooch she was, and you'll start smiling because you're free of the lazy beast.

I saw a sign on rest room wall above a urinal, that went like this: "That great guy or gal you just started dating, well she or he was someone's worst nightmare before you found him/her. Be careful, go slow, if you don't wanna be the next broken heart."

I was all of 18 years old when I read that, but I've never forgotten it.

Don't beat yourself up, mate, you did the best you could do.

She's at the end of her mooching days, and you're free, moving on.

She's gonna get a few life lessons sooner or later, lesson you have already learned.
