RE: In re the Marriage of ConnellChippewa County Case No .. IO.FA198._ ._ ~ ~.... . -- - -_. . - .,
Your Honor:
I am writing in response to the letter written by Mr. Fairchild dated March 11, 20 II. rwould like to address a few of the points that he has made in error.
Number 7: Jim Connell is smart enough to call me names without witnesses.j'Hc called.'me a "Bitch" on Sunday, March 6,2011 while standing in the driveway'. When I stated Jwould not listen to such name calling and turned to leave, he stated that I should look theword up in the dictionary - he wasn't calling me a derogatory name. In a later paragraphMr. Fairchild writes, "Although at some time in the past each party has called the othernames, Mr. Connell has not done so since the hearing of Mach 4th".-
I -- ..
This same day I did send Anna out with a form to sign that was sent by our Tax Preparerthat needed Jim's signature to send in our taxes to the State and Federal Government.This signature was to submit our taxes; I had not picked them up as of yet. I felt it was asimple matter of a signature and that] could save mysel f the grief, which I knew wouldhappen, by talking with Jim - he does not pass up an opportunity to belittle me when hehas a chan~ e!ccially if there are n~ ~i~~.es._ -(_J~-'t;~. . :.Under "MI. Connell relates to me the following: He has consistently called Mrs. Connellto notify her in advance of any time he was coming over."-
.... '4' ,
He has called to notify me in advance of any time he was coming over. However,he comes and goes during the day repeatedly. c-
a ~6, "~J"-' If\.'
--- .-----------------------------------------------------------
Under "In fact, the reason Ms. Donnellan has filed a affidavit which she herself signed, isthat her client - the one claiming impoverishment - is away with her children on a 7-10'day vacation to Mexico."·
<S /": ~ Ishowed Jim Connell that Ihad placed this trip on my charge card. No marital\}) f¥ ~:...,. menies .went toward this said trip. He, in fa~t, off~rcd Michael $100 spending
It '(:' bnoney If he would come out and speak to him. Michael refused. Anna took the
GtJ'l A rfl money. We were not on a 7-10 day vacation to Mexico, we were on a five-dayI I-J . .J1 .cruise in the Caribbean - we went to Mexico one day./'h (I) 7· oyr '

Under ,. He did bum some paper and cardboard waste from the shed in the burning barrelon the land, as has been the family's pattern of use.
He has been granted access to the shed and undeveloped land. The burning barrelis in the yard.
Continuing under same paragraph" She did not inform him that she was showing thehouse and, apparently, did not show the house. Even as of several days later (3/8), shehas not shown the house.
1 showed the house that day at 4pm to a realtor for a market analysis. I told him'not to get the results to me until after my vacation because Ihad too much to do
until then. • • Jtt~r!.- j'-s -I-ke H1, II,Am I being watched? V'--'

Yes, I would tell him he could get tools. Then he would start to verbally becomerude and disrespectful to me and then I would refuse his entry because of his pastbehavior. When Jim starts acting this was, he will continue to be verballyaggressive towards me. Believe me, I've been there for 20 years.

He placed this box in the driveway. I told him to move it to the shed; that I wouldnot pick it up and put it away - Jim enjoys making others do jobs that make himfeel in control of a situation. Jim refused to remove it. Furthermore, Michaeldoes not talk with Jim so he did not know about the oil and filters. I asked Annaif she had asked for them and she denied wanting the oil and filters. The boxremained in the driveway for approx. three days before it disappeared again.

On Tuesday, March 29, 2011, I showed the house to a prospective buyer and herhusband. Ji'E' at the !ime_,wasin tbe shed <:!_n.the property. Just before.they came.I .wcnt , - _ _ _ _- Ioiit and askeo'hinfif"we" could 'discuss a price for the house and some acreage. Hestated "There is no "we" and I have just two words for you and you know what they arc,"I left the shed at this point. Approximately I hour later the couple came to see the house.
.--,
This morning I listened to the message he left about coming out to the farm. He added -and I have saved this message - "By the way, you might want to give Shelly Lehmann acall. I got a feeling that they're not quite as interested in buying the house as they were aday or two ago." - Jim called Peter Lehmann and what I have gathered from Shelly was ()that Jim was "Irate" on the phone with Pete. ,f F ~ i ~4--}' Y ()..J ~ (."","":Z 5,;10'

Judge Cameron, I think you will have to agree that this has been a long, drawn out affairwith Jim Connell. People have wondered why it took so long for me to file for divorce.
, This is why. 'My neighbors, friends, and family have expressed' feat that Michael, Anna or~ J may be harmed. I am cautious with our safety but to what extent do I need to go? I. work in the mental health field and I know that this is a dangerous time for me and myfamily. How much harassment, under the law, constitutes the law stepping in andprotecting me?
