3. PROCEDURAL HISTORY:
We are here today from Whittier Court, Department 123 in hopes of finding resolution. The
case was filed by the petitioner in December of 2018 out of Whittier Court.
As demonstrated on the Registry of Action (attachment #4), the case stayed stagnant for a
period of 4 months. I must add to this brief that my self representation is not by choice. I have
studied sleepless nights to understand the legalities and procedures in order to attempt to
successfully finalize this divorce with fairness and acceptance. So please, be patient with me.
While the petitioner continued to live a lavishing lifestyle, the case remained stagnant. I
borrowed money from my parents and hired counsel Joel Garcia in May of 2019 who assisted
me in moving the case forward by propounding the following discovery:
1. Demand for Inspection & Production of Documents
2. Tangible Things & Other Properties
3. Request for Admission of the Truth of Facts & Genuineness of Documents
4. Form Interrogatories FL-145
5. Specially Prepared Interrogatories
(Please refer back to attachment #4 “Registry of Actions” for verification).
In addition to the above mentioned orders, I, the respondent, have also submitted subpoenas to
Chase Bank, requesting financial records for the community property business and
petitioner’s personal accounts.(see attachment #5).
2. We have a business that started during the marriage. Inaugurated in 2005, (see
attachment#7) the petitioner is the concrete pump operator; if the petitioner
hired a 2nd pumper, I am unaware. Our 2 sons worked as second pump
operators throughout the years, however, both have quit due to the petitioner’s
inability to treat people with respect and consideration.
The first year, we purchased (1) concrete pump through T/A Pumps Sales Inc.
in Stanton. (See attachment#7). The business received a loan from the
petitioner’s parents that was paid in full in 2012. A second pump was
purchased in 2018 (see attachment#7).

In order for me to have a fair trial, & get equal division of our community
property, it is in my best interest to present these exhibits. The petitioner’s
credibility is in question. I believe that his dishonesty & uncooperation are an
intentional motive to mislead during settlement.
I ask that the court order the petitioner to show the detailed financial data
that he shared with his forensic accountants to determine the value of the
business.
I have read countless hours of literature in hopes that my exhibits meet all the
requirements to be entered into evidence. I have not done anything wrong, but
simply watch the petitioner tamper with the community funds. After almost 3
years, he had every opportunity to redeem himself. And after reading his brief,
I can see that this man has a dark soul.
So for the sake of a fair trial, my goal now is to attack the petitioner’s
credibility in hopes that the court will assist me in bringing justice. These
exhibits show a pattern of dishonesty.
Exhibit A
Petitioner’s FL-150 Income & Expense Declaration Dated 3/1/2021
was compared to the business checking account statements & personal
statements.The results are that the petitioner is not being honest. (See
attachment #2)
Exhibit C
Petitioner’s FL-150 Income & Expense Declaration Dated 10/19/2019
was compared to the business checking account statements & personal
statements. The results are that the petitioner is not being honest. (See
attachment#2)
Exhibit D
Once again, the petitioner’s credibility is in question when he tells his
attorney he makes no profit from our Arizona home that he lists on
AIRBNB as a vacation rental.
According to the Business Checking Acct statements for timeframe
4/1/2020 to 4/30/2021 there are 38 deposits from AIRBNB, totalling
$29183.16. Our mortgage payments are $1013.92 per month,
$12167.04 per year. Leaving $17016.12 for utilities, taxes and
maintenance? Really?
Please refer to page 4 of the Court Transcript for hearing date 3/4/2021
@Whittier Court where the petitioner's counsel states that there is “no
profit.” (see attachment #2).
Exhibit E
My son Lewis Jr shared with me some texts his father, the petitioner,
recently sent him. (see attachment #2).
It shouldn’t have to come to this your honor. I am not a vicious person.
But when you deal with ugly, you have to become ugly. It’s unfortunate
because I know this is not in my nature. But what am I supposed to do?
I am wife #3. He’s left the first 2 with nothing & is going to try to do
the same thing again. Now he’s working on #4. Calling one of his bank
accounts “my next wife”? He has no shame and no dignity. He’s
mocking everyone with no remorse. And I’m not going to quit until his
true character is revealed.

*NOTE: Pre separation the business was not in debt.
Now the petitioner lists in his latest brief personal credit card debt as business related.
He has listed in his business appraisal 2 questionable loans of large sums of money,
claiming they are business related. He is also stating that the business has a debt with
his parents.
The exhibits I have provided have determined that the petitioner’s word is worthless.
Therefore, I ask the court to order the petitioner to provide legit, authenticized proof
of these so-called business related debts.
