IN THE MATTER OF § INTIIB TIIB MARRIAGE OF § § ROGER ARASH F ARAHMAND § AND § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT MARYAM FARAHMAND § § AND IN THE INTEREST OF § § COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS A MINOR CHILD §

SUPPORTING AFFIDAVIT OF ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND

COUNTY OF COLLIN § § STATE OF TEXAS §

BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND (hereinafter referred to as "ROGER"), known to· me to be the person whose signature is affixed hereto, .and, who, after first being duly sworn on his oath did say he is over the ----ii --------------------- · ageofl8years;hasneverbeenconvictedofafetony,andiscornpetenttumakethisaffidavit;thathe .,., is the Petitioner in the above entitled and numbered cause; that he has read this AFFIDAVIT, has I knowledge of the facts contained herein, and that they are all true and correct.

"I, ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND, am the Petitioner in this case and the Applicant seeking the EMERGENCY MOTION FOR EX PARTE/EXTRAORDINARY RELIEF. That Respondent, MARYAMFARAHMAND (hereinafter "MARYAM"), and I met on June 5, 2012 and married shortly thereafter on July 28, 2012. We have a son named. (hereinafter " '), age six (6) months, born July 9, 2013. MARYAM and her sister have had a significant history of instability and mental health issues.

"From the outset, MARYAM's emotional volatility was evident, in private and later in public. That volatility (yelling, screaming, highs and lows) has been observed by numerous family, friends, business associates and partner, as well medical staff and now the police. Despite having a Ph.D. and two Master's Degrees, MARYAM has not held any meaningful employment immediately before, or during, ow marriage. It is my understanding that MARYAM had to leave her last place of employment due to mental instability. She applied for short-terni disability but was denied.

"During our marriage, MARYAM told me that she went to Green Oaks in 2009 for an attempted suicide. She said she did not remember the exact details, only that she had a" breakdown" and overdosed. on Xanax. Recently however, she changed her story claiming that it was a "medication issue," and that's why she "overdosed onXanax." MARYAM later sought psychiatric SUPPORTING AFFIDAVIT OF ROGER ARA.SH FARAHMAND Pg. 1

counseling through Dr. SCOTT WOOD, M.D. for PTSD, severe self-esteem issues and depression, but per her words, ''he wouldn't do therapy" and that he ''just gave me medication."

"MARYAM has told me that in the past she has been on a variety of pills, including Adderall, Prozac, Xanax and Seroquel but that she hasn't taken them since July 2012. Throughout our marriage, but more recently, MARYAM would have auditory hallucinations when she.would not sleep. I don't know if that condition is due to the medications she claimed she wasn't taking or something else; I do know MARYAM once destroyed her car from sleep deprivation (she was also recently in a "hit and run"). According to MARYAM, she fell asleep behind the wheel and did not remember the accident. That the Addetall helps keeps her awake, and she likes it because she "doesn't eat" and it Jets her "lose weight." (Conflicting with what she previously told me about her past pill usage). That she took Xanax and Melatonin to calm down, so she could go to sleep.

"On November 15, 2013, MARYAM saw Dr. SCOTT WOOD, M.D.,and was prescdbed Prozac. Since then, MARYAM has refused to take that medication. On December 13, 2013, MARYAM threatened to harm herself, stating she has "no reason to live;" that "J wqnt to kill myself;" that "J don't want to look at baby-!just want to kill myselftoday." That"/ have nothing to live for anymore." That "I'm tired There is nothing I can do." She also repeated these things on the December \8. She began banging her head against the wall in front of (She has also banged her head against several walls before in the past). She spent Saturday i!lld Sunday in bed, and slept the entire time. She told me she was still not taking her Prozac.

"On December 18, 2013, I left for work. MARYAM began blowing up my phone as well as thatofmy business partner. Fo11owing, !returned homewithmy business partner to find my mom at the house. MARYAM was holding screaming at the top of her lungs. I came in and MARYAM.started screaming and shouting the same things she usually does. My mom tried to calm her to no avail. MARYAM began hitting her head against the wall again. My mom removed our son and went into another room. I began to leave only to be stopped by MARYAM handing me her phone. Her mother was on the other end stating "she is going to kill herself," who then oscillated saying that her daughter was in "great mental shape." MARYAM was now tearing her hair from her head. Then BAHMAN PARVIZ-KHYAVI, her father, arrived. Following, MARYAM tells me "Now you can be happy. I just took 30 llydrocodones. "I immediately put MARYAM in the car and rushed her to PLANO PRESBYTERIAN EMERGENCY.

"On December 18, 2013, MARYAM was involuntarily committed to PLANO PRESBYTERIAN EMERGENCY. There, MARYAM told the staff that she took" 30 Hydrocodone" because she doesn't "want want to live anymore." MARYAM's father demanded that MARYAM change her story and the reasons why she was there. To blame it on me and marital issues, not her mental health. Her father became furious with her when the nurses left, stating "don't tell them" she was "trying to kill" herself. That "these guys are mean" and "not trustworthy.'' That "they will make a record for her." That admonition despite her sister, MAHSA PARVIZ, having also attempted suicide, resulting in her hospitalization for having ingested twelve (12) Ambien pills. I told him to stop telling her that. I asked him "Don't you think she needs help?" He looked at me angrily andleft the room. I could overhear him talking to his wife cursing at me and that I am "making a rec<>rdi, for his daughter. He then came back into the room, stating that I needed to go to therapy with her. SUPPORI!NG AFFIDAVIT OF ROGER ARASH_FA!l,i\HMAND Pg.2

"I laterreturned to the ICU, where MARYAM' s parents were trying to get her released. They continued to blame the situation on me. They denied that MARYAM took any pills. MARYAM' s father said "how do you know she took any pills?" I asked him - "did you see her blood report?" PRESBYTERIAN then transferred MARYAM to the SEAY CENTER, where she was checked in on Thursday, December 19, 2013 at night remaining until Monday, December 23, 2013 when I picked her up. Because of the toxicity in MARYAM' s blood work, the hospital intravenously gave her an antidote for 24 hours and charcoal to absorb it. MARYAM slept for those 24 hours. When she woke, she was sweet, pleasant and asked me to get some personal effects for her from home.

"During that hospitalization, I found in her belongings at least two containers full of different pills, including uppers and downers in her contact case and.in her Pamprin bottles. Following her release, I asked MARYAM about the pills. She said they were from before and that "Pamprin is for cramps." When I showed her the pictures, she. then stated they were Aderall and that she lied. See Exhibit 2, afair and acqurate depiction ofsome ofthe pills! took apicture of After her release from the SEAY CENTER and her conversations with her parents, MARYAM changed her story yet again, stating now that the pills were from before we met. Before we got home, MARYAM began repeating the same rage as in the past, ye Hing and screaming at me. On Friday, December 27, 2013, and following her release, IV)ARYAM demanded the return of those pills - else she would call the police on me.

"At home, MARYAM demanded that I kick my dad and uncle out of the house despite previously agreeing that they could stay (my father had been with us following s birth and my uncle came in for the Christmas holiday). On Christmas Day, I asked my father .and uncle to leave to try and placate MARYAM and to calrilthe situation. They hel;l.l'd her berating me. Rather than our relying on my father to help care for I was forced to keep with me at all times. On December 27, 2013, MARYAM stated she would kill herself with an overdose if we went away and me).

"On December 28, 2013, I left the home with to go to the office and told MARY AM I would return in thirty (30) minutes. Before I got to work (eight (8) miles away), I received a phone call from my office stating "your w/fe is here.'' Concerned as I had just left her, I stopped at a nearby police annex to seek guidance on what I should do. While talking with Officer ELLIS, I received. a phone call from Richardson Police Department. I let the two officers communicate onmy phone. It is my understanding through the poilce departments that MARYAM contacted Richardson police claiming that I was "homicidal" and that t "took her son." MARYAM later t.old me she called the police is because my "life is in danger." She later stated she contacted the Richardson police "be u ignored me."

"Based on the involvement of the police, and her deteriorating condition, I felt it prudent to have my business partner and father later check on MARYAM at the house before I returned. (Since then, I decided to myself and from her). MARYAM however refused to come to. or to open the door, so they called the police for a wellness check. Office ELLIS, who I had just met with earlier, came to the house. In the house were broken bottles and stemware as vyell as vomit. MARYAM sought to blame me, but it is my understanding that Officer ELLIS advised her that he was just with me . .SUPPORTING AFFIDAVIT OF ROGE.RARASHFARAHMANI~ Pg.3

"She has also made recent baseless allegations to my friends that I was out drunk with our son -- during a baby shower for my friend's newborn child. In response to the latest accusation, I immediately went to the police station to separate fact from fiction. There, I spoke with Office STENSON (Badge No. 8656) aod apprised him of the escalating situation. He advised me to conmct a lawyer to protect myself; that the matter was civiLAdditional proof will be offered in Courtto negate her latest wave of accusations. MARYAM's behavior has now risen to a new level, aod lam extremely concerned for her aod our son's welfare given it is not beneath her to make false accusations.

"In the last twelve (12) hours, I received two (2) "No Caller ID" calls at 3:32ao1 and then received thirty-seven (37) "No Caller ID" calls through the signing of this AFFIDAVIT. was asleep in my care. I could hear a guy on the other end making sex noises, moaning saying something to the effect "l'mjerking off on your.face." No idea who that was, except to say I have had the same phone number for fifteen (15) years and have never received aoy calls of the sort. It is my distinct impression that the caller may be related to MARYAM' s sister, now that she is back in town from Boston, the same sister who has also had a significant history of emotional problems. This type of behavior is atypical of what her sister ·has done in the. past.

"Today, MARYAM has called and texted me numerous times pleading with me to come home. While I ao1 certainly open to working things out, I don't believe I have recourse other than to seek immediate court intervention for tl1e time being. I feel I am left without recourse as MARYAM' s parents are not assisting in helping her get better, MARYAM is not being compliaot with therapyorpsychotropic IUedications previously prescribed,and now with the recent baseless accusations -I am having to live a Iife on eggshells having to constantly document everything about everything. ·

" is in my possession at this time.

"Consequently, lam requesting immediate possession of aod access to our child, without any an unsupervised possession by MARYAM, until a hearing can be held in effort to remove our child from any further emotional aod possible physical damage. Additional testinlony, evidence, and witnesses will be offered at hearing, to further show that MARYAM' s demeaoor aod temperament is having a detrinlental inlpact on our child. I have reviewed the Temporary Emergency/Ex Parte Order aod believe the requests are in the best interest of our child and the least restrictive in terms of requests at this time. I am asking the Court to grantthe relief requested against MARYAM to protect our son."

1 PROCEEDINGS 2 (Open court) 3 THE COURT: Let’s go on the record in Cause 4 Number 401-56531-2013 which is styled Farahmand versus 5 Farahmand. We’re set for a temporary orders hearing 6 today. Petitioner ready? 7 MR. NACE: Yes, Your Honor. 8 THE COURT: Respondent ready? 9 MR. CORBITT: Respondent/Counter-Petitioner 10 is ready, Your Honor. 11 THE COURT: First thing I need to do is 12 swear in my translator. Would you tell me your name and 13 spell last name for the court reporter, please. 14 INTERPRETER: My first name is Mansour 15 M-A-N-S-O-U-R, last name is Khakpour K-H-A-K-P-O-U-R. 16 THE COURT: You’ve got a license, I assume. 17 INTERPRETER: Actually, I’m representing a 18 company which does have a license for this. 19 THE COURT: Okay. Raise your right hand 20 for me. 21 (Mansour Khakpour sworn as interpreter) 22 MR. CORBITT: Please the Court, are we 23 gonna go from here or at counsel table? 24 THE COURT: I don’t mind doing it up here. 25 But if you would rather sit down, we’ll do it at counsel

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

6 Hearing March 10, 2014

1 table. 2 Let’s have everybody who expects to testify 3 in this proceeding please stand and raise your right hand 4 for me. If you think you might be testifying, stand up. 5 MR. CORBITT: We have four. At least I’m 6 gonna swear them in. 7 (The witnesses were sworn) 8 THE COURT: Put your hands down. 9 Mr. Farahmand, Mrs. Farahmand, come up and have a seat 10 with counsel. If you’ll have a seat next to who you’re 11 translating for. 12 Anyone invoke the Rule? 13 MR. CORBITT: We do. 14 MR. NACE: We would. 15 THE COURT: Those of you in my gallery 16 who’s been sworn in, it means two things. You will 17 remain outside this courtroom while this hearing is being 18 conducted. Two, you do not discuss this case, your 19 testimony or what transpires in this courtroom unless 20 you’re in here as a witness. There is an exception to 21 that. If we should take a break you’re allowed to talk 22 to either Mr. Nace or Mr. Corbitt, individually or 23 together. But if you’re talking to on or the other or 24 both, you need to be outside the hearing of anyone else 25 connected with this case so they can’t overhear your

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

7 Hearing March 10, 2014

1 conversations. If you guys will have a seat outside, 2 I’ll call you when and if I need you. 3 MR. CORBITT: Please the Court, may I 4 request one thing of the Court’s consideration? That is 5 that we allow the experts, Dr. Scott Woods, the 6 psychiatrist, as well as Dr. Robert Gordon, to be present 7 during the testimony. 8 THE COURT: For what? 9 MR. CORBITT: Well, first of all, I would 10 think that that would be a necessity in the situation. 11 And number two, it’s my understanding that experts can be 12 in the same room when one testifies to hear the other’s 13 testimony. 14 MR. NACE: They’re not court appointed, 15 Your Honor; they’re retained. 16 THE COURT: I don’t need them for a 17 temporary hearing. 18 You need your translator up here next to 19 your client, I would assume. Don’t you? Or, is he 20 coming for your client’s mother? 21 MR. NACE: He’s on our side, Your Honor. 22 THE COURT: Who is he here for the benefit 23 of? 24 MR. NACE: He’s here for the benefit of 25 translating the marital issues --

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

8 Hearing March 10, 2014

1 THE COURT: Who? 2 MR. NACE: Asian Ghaffari is the individual 3 I subpoenaed. The translator is here to translate 4 basically our allegations of bigamy, that Maryam 5 Farahmand is still married to an individual she married 6 and lied about in her deposition this last Thursday. So 7 that’s who we have here today, Your Honor. 8 MR. CORBITT: May I respond? 9 THE COURT: No because nobody’s answering 10 my question. Whose benefit, what relation to someone in 11 this room, is this translator here? Mom? Dad? 12 Grandparents? Who? 13 MR. NACE: Dad. 14 THE COURT: Okay. Your dad hasn’t -- your 15 client hasn’t needed a translator in my courtroom before. 16 MR. NACE: My client does not need a 17 translator, that’s correct; just a witness we have here 18 under subpoena. 19 THE COURT: Okay. Thank you. Now, I got 20 it. 21 You’re alleging that Mrs. Farahmand has 22 committed bigamy? 23 MR. NACE: Yes, Your Honor. 24 THE COURT: All right. Mrs. Farahmand, 25 listen very carefully to me.

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

9 Hearing March 10, 2014

1 Bigamy is a crime in this state. It is a 2 felony in this state. With respect to that, you would 3 have an absolute right under the Constitution of the 4 United States and under the Constitution and laws of the 5 State of Texas to remain silent and not take -- and not 6 answer any question with respect to that. If you say 7 anything in this courtroom with respect to this bigamy 8 issue, it can and will be held against you. 9 You’re entitled to be represented by an 10 attorney, and you are. And your attorney also is an 11 experienced criminal defense lawyer. So I know he knows 12 these things, but I need to make sure you know these 13 things. If you have any questions about any of those 14 issues, you make sure you talk to your lawyer about it 15 because you don’t get to pick and choose the questions 16 you will answer with respect to that issue. All right. 17 Is there anybody in my courtroom who was 18 sworn in just a second ago who hasn’t left? 19 MR. NACE: Judge, the only person I asked 20 to except is Mr. Ghaffari. He’s 97 years of age, and I’m 21 going to call him as our first witness. 22 THE COURT: All right. I can deal with 23 that one. 24 For the record, we’ve had essentially the 25 lawyers tell me their positions prior to going on the

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

10 Hearing March 10, 2014

1 record, so I know what those are. 2 Under our local rules each sides got 20 3 minutes aside. I’m going to give them an extra five 4 because I’m using a translator for at least one of these 5 witnesses. So everybody’s got 25 minutes. 6 Mr. Nace, who’s going to be your first 7 witness? 8 MR. NACE: Mr. Ghaftari. 9 THE COURT: Mr. Ghaffari, if you would step 10 up here for me, please. 11 MR. NACE: And, Judge, may I keep my cell 12 phone out so I can see how much time I have, to keep 13 track of my time? 14 THE COURT: You can. But, as nicely as I 15 can say this, my timer beats your cell phone. 16 MR. NACE: I understand. 17 THE COURT: Ralph, can you get a seat for 18 our translator? 19 BAILIFF: Yes, sir. 20 THE COURT: I need you guys to come up and 21 have a seat in that black chair over there for me. 22 Now, it’s more important that I hear you 23 than I hear Mr. Ghaffari, since I assume he’s going to be 24 speaking in Farsi. That microphone that’s there on the 25 table, you can pick that up and pull that closer to you.

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

11 Hearing March 10, 2014

1 INTERPRETER: Yes, sir. 2 THE COURT: I just need you to talk into it 3 so that we can all hear you. Mr. Nace. 4 MR. NACE: Ready when you are, Your Honor. 5 Ready?

And just so that I 16 understand, I know that there are several subdivisions of 17 Islam, Sunni, for example, Shi’ite. What subdivision are 18 you? 19 THE WITNESS: Shi’ite. 20 THE COURT: Thank you. So the world will 21 know, I’m not an expert under Islamic law, but at least 22 I’ve got his testimony that he is authorized to do that. 23 That would, at least at this point in time, cover him as 24 far as 2.02 is concerned.

I didn’t think it 7 was -- I thought it could be risky doing so.

I expect 14 people in family law litigation at the very least to be 15 anxious. Okay? 16 THE WITNESS: Okay. 17 THE COURT: Some of that sometimes rises to 18 the level where they need medication and assistance. 19 I’ve dealt with lots of things in my career and people 20 who stood in front of me. I know bipolar folks who are 21 on medication who are just fine.

And -- go ahead. 7 THE COURT: If she thinks she knows better 8 than her medical providers, then I need to know that. 9 Does she think she knows better than her medical 10 providers? 11 THE WITNESS: I don’t believe so. And I 12 again discussed with her last week, in fact, I documented 13 in my notes, whether or not she’s prescribed certain 14 medication and how much and those things really is only 15 at the discretion of her physician and no one else. 16 THE COURT: And you don’t know this, but I 17 know this, you don’t know this about me, but I know that 18 depression can take people to some very, very bad places. 19 THE WITNESS: Yes, indeed. 20 THE COURT: And when they’re in those very 21 bad places, really bad things can happen.

There was one extended period a few years ago of 3 about nine or ten months where she didn’t see me, but 4 she’s been very consistent in her visits with me over the 5 last five years and in contacting me if there were issues 6 or concerns. 7 So I haven’t been worried that she’s gonna 8 disappear or that I’m not gonna hear from her. She even 9 notified me that she was going to be trying to get off 10 her medication. I said I think that’s a bad idea, but 11 again, she told me these things, and so communication is 12 good, I believe. And I think as long as she is seeing me 13 consistently, or someone, and I think being able to get 14 information, and I have in the past. Her mother 15 accompanied her to some visits back in I think 2009, when 16 there were concerns, so I think the family support is 17 there and they would contact me if there were any issues 18 or concerns they had, as well. 19 THE COURT: Okay. I’m not going to use my 20 words correctly, so feel free to correct me, okay. Are 21 you involved in her, for lack of a better word, treatment 22 in relation to a suicide attempt or multiple suicide 23 attempts. 24 THE WITNESS: That’s not why she initially 25 came to see me, no. But there was an alleged suicide

Examination by the Court 1 attempt in 2009 where she was taken by paramedics to the 2 hospital for a brief detainment at the hospital, and then 3 the most recent. And that was disputed as Co whether or 4 not that was actually a suicide attempt. But the most 5 recent one here at the end of 2013 when she was 6 hospitalized for several days. So I’m aware of those. 7 THE COURT: Why do you say it’s disputed? B I want you to assume I know nothing. 9 THE WITNESS: This was during a period of a 10 very high stress with her job at the time and a 11 supervisor she had at work and the amount of hours she 12 was working, job was very stressful. And she was taken 13 by paramedics. I think a family member called because 14 she was banging her head against the wall. And she 15 hadn’t been sleeping well and had been taking more of her 16 sleep medication to try to get some sleep. I think a 17 combination of all those things led to this wondering had 18 she intentionally taken the medication and banging her 19 head against the wall if she was intentionally to harm 20 herself. And she denied that was a suicide attempt, just 21 that she was frustrated with the job situation and to 22 take the medication was to try to help with the anxiety 23 and insomnia, and it was about work. 24 THE COURT: Okay.

Examination by the Court 1 opposed to the counseling guy? 2 THE WITNESS: We talk about lots of things, 3 her family, her job, her immediate family with the baby. 4 But, yeah, it’s medications and addressing her anxiety S and depression, but we do cover all the things going on 6 in her life at the time. Sometimes we talk about 7 relationships. Sometimes we talk about issues at work, 8 specifically not about medications, whatever is going on 9 at the time. 10 THE COURT: Medically, if there’s going to 11 be an issue, a problem from her being off her 12 medications, how would that generally manifest itself? 13 THE WITNESS: Changes in mood, changes in 14 behavior, changes in sleep pattern. It would be apparent 15 to other people around her, I think, because it has been 16 in the past. I think she had gotten off her medicine for 17 a time after she got married and, of course, while she 18 was pregnant. While she was pregnant, she did fairly 19 well. I think the previous time, which I think was 20 around 2010, her moods got worse. 21 So that’s the concern I have is that moods 22 get worse, and then when her moods get worse a lot of 23 times it results in irritability and anger, sleep 24 problems. So I’m not a big fan of doing trials off 25 medication, especially when there’s been a recurrent

Examination by the Court 1 history of a problem. 2 THE COURT: In your medical opinion, what 3 is the best medical course of treatment for her, at least 4 involving you. I’m not asking about other stuff. I’m 5 talking about her mental health. 6 THE WITNESS: I think to remain on the 7 medication that has been helpful to her in the past or 8 helped her to provide mood stability. What we discussed 9 last week was that the medication -- for example, the 10 medication for anxiety didn’t seem to be helping a whole 11 lot. She just knew through all this there was going to 12 be anxiety and the medication was not helping, so she got 13 off of that. She was pretty exhausted by the end of the 14 day and so sleep wasn’t really an issue. So she didn’t 15 feel she needed the sleep medication. So she had 16 substituted an over-the-counter natural supplement as an 17 antidepressant instead of the prescription medication. 18 THE COURT: Can I assume part of the 19 checkups with you involve blood work to see how her 20 medication levels are? 21 THE WITNESS: Only if necessary. There are 22 only certain medications that require that. 23 THE COURT: Do any of the medications she’s 24 on require that? 25 THE WITNESS: Not the ones she was most

Examination by the Court 1 recently on, no. 2 THE COURT: If she’s on her medications, do 3 you believe she poses a risk of harm to her child? 4 THE WITNESS: Do you want yes or no? 5 THE COURT: If it’s not a fair question, 6 Cell me. 7 THE WITNESS: I think it’s more complicated 8 than whether she’s taking her medication or not. It has 9 to do with the issues the stressors that have been going 10 on within the family over the last six months or so, six 11 to nine months. I think that has been the biggest 12 influence in what has affected her anxiety and mood. 13 THE COURT: The stressors including this 14 lawsuit? 15 THE WITNESS: Yes. And especially -- and 16 this happened before the first of this year, but with 17 other stressors while everyone was in the home together. 18 But, yes, I look back at the last five years and for the 19 most part her moods have been stable. When they haven’t, 20 we’ve adjusted things and they’ve improved. So I have a 21 long history of mood stability with her going back quite 22 a while. 23 So I’m fairly confident that going forward 24 that if she remains in treatment, which I fully expect 25 she will, that her moods will remain stable and when

Examination by the Court 1 things need adjusting, we will, as we have in the past. 2 Under those circumstances, the woman I’ve treated for the 3 past five years, no, I don’t believe poses any risk to 4 her child. 5 THE COURT: Okay. 6 THE WITNESS: Even in this period of high 7 stress with things going on and with divorce and custody, 8 I don’t believe she poses a risk to the child. She never 9 has indicated that. 10 I don’t believe she poses a risk to 11 herself. I think that the issue that led to her taking 12 the pills and going to the hospital at the end of 13 December were due to an intense amount of stress with all 14 the things going on, frustration, feeling desperate, that 15 nothing was changing, nothing was going the way she 16 thought it was going to happen. And it was a rather 17 impulsive move out of desperation, not something she had 18 been thinking about or planning. 19 THE COURT: Not to be a smartaleck, but I’m 20 gonna be one. 21 THE WITNESS: Okay. 22 THE COURT: Somebody who hurts themselves 23 or someone else impulsively hurts themselves or someone 24 else just as much as if it were planned out. You know, 25 the drunk driver kills somebody just as dead as the guy

That’s why you and I are having this 5 conversation. What else do I need to know? 6 THE WITNESS: Well, I think that episode we 7 were just alluding to was out of character, but it 8 happened. So, you know, you can’t discount that. But 9 I’ve never had concerns that she was suicidal on an 10 ongoing basis. It really hasn’t been an issue 11 whatsoever. And there are some patients that is, it’s a 12 regular or recurring issue. I’ve had absolutely no 13 concerns that she’s had any thoughts or feelings towards 14 harming the baby whatsoever, nothing. 15 THE COURT: Okay. Thank you. You can step 16 down. You’re free to go. 17 THE WITNESS: Thank you, sir. 18 (Witness exits courtroom) 19 THE COURT: Mr. Corbitt, is that 20 psychologist around? 21 MR.

Consulting? 20 What is your role in this lawsuit? 21 THE WITNESS: I am evaluating Maryam 22 Farahmand. 23 THE COURT: All right.

What sorts of things can 17 trigger it to come out of remission? 18 THE WITNESS: Sir, would you say that 19 again, please? 20 THE COURT: I don’t know if it’s even a 21 smart question. You said we have this disorder that’s in 22 remission. 23 THE WITNESS: Yes, sir. 24 THE COURT: I’m trying to ascertain what 25 can, if anything, can cause it to come out of remission?

Examination by the Court 1 THE WITNESS: Yes, sir. It’s a very smart 2 question. The separation from her husband of a marital 3 circumstance that was discouraging, without hopefulness 4 and overwhelmingly disparaging to her self-esteem, 5 without criticism of Mr. Farahmand, coming out of that 6 circumstance into a single and independent life could 7 cause a lifting of the depression and hopefulness about 8 her future. 9 THE COURT: All right. I’m gonna try and 10 translate that into English. And you have every right, 11 ability, or whatever, to tell me I’m wrong. 12 Are you telling me that the stress and 13 anxiety, pressure, whatever the right word is, from --14 that results from family law litigation and the very 15 public systematic dismantling of a relationship could 16 trigger an episode? 17 THE WITNESS: Could trigger an episode of 18 health, yes. 19 THE COURT: All right. So what kind of 20 help she need? 21 THE WITNESS: The kind of help she needs is 22 what she’s getting, and that is continued psychiatric 23 counseling from Dr. Woods, continued evaluation and 24 support from myself, and she’ll be fine. 25 THE COURT: All right. In your opinion,

Examination by the Court 1 does she pose a physical threat to her child? 2 THE WITNESS: Absolutely, unequivocally no. 3 THE COURT: In your opinion, does she pose 4 an emotional or psychological threat to her child? 5 THE WITNESS: Absolutely not. 6 THE COURT: When did you evaluate her? 7 THE WITNESS: I began evaluating her at the 8 end of February, February 25th of this year. 9 THE COURT: And if you know -- well, can 10 you tell me whether or not your tests are affected by 11 virtue of the fact that someone might have been born or 12 raised in another country? 13 THE WITNESS: Absolutely, yes. 14 THE COURT: Was she? 15 THE WITNESS: She was, in fact. 16 THE COURT: And how does that factor into 17 the validity, lack of validity, adjustment, or whatever, 18 the grading scheme of the test? 19 THE WITNESS: It makes it challenging for 20 someone like me to determine whether it has the validity 21 of a person who was raised in a different family 22 structure in Iran. But at the same time, Your Honor, 23 she’s also a Ph.D in neuroscience, so she’s very 24 sophisticated, as well, and that also had to be factored 25 into my evaluation of her results.

Examination by the Court 1 THE COURT: Okay. 2 THE WITNESS: She is, herself, like a 3 psychologist, a neuroscientist. 4 THE COURT: So can I assume she is like 5 many people in the medical profession, a lousy patient? 6 Is this like lawyers are lousy clients in lawsuits? 7 THE WITNESS: No. She’s very receptive to 8 having all of the enhanced mental health and parenting 9 that she can ascribe and benefit from. She is a good and 10 is a compliant patient. 11 THE COURT: You know she’s taken herself 12 off her meds? 13 THE WITNESS: I do, sir. 14 THE COURT: And your two cents about that? 15 THE WITNESS: My two cents is that she is 16 functioning very well without her medication. She has 17 made an adjustment. I’m sure that Dr. Woods would have 18 preferred a gradual withdrawal, rather than an abrupt 19 withdrawal, but everybody acknowledges that she’s doing 20 quite well without her medication. 21 THE COURT: What’s your understanding for 22 how long she’s been off her meds? 23 THE WITNESS: Several weeks. 24 THE COURT: In general, just in a general 25 psychological health of someone -- and let’s assume that

Examination by the Court 1 we are involved in contentious family law litigation, not 2 just normal stuff but above the average level of 3 contention. All right. Someone with her mental health 4 status, would it be wiser for her to be on medication to 5 assist with the stress and the anxiety, or not? 6 THE WITNESS: It certainly should be 7 evaluated between herself and Dr. Woods. They may 8 determine that some antidepressant or antianxiety is 9 indicated. 10 THE COURT: Okay. Is there any other 11 psychological issues that are out there other than the 12 depression and anxiety? 13 THE WITNESS: She has a marvelous support 14 network of her parents, of her professor at the 15 University of North Texas --16 MR. NACE: I would object as 17 non-responsive. 18 THE COURT: Sustained. Bad question or 19 we’re not communicating. I’m not interested in her 20 support network, as politely -- for this question. 21 THE WITNESS: Yes, sir. 22 THE COURT: I need to know if there’s any 23 other mental health -- oh, let’s use the word diagnosis, 24 word, phrase, I’m not speaking coherently, anything else 25 under whatever DSM we are currently using, four, five,

Examination by the Court 1 whatever it is? 2 THE WITNESS: Yes, sir. If I understand 3 your question --4 THE COURT: Is she also a paranoid 5 schizophrenic? 6 THE WITNESS: Absolutely, unequivocally 7 not. She does have an apprehension about the intentions 8 of her husband which borderline on extreme 9 suspiciousness. I’m not sure that that’s unjustified 10 under the circumstances. 11 THE COURT: It’s normal in any family law 12 lawsuit? 13 THE WITNESS: In my experience, yes. 14 There’s also a heightened sense of emotional reaction to 15 matters which can be treated in psychotherapy. And there 16 is a history of depression in her family, all of that is 17 true. 18 THE COURT: Okay. That’s what I need to 19 know. Thank you. You can step down. 20 MR. CORBITT: Your Honor, may I ask --21 THE COURT: No. I don’t need anything 22 else. I know what I need to know. 23 MR. CORBITT: He prepared a report. 24 THE COURT: Don’t need a report, 25 respectfully.

CORBITT: Without seeing our requested 7 rulings? 8 THE COURT: Oh, I’ll be happy to look at 9 your requested rulings. I was unclear. 10 MR. CORBITT: Usually I give them to you at 11 the first. 12 (Pause in proceedings) 13 THE COURT: All right. Gentlemen, make 14 sure you have your pads and papers and that we answer any 15 questions before you leave, because I don’t want to have 16 to do this another time for temporary orders. 17 The parties are gonna be appointed 18 temporary joint managing conservators. Temporarily Dad 19 is gonna be primary with the right to establish the 20 primary residence of the child within Collin County. 21 His financial situation is such that I’m 22 not ordering child support at this time. He has the 23 ability to take care of the kid without a contribution 24 from her. 25 We’re going to enter the standard

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

76 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 injunctions with standard language. So everybody in this 2 room listen very carefully to me. I don’t care which 3 side of this room you’re supporting, or not. No one says 4 anything derogatory, insulting, meanspirited, demeaning, S insulting about anyone in this lawsuit, period. 6 Especially in the presence of this kid. And if you can’t 7 hold your tongue, don’t say it around the child. And if 8 you can’t, you should expect me to do something about it 9 and you won’t like it; like put you in jail, like call 10 the State department, or anything else I need to do to 11 make sure this kid is safe. 12 All passports, American and Iranian, for 13 this child will be surrendered into the registry of the 14 Court. All passports from the parties will be put into 15 the registry of the Court, American or Iranian. All 16 parties are enjoined from seeking replacement passports 17 or applying for new passports for themselves or their --18 or this child. 19 If you have a business trip, I’ll be happy 20 to give you a passport. If you’ve got a real reason to 21 travel, I’ll be happy to give you your passport. And 22 both parties will inform the United States State 23 Department pursuant to that wonderful standard language 24 about restrictions on child - - this kid does not get on 25 an airplane, or a jet, or a helicopter, or a ship,

1 period. This child does not leave the United States, 2 period. 3 Mother is ordered to continue her 4 psychological course of treatment with Dr. Woods, if that 5 involves counseling, medication, or whatever, and to 6 abide by and follow all of his orders and instructions. 7 Mr. Gordon is a forensic guy, you can continue with him, 8 or not. I’m not ordering you to. I’m not forbidding you 9 to. Dr. Woods is the main primary treatment guy. You 10 will continue in your treatment with Dr. Woods. 11 Everyone in this room understand that if 12 somebody has a chemical imbalance in their brain, I don’t 13 hold it against them if they are dealing with it 14 appropriately. 15 Now, I’ve got an eight-month-old kid. And 16 Mr. Nace, just so you’ll know, while this testimony about 17 another wedding is interesting, even assuming for the 18 sake of discussion that some ceremony was performed, that 19 license isn’t on file, so I don’t have a valid prior 20 ceremonial marriage. I may or I may not have a valid 21 informal marriage and that would certainly be some 22 evidence of it. But you’re miles from at the very least 23 cohabitation. So at least today, I’m not -- don’t have 24 any concerns about there being a bigamy situation. That 25 doesn’t mean there isn’t one. I’m just saying today, in

78 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 this temporary hearing, that’s not causing me heartburn. 2 Now, who’s got medical insurance on this 3 child? 4 MR. NACE: Mr. Farahmand does. 5 THE COURT: All right. Mr. Farahmand, 6 you’ll continue covering this child with your medical 7 insurance. Any uncovered medical expenses of the parties 8 will be split 50/50. 9 Mr. Corbitt, you been paid yet? 10 MR. CORBITT: Sir? 11 THE COURT: Have you been paid? 12 MR. COR.BITT: Yes, sir, through borrowed 13 money. 14 MR. NACE: Twice what we were, Your Honor. 15 He got a $20,000 check; I got ten. 16 THE COURT: Cool beans. I’m not worried 17 about your client’s ability to cover the check, Mr. Nace. 18 MR. CORBITT: Judge, was husband to 19 continue the medical on the --20 THE COURT: Sir? 21 MR. CORBITT: Was the husband -- excuse me. 22 Mr. Farahmand, was he also ordered to continue medical on 23 the Mom, also? 24 THE COURT: Yeah. If Mom’s covered, Mom 25 stays covered. And Mom pays any uncovered expenses that

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

79 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 are in her name, and Dad pays any uncovered expenses in 2 his name. Because you see, right now I don’t have reason 3 to think this is not a valid marriage. 4 MR. NACE: Judge, briefly, Ms. Farahmand 5 has her own health insurance, not through my client, just 6 for clarification. 7 MR. CORBITT: No. Mr. Nace says yes but --8 THE COURT: Just listen very carefully to 9 me. Whoever had insurance the day this divorce was 10 filed, there better gosh, darn be an insurance policy in 11 place right now. I will be most put out if someone 12 thought it was wise to cancel it or not re-up it. 13 If you each have health insurance, you do. 14 It one of you has been carrying health insurance on the 15 other because it’s a better policy or better premiums, or 16 whatever, then you have been. If somebody’s changed it, 17 change it back. 18 The parties will be awarded the temporary 19 use of the vehicles in their name -- or in their 20 possession rather. How is the 2014 vehicle being paid 21 for? Whoever’s been paying for them keeps paying them. 22 So I suspect, Mr. Farahmand, that’s you. 23 Ms. Farahmand, you don’t do anything to 24 diminish the value of that vehicle. You don’t scratch 25 it. You don’t bang it up. You make sure the oil gets

1 changed. You’re responsible for the maintenance and 2 upkeep, but make sure that it’s done. 3 I’m not gonna interfere with any contracts 4 that are out there with this car agency or this leasing S entity. Whoever’s been making the insurance payments 6 will continue to make them on the vehicles. 7 And I expect both sides to keep a running 8 tab of everything that they spend. Because if I find at 9 a final hearing that there’s not a valid marriage in 10 front of me and all I’m dealing with is a SAPCR, people 11 should expect me to award judgments for folks. Because 12 I’m operating right now on the assumption that I’m 13 dealing with a valid marriage and this is a community 14 property state. 15 Is everyone a member of the same mosque? 16 The only reason I ask is I don’t want this carrying over 17 there, so make sure it doesn’t. 18 With respect to this child, visitation is 19 always as agreed between the parties, comma, in the 20 absence of an agreement this is what we’re gonna do for 21 the next couple of months. By that I mean three. 22 Mom will have two hours visitation on 23 Tuesdays and Thursdays, two hours in a block. It will 24 bees supervised by her parents or any other competent 25 adult. The person in possession of the child drops off

81 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 the child. Now, if this child is in daycare, for 2 example, then we’ll do the pick up and drop off -- well, 3 we’ll do the pick up at the daycare center. If there’s 4 not daycare, then Dad, you bring the kid to Mom. Mom, at 5 the end of your two hours, you return the kid to Dad. 6 Any competent adult can transport the kid. So if the two 7 of you can’t inhabit the same area and not be at one 8 another’s throats, have somebody else do it because it’s 9 what’s best for your son. 10 You’ll have up to four hours on the 11 weekend. The weekend in my world is Saturday and Sunday. 12 That will continue being at Hannah’s House. Mom, you 13 make the time arrangements up to four hours in a block. 14 Mom and Dad will split the cost of that 50/50. 15 At the end of three months I want a report 16 from Dr. Woods. I want to know how Mom is doing, what 17 her mental state is. 18 if you can’t keep your mouth shut in my 19 courtroom, leave. You can make whatever editorial 20 comment you want in the hallway. You don’t make it in my 21 courtroom. That’s for those of you on the front row, not 22 those of you at counsel table. 23 Now, given all that’s going on in this 24 lawsuit, I think an amicus attorney is appropriate. 25 MR. CORBITT: May we ask costs, Your Honor?

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

82 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 THE COURT: Sir? 2 MR. CORBITT: May we ask costs since she 3 has no funds, none? 4 THE COURT: She’s a professor at the S University of North Texas or her parents are? S MR. CORBITT: She has a degree. She 7 doesn’t have a job at this point in time. She was 8 working for the pharmacy that they had an interest in 9 called Renner Pharmacy, which she would be glad to go 10 back to, subject to your approval. 11 THE COURT: Get a job is the short answer. 12 But, Mr. Nace, explain to your very brilliant tax 13 attorney client that I’m going to want to know where 14 every penny in his estate is, whether it’s his separate 15 property, whether it’s community property, whether it’s 16 in a family trust or some other kind of business entity, 17 whether it’s structured or not, every account, every 18 stock, every bond, every spec of dirt, every vehicle, 19 every thing. Because whatever is separate property, I 20 need to make sure I award as separate property and I 21 don’t screw up. 22 Both of your clients need to understand 23 that if anybody’s been moving money or assets, there’ll 24 be a price to pay for that. For some reason in the past, 25 when I’ve dealt with people of certain nationalities in

1 high conflict litigation, more often than not funds get 2 moved. Don’t do that. If they’ve been moved, return 3 them. 4 Now, I can have Dad pay the money up-front 5 against a final number at final hearing. If there’s a 6 valid marriage, there is; if there isn’t, there isn’t. 7 I’m just trying to figure out who I need to do this. 8 Mr. Nace, you got anybody in mind? 9 MR. NACE: Your Honor, I want the best 10 person qualified, the most intelligent lawyer that His 11 Honor has had before him. 12 THE COURT: I’m sorry? 13 MR. NACE: I want the most qualified, most 14 intelligent family law expert that His Honor has had 15 before him. And I’ll certainly defer to His Honor’s 16 wisdom here. I don’t have anybody specific in mind, no, 17 sir. 18 THE COURT: You got anybody in particular, 19 Mr. Corbitt? 20 MR. CORBITT: Judge, I’m sure we know the 21 same people. I have no problem with you doing the 22 picking, sir. 23 MR. NACE: Debbie McKoy seems to be fairly 24 objective and fairly well-known in Collin County. 25 THE COURT: I’m trying to think of people

84 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 Chat I know that aren’t doormats and who I haven’t picked 2 on lately. And while you’re absolutely right about 3 Ms. McKoy, I’ve put her in the middle of two or three 4 other things right now, and I think if I’m not off her 5 Christmas card list, I’m about to be. I’m going down 6 this list. She was on that list. 7 Diana Porter is your amicus. Her offices 8 are here in Mclcinney. And she is an amicus attorney, so 9 that the record is clear. 10 In three months, so everyone knows, if I 11 need to adjust, change, or otherwise tweak the visitation 12 schedule, I will. I’m assuming I’ll have a couple of 13 months without there being problems. If there aren’t 14 problems, people should expect me to expand visitation or 15 to dial back on supervision. 16 But, for the short period of time, 17 especially in light of Dr. Woods’ testimony, I just want 18 to make sure. That’s all. If Mom can handle being off 19 her meds, she can. If she needs help, that’s fine. 20 That’s what I’m trying to do right now. 21 Anything else from your side of the room? 22 MR. NACE: Yes, Your Honor a couple of 23 things, if I may. 24 THE COURT: I’m sorry? 25 MR. NACE: A couple of things, if I may.

85 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 Just for clarification, with regard to the two hours on 2 Tuesday and Thursday. 3 THE COURT: I don’t know your client’s 4 schedule. I don’t know her schedule. I would like it 5 done before this kid’s bedtime and so he can get back to 6 his Dad and sleep in his bed and not Dad have to deal 7 with a kid who’s wound upcoming back in, and the normal 8 8:00 o’clock bedtime now becomes 10:00 or 11:00 with a 9 kid who’s bouncing off the walls. So if the kid’s normal 10 bedtime is, pick a number, 8:00 p.m., have him home a 11 half-an-hour before his normal bedtime and back it two 12 hours up from that. 13 If Mom is not working and this child has 14 two hours in the middle of the day, and I have 15 grandparents who are ready, willing and able to 16 supervise, then two hours in the middle of the day will 17 work when it can be a playtime. I prefer it not be the 18 middle of the boy’s naptime so Mom, A, has a visit and, 19 B, again, the kid isn’t bouncing off the walls. But it’s 20 going to be difficult to structure those things. 21 If your clients cannot work this out, come 22 see me and I’ll pick two hours. I’m assuming that your 23 client has coming up on what should be a busy time for a 24 tax lawyer, so I’m assuming there are some arrangements 25 during the daytime that have been made for this child.

86 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 Nobody’s bothered to tell me really what they are. We 2 need to deal with that. I don’t care when the two hours

3 1 is but I would prefer it be at a time when it can be,

4 for lack of a better word, a positive and productive time 5 for Mom with minimum inconvenience for Dad upon the 6 return of the child. That’s where I’m coming from. 7 MR. NACE: With regard to communications, 8 Your Honor. 9 THE COURT: I’m sorry? 10 MR. NACE: With regard to communications, 11 if Ms. Farahmand --12 THE COURT: If you guys need to communicate 13 with one another, you will either, A, use your lawyers 14 or, B, if it is about the child and an emergency -- and 15 so you will know, my definition of an emergency means 16 somebody is bringing this child to a doctor or a 17 hospital. You can text or call one another if it’s an 18 emergency. If we are talking about scheduling or 19 otherwise, you will e-mail one another. 20 MR. NACE: Judge, with regard to 21 supervision, I’m assuming direct line of sight. 22 THE COURT: I’m sorry? 23 MR. NACE: With regard to supervision by 24 her parents, direct line of sight, is that --25 THE COURT: Same room.

87 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 MR. NACE: And with regard --2 THE COURT: If they go to the park, grandma 3 or grandpa gets to stroll down to the park. But if it’s 4 a two-story building and Mom and the child are in the 5 bedroom upstairs, grandparents are upstairs in the same 6 room or in the hallway. If the kid is downstairs with 7 Mom, grandparents are downstairs with the kid and Mom. 8 We’re not on different floors. We’re not taking naps. 9 We are -- supervise means supervise. It means you’ve got 10 an eye on it, but you don’t have to be in the middle of 11 the conversation. I’m assuming -- are the grandparents 12 in my courtroom? 13 MR. COR.BITT: Yeah. 14 THE COURT: Grandpa just listen. Sit. You 15 don’t need to stand. Just listen. I assume that you 16 don’t think your daughter is a threat at all to your 17 grandson. I want you to understand that I need to make 18 sure that she is not. Okay. So that’s part of what this 19 supervised visitation is for is so that I have a comfort 20 factor, not you, me. And if you or your wife are going 21 to be supervising, it means you are there, you can see 22 what’s going on, you can hear what’s going on. If you go 23 out to the grocery store, for example, you and your wife, 24 the child is with you. You don’t leave the building and 25 leave the kid behind with Mom. If they want to go down

88 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 to the park, you go with them. If they want to go to the 2 shopping mall, you go with them. And hopefully, in about 3 three months I can lighten up on this. But for the next 4 three months, you and your wife are not just my eyes and 5 ears, you’re his eyes and ears, and his eyes and ears. 6 Clear? 7 (Person nods head up and down) 8 THE COURT: Okay. 9 MR. NACE: With regard to the up to four 10 hours at Hannah’s House on Saturdays and Sundays, does 11 His Honor mean every week? 12 THE COURT: Every week, four hours either 13 day, not both days. Four hours on Saturday or four hours 14 on Sunday. But depending on what somebody’s schedule is 15 Saturday might work better than Sunday. Depending on 16 what Hannah’s House schedule is one may work better than 17 the other. I don’t know those things. I’ll let these 18 guys make those arrangements. 19 MR. NACE: With regard to the costs and the 20 allocation therefore, Judge, with regard to Hannah’s 21 House and Diana Porter, could the Court give some 22 clarification on the expenses? 23 THE COURT: Sure. And everybody is ordered 24 to fill out whatever paperwork they need to fill out this 25 week to make sure visitation can start this coming

89 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 weekend. I’ve had people in the past in other lawsuits 2 get cute and not fill out paperwork that has prevented 3 visitation from happening. If you don’t think that I 4 won’t react badly to that, try me. So everybody fills 5 out all the paperwork. 6 MR. NACE: And Judge, just for 7 clarification, the allocation of costs at Hannah’s House 8 and Diana Porter? 9 THE COURT: It’s 50/50. 10 MR. NACE: And last, Judge, during the 11 pendency of this matter my client had access to an 12 account for the Renner Pharmacy which has since 13 discontinued due to, we believe, Ms. Farahmand’s conduct. 14 We are lacking those records. We believe they were moved 15 by Ms. Farahmand. We’ve asked for them back and not 16 gotten them. There are client files that are also 17 missing. And so my client --18 THE COURT: Whose records? 19 MR. NACE: Stand up and address the Court. 20 MR. FARAHMAND: Your Honor, I was put out 21 of the house on December 28th. When I re-entered it on 22 January 2nd, all my business records, sales records of 23 previous businesses, financial documents, hard drives, 24 client records, missing from my office. I have requested 25 from Maryam to return those. She claims she does not

90 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 have those. And that has caused a huge, huge burden on 2 me to get it because they were all original documents, 3 the sale of Cedar Hospital, the sale of Inner Health, and 4 my client files. And I have pictures showing when I did 5 come into the house the computers were taken apart and 6 the hard drives missing. 7 MR. NACE: And in conjunction of that, Your 8 Honor --9 THE COURT: Well, right now I’m not dealing 10 with a discovery dispute. But if anybody has -- I 11 misunderstood. 12 MR. NACE: There are two components there, 13 Judge. One is access to the -- I believe, the Chase 14 Renner Pharmacy bank account which was interrupted by 15 Ms. Farahmand. We’ve got her deposition testimony to 16 that effect. Also, the spoliation of documents which we 17 need back --18 THE COURT: It’s not spoliation yet. And 19 that would be a very incendiary word to be using. 20 MR. NACE: We don’t have necessary 21 documents anymore. 22 THE COURT: All right. Well, sit down. 23 I’ll handle this. Mr. Corbitt. 24 MR. CORBITT: Yes, sir. 25 THE COURT: If someone, either your client

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

91 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 or someone thinking they were assisting your client, 2 removed a whole bunch of records, or any records, or hard 3 drives, or otherwise, see that they get returned. 4 Explain to your client that if somebody did that, that 5 there are a whole lot of problems with admissibility of 6 things. And if they’re his business records, they’re his 7 business records. And if they’re his business records, 8 since that’s pretty much where the money is going to be 9 coming from so I can split things up, he needs his 10 business records. By the same token, Mr. Farahmand. If 11 they get returned, they don’t get edited. 12 MR. FARAHMAND: They won’t, Your Honor. No 13 problem. 14 THE COURT: Hopefully not. I have lots of 15 people in my history as a family law judge who are worth 16 lots of money, and some people not worth anything, who go 17 to great lengths to try and minimize their financial 18 holdings. I had a guy week before last who was worth 19 many millions of dollars who wanted me to believe he had 20 nothing. It didn’t go well for him. 21 But from a temporary orders purpose, is 22 there anything else that you need me to address? I’ll 23 get to your side in a second. 24 MR. NACE: Let me --25 THE COURT: Mr. Farahmand, sit.

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

92 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 MR. NACE: Your Honor, I think everything 2 from our vantage point has been addressed. I think that 3 the appointment of Diana Porter clarifies the need of a 4 social study. S THE COURT: If Ms. Porter tells me I need a 6 social study, I’ll have a social study done. But if I 7 do, it will be more than three months from now. Because 8 if I move towards -- if I move towards less supervised 9 visitation, then a social study that would occur in the 10 next two or three months would essentially be useless and 11 would probably require another one, which is additional 12 and unnecessary costs. So I may very well do it, but it 13 won’t be today. 14 MR. NACE: We would like to get a baseline 15 of drug usage, Judge. 16 THE COURT: I’m sorry? 17 MR. NACE: We would like to get a baseline 18 of drug usage. And certainly to that end, we’re okay 19 with mutual random UA and drug testing being done. 20 THE COURT: Don’t need it. I’ve got no 21 evidence in front of me that tells me either one of these 22 people are using illegal medication. I’ve got no reason 23 to believe that they are. 24 MR. NACE: I think that’s it for us, Judge. 25 I’m sorry. With regard to the usage of the Chase bank

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

93 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 account, Your Honor, that pertains to a business my 2 client started before marriage. That is the bank account 3 we need the exclusive use of. Ms. Farahmand tried to 4 access that account at least four times, admitted to in S her deposition, during the pendency of this divorce and 6 it’s now locked up by Chase Bank for investigation of 7 fraud. 8 THE COURT: Well, then it’s locked up by 9 Chase Bank. Chase Bank isn’t in my room. I don’t have 10 an order to tell Chase to knock it off. All right. If 11 the lawyers want to show up with lawyers from Chase Bank 12 and have a discussion with the trial judge, we can do 13 that. But today there’s not a whole heck of a lot I can 14 do about Chase’s internal investigation. 15 MR. NACE: We would just ask that my client 16 have the exclusive use so that he re-access that account. 17 THE COURT: You’ve heard what I’ve said. 18 have no idea why Chase has locked it up. I don’t know 19 why Chase would deny your client access, especially if 20 they’re looking at fraud, that would mean they would be 21 concerned that someone other than your client is trying 22 to access it. I don’t know that they would be very upset 23 about your client accessing it. So if they locked him 24 out, I don’t have the whole story. And Chase isn’t here 25 to tell me. So today, no. If Chase needs -- really

CORBITT: Yes, sir. Thank you. With 6 regard to the travel time, on that two hours, that 7 doesn’t count travel time, does it, when the kiddo is 8 being transferred? 9 THE COURT: Where is the kiddo right now? 10 MR. COR.BITT: Well, he’s with Dad. 11 THE COURT: Were does Dad live? 12 MR. CORBITT: Dad lives right off 13 Frankford. He’s got a law firm here in Collin. 14 THE COURT: Where’s the kid during the 15 daytime? 16 MR. FARAHMAND: Your Honor, he’s at the 17 house. 18 THE COURT: As nice as I can --19 MR. FAR]4HMAND: 20 . 21 MR. CORBITT: The child has been kept at 22 the law firm. 23 THE COURT: There are worse places to keep 24 a kid. It’s not ideal, but there are worse places. 25 Now, where does your client live?

Kimberly Tinsley, CSR #3611 (972) 548-4247

95 Ruling March 10, 2014

1 MR. COR.BITT: She lives with her parents in 2 Frisco. 3 THE COURT: Okay. Frisco, Texas, is just 4 up the road from Frankford and the toll road. 5 MR. CORBITT: Yes, sir. 6 THE COURT: Probably ten to 15 minutes. 7 Parent in possession drops kid off, that’s when the clock 8 starts running. So, yeah, it will be 15 minutes to get 9 the kiddo back. Now, if you want to do this in the 10 middle of the day, do it in the middle of the day. 11 That’s why all of my visitation orders read just like the 12 Family Code says they’re suppose to: As agreed between 13 the parties, comma, in the absence of an agreement. 14 If this child’s been kept at a law firm, 15 then I assume there are people at the law firm who 16 actually have legal business to be doing rather than 17 tending to an eight-month-old. Because at eight months 18 my son was climbing things and launching himself from the 19 tallest thing he could launch himself from, and that’s 20 just not a good kind of kid to have in the middle of a 21 law firm, especially if he’s launching himself from the 22 top of computers and those sorts of things. But 23 eight-month-olds bounce, so I wouldn’t be too concerned. 24 So if the kid is at the law firm, Dad, get 25 the kid to Mom, and the clock starts running. And Mom,

1 in two hours, unless someone says, no, two hours and 15 2 minutes is just fine, have the kid back in two hours. 3 Next issue. 4 MR. CORBITT: Yes. And, Judge, with regard 5 to Hannah’s House, you didn’t say Saturday and Sunday? 6 THE COURT: I said Saturday or -- I know 7 what I said, and I know why it was confusing, which is 8 why I’m clarifying. Either Saturday or Sunday and it 9 doesn’t have to be the same day each week. People have 10 schedules and people have things, and they’ve got to work 11 around them. That’s what I’m trying to accommodate as 12 much as I can. I’ll give her up to four hours on either 13 of those days. I don’t want it to be two hours here or 14 two hours there, three hours in one. I want it to be up 15 to a four-hour block. 16 MR. CORBITT: Okay. Judge, speaking of 17 Hannah’s House, now, we’ve had problems in the past here 18 in the 42 hours we’ve seen the child since January 4th. 19 She’s not allowed to take any pictures at Hannah’s House 20 because Ms. Stone over here is afraid --21 THE COURT: And she’s got Tuesday and 22 Thursday where she can burn as much film or as much 23 memory on a camera or a cell phone as she wants to. 24 MR.

And I would S prefer this be a time for Mom and . 6 MR. CORBITT: Yes, sir. And I think that’s 7 a good idea. It’s just that they’re ordered out of the 8 Hannah’s House parking lot, and I don’t know why he would 9 have the authority to do that. 10 THE COURT: I don’t know is the short 11 answer, okay. 12 MR. CORBITT: Okay. 13 THE COURT: It may simply be their policies 14 because their rooms just aren’t that big. Because if we 15 bring the extended family, friends, and all concerned, if 16 you can fill my courtroom, I promise you, you can fill a 17 room at Hannah’s House. 18 MR. CORBITT: Makes all the sense in the 19 world. 20 THE COURT: Grandparents will have Tuesdays 21 and Thursdays with and their daughter. Saturday 22 or Sunday I want her to have as much time with her son as 23 she can in a positive and -- I know it’s not ideal. 24 MR. CORBITT: Yes, sir. Thank you. 25 THE COURT: Okay.

COREITT: Next two issues is, number 5 one, temporary spousal support. We have no money, have 6 no job, have no funds. All three credit cards have been 7 canceled, canceled. 8 THE COURT: If credit cards were canceled 9 after this lawsuit was filed, uncancel them. 10 MR. NACE: Judge, the testimony actually 11 during the deposition was that my client canceled them 12 prior to filing. And further, it’s his credit, not hers. 13 THE COURT: Respectfully, right now in my 14 courtroom I don’t have reason to believe that this is 15 anything other than a presumptively valid marriage. We 16 are in a community property state. I don’t care what 17 people think they should do for tactical positions or 18 otherwise. 19 Now, if they were canceled, they were 20 canceled. If what your client’s concerned about is his 21 credit history or his credit rating, although given his 22 brief litany of things that he owns or has an interest 23 in, I don’t think he needs to be all that concerned, then 24 that’s easy.

If this lawsuit is 6 not over before September 15th, you should expect me to 7 make it go away, because it’s temporary. 8 Now, if I have reason to think that someone 9 is being dilatory or obnoxious in discovery, if I think 10 one side of the room is trying to unnecessarily delay 11 this, then I’ll factor that into the equation in 12 September. And if things get delayed due to nobody’s 13 fault, then they do. If there are records and hard 14 drives and those things, they need to be returned. 15 All right. Any questions on anything? 16 MR.

Probably the easiest way to deal with it. 12 MR.

IN THE MATTER OF § IN THE___ THE MARRIAGE OF § § ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND § AND § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT MARYAM FARAHMAND § § AND IN THE IN EST OF § § COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS NOR CHILD § SUPPORTING AFFIDAViT OF ROGER ARASH FARANMAND

COUNTY OF COLLIN § § STATE OF TEXAS § BEFORE ME, the undersigned authority, on this day personally appeared ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND (hereinafter referred to as “ROGER”), known to me to be the person whose signature is affixed hereto, and, who, after first being duly sworn on his oath did say he is over the age of 18 years, has never been convicted ofa felony, and is competent to make this affidavit; that he is the Petitioner in the above entitled and numbered cause; that he has read this AFFIDAVIT, has knowledge of the facts contained herein, and that they are all true and correct.

“I, ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND, am the Petitioner in this case and the Applicant seeking the EMERGENCY MOTION FOR EX PARTEIEXTRAORDINARY RELIEF. That Respondent, MARYAM FAR.AHMAND (hereinafter “MARYAM”), and I met on June 5,201 ma d shortly thereafter o 28, 2012. We have a son named (hereinafter “ ”), age six (6) months, born MARYAM and her sister ha a significant history of instability and mental health issues.

“From the outset, MARYAM’s emotional volatility was evident, in private and later in public. That volatility (yelling, screaming, highs and lows) has been observed by numerous family, friends, business associates and partner, as well medical staff and now the police. Despite having a Ph.D. and two Master’s Degrees, MARYAM has not held any meaningful employment immediately before, or during, our marriage. It is my understanding that MARYAM had to leave her last place of employment due to mental instability. She applied for short-term disability but was denied.

“During our marriage, MARYAM told me that she went to Green Oaks in 2009 for an attempted suicide. She said she did not remember the exact details, only that she had a “breakdown” and overdosed on Xanax. Recently however, she changed her story claiming that it was a “medication issue,” and that’s why she “overdosedonXanax.” MARYAM later sought psychiatric SUPPORTING AFFIDAVIT OF ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND Pg. 1

)O3

counseling through Dr. SCOTT WOOD, M.D. for PTSD, severe self-esteem issues and depression, but per her words, “he wouldn ‘t do therapy” and that he ‘just gave me medication.”

“MARYAM has told me that in the past she has been on a variety of pills, including Adderall, Prozac, Xanax and Seroquel but that she hasn’t taken them since July 2012. Throughout our marriage, but more recently, MARYAM would have auditoiy hallucinations when she would not sleep. I don’t know if that condition is due to the medications she claimed she wasn’t taking or something else. I do know MARYAM once destroyed her car from sleep deprivation (she was also recently in a “hit and run”). According to MARYAM, she fell asleep behind the wheel and did not remember the accident. That the Adderall helps keeps her awake, and she likes it because she “doesn ‘t eat” and it lets her “lose weight.” (Conflicting with what she previously told me about her past pill usage). That she took Xanax and Melatonin to calm down, so she could go to sleep.

“On November 15, 2013, MARYAM saw Dr. SCOTT WOOD, M.D., and was prescribed Prozac. Since then, MARYAM has refused to take that medication. On December 13, 2013, MARYAM threatened to harm herself, stating she has “no reason to Jive;” that “I want to kill myse” that “I don ‘t want to look at baby ijust want to kill myselftoday.” That “I have nothing to —

livefor anymore.” That “I’m tired. There is nothing Jean do.” She also repeated these things on the December 18. She began banging her head against the wall in front of . (She has also banged her head against several walls before in the past). She spent Saturday and Sunday in bed, and slept the entire time. She told me she was still not taking her Prozac.

“On December 18,2013,1 left for work. MARYAM began blowing up my phone as well as that ofmy business partner. Followin turned home with my business partner to find my mom at the house. MARYAM was holding , screaming at the top of her lungs. I came in and MARYAM started screaming and shouting same things she usually does. My mom tried to calm her to no avail. MARYAM began hitting her head against the wall again. My mom removed our son and went into another room. I began to leave only to be stopped by MARYAM handing me her phone. Her mother was on the other end stating “she is going to kill herself,” who then oscillated saying that her daughter was in “great mental shape.” MARYAM was now tearing her hair from her head. Then BAHMAN PARVIZ-KHYAVI, her father, arrived. Following, MARYAM tells me “Now you can be happy. Ijust took 30 Hydrocodones.” I immediately put MARYAM in the car and rushed her to PLANO PRESBYTERIAN EMERGENCY.

“On December 18, 2013, MARYAM was involuntarily committed to PLANO PRESBYTERIAN EMERGENCY. There, MARYAM told the staffthat she took “30 Hydrocodone” because she doesn’t “want want to live anymore.” MARYAM’s father demanded that MARYAM change her stoly and the reasons why she was there. To blame it on me and marital issues, not her mental health. Her father became furious with her when the nurses left, stating “don ‘t tell them” she was “trying to kill” herself. That “these guys are mean” and “not trustworthy.” That “they will make a recordfor her.” That admonition despite her sister, MAHSA PARVIZ, having also attempted suicide, resulting in her hospitalization for having ingested twelve (12) Ambien pills. I told him to stop telling her that. I asked him “Don ‘Iyou think she needs help?” He looked at me angrily and left the room. I could overhear him talking to his wife cursing at me and that I am “making a record” for his daughter. He then came back into the room, stating that I needed to go to therapy with her. SUPPORTING AFFIDAVIT OF ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND Pg.2

“I later returned to the ICU, where MARYAM’s parents were trying to get her released. They continued to blame the situation on me. They denied that MARYAM took any pills. MARYAM’s father said “how do you know she took any pills?” I asked him “did you see her blood report?” —

PRESBYTERIAN then transferred MARYAM to the SEAY CENTER, where she was checked in on Thursday, December 19,2013 at night remaining until Monday, December 23, 2013 when I picked her up. Because of the toxicity in MARYAM’s blood work, the hospital intravenously gave her an antidote for 24 hours and charcoal to absorb it. MARYAM slept for those 24 hours. When she woke, she was sweet, pleasant and asked me to get some personal effects for her from home.

“During that hospitalization, I found in her belongings at least two containers full ofdifferent pills, including uppers and downers in her contact case and in her Pamprin bottles. Following her release, I asked MARYAM about the pills. She said they were from before and that “Pamprin isfor cramps.” When I showed her the pictures, she then stated they were Aderall and that she lied. See Exhibit 2, afair and accurate depiction ofsome ofthe pills hook apicrure of After her release from the SEAY CENTER and her conversations with her parents, MARYAM changed her story yet again, stating now that the pills were from before we met. Before we got home, MARYAM began repeating the same rage as in the past, yelling and screaming at me. On Friday, December27, 2013, and following her release, MARYAM demanded the return of those pills else she would call the —

police on me.

“At home, MARYAM demanded that I kick my dad and uncle out of e despite previously agreeing that they could stay (my father had been with us following birth and my uncle came in for the Christmas holiday). On Christmas Day, I asked my father and uncle to leave to try and placate MARYAM and to calm the situation. They heard her berating me. Rather than our relying on my father to help care for , I was forced to keep with me at all times. On December 27, 2013, MARYAM stated e would kill herself with an overdose if we went away and me).

“On December 28, 2013, I left the home with to go to the office and told MARYAM I would return in thirty (30) minutes. Before I got to work (eight (8) miles away), I received a phone call from my office stating “your wife is here.” Concerned as I had just left her, I stopped at a nearby police annex to seek guidance on what I should do. While talking with Officer ELLIS, I received a phone call from Richardson Police Department. I let the two officers communicate on my phone. It is my understanding through the police departments that MARYAM contacted Richardson police claiming that I was “homicidal” and that I “rook her son.” MARYAM later told me she called the police is because my “flfe is in danger.” She later stated she contacted the Richardson police “be u ignored me.”

“Based on the involvement of the police, and her deteriorating condition, I felt it prudent to have my business partner and f check on MARYAM at the house before I returned. (Since then, I decided to myself and from her). MARYAM however refused to come to or to open the door, so they called the police for a weilness check. Office ELLIS, who I had just met with earlier, came to the house. In the house were broken bottles and stemware as well as vomit. MARYAM sought to blame me, but it is my understanding that Officer ELLIS advised her that he was just with me. SUPPORTING AFFIDAVIT OF ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND Pg. 3

“She has also made recent baseless allegations to my friends that I was out drunk with our son during a baby shower for my friend’s newborn child. In response to the latest accusation, I --

immediately went to the police station to separate fact from fiction. There, I spoke with Office STENSON (Badge No. 8656) and apprised him ofthe escalating situation. He advised me to contact a lawyer to protect myself; that the matter was civil. Additional proof will be offered in Court to negate her latest wave of accusations. MARYAM’s behavior has now risen to a new level, and I am extremely concerned for her and our son’s welfare given it is not beneath her to make false accusations.

“In the last twelve (12) hours, I received two (2) “No Caller ID” calls at 3:32am and then received thirty-seven (37) “No Caller ID” calls through the signing of this AFFIDAVIT. was asleep in my care. I could hear a guy on the other end making sex noises, moaning saying something to the effect “I’m jerking offon your face.” No idea who that was, except to say I have had the same phone number for fifteen (15) years and have never received any calls ofthe sort. It is my distinct impression that the caller may be related to MARYAM’s sister, now that she is back in town from Boston, the same sister who has also had asignificant history of emotional problems. This type of behavior is atypical of what her sister has done in the past.

“Today, MARYAM has called and texted me numerous times pleading with me to come home. While I am certainly open to working things out, I don’t believe I have recourse other than to seek immediate court intervention for the time being. I feel I am left without recourse as MARYAM’s parents are not assisting in helping her get better, MARYAM is not being compliant with therapy or psychotropic medications previously prescribed, and now with the recent baseless accusations I am having to live a life on eggshells having to constantly document everything about —

everything.

“ is in my possession at this time.

“Consequently, I am requesting immediate possession ofand access to our child, without any unsupervised possession by MARYAM, until a hearing can be held in an effort to remove our child from any further emotional and possible physical damage. Additional testimony, evidence, and witnesses will be offered at hearing, to further show that MARYAM’s demeanor and temperament is having a detrimental impact on our child. I have reviewed the Temporary EmergencyfEx Parte Order and believe the requests are in the best interest of our child and the least restrictive in terms of requests at this time. I am asking the Court to grant the relief requested against MARYAM to protect our son.”

7. Grounds

Petitioner and Respondent entered into a purported marriage on July 28, 2012. The purported marriage is void and of no effect under the provisions of section 6.202 of the Texas Family Code because Respondent was already legally married.

IN THE MATTER OF § IN THE DISTRICT COURT THE MARRIAGE OF § § ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND § AND § 401ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT MARYAM FARAHMAND § § AND IN THE INTEREST OF § § COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS A CHILD §

MARYAM FARAHMAND’S ANSWER TO ORIGINAL PETITION TO DECLARE MARRIAGE VOID AND IN THE ALTERNATIVE FIRST AMENDED PETITION FOR DIVORCE

MARYAM FARAHMAND, Counter-Petitioner, files this Answer to Roger Arash Farahmand’s Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void and in the Alternative First Amended Petition for Divorce. 1. General Denial

MARYAM FARAHMAND enters a general denial of the claims made in Roger Arash Farahmand’s Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void and in the Alternative First Amended Petition for Divorce and all amendments thereto. 2. Defenses

MARYAM FARAHMAND and ROGER FARAHMAND entered into a legitimate marriage on or about July 28, 2012. MARYAM

FARAHMAND was not previously married at the time she entered into the 1|P a g e

marriage relationship with ROGER FARAHMAND. Prior to her relationship with ROGER FARAHMAND, MARYAM FARAHMAND and Amir Bagherkalantari had a dating relationship in 2009. Contrary to ROGER FARAHMAND’s claim:

A. No Prior Marriage

1. Although a marriage license was issued to Maryam

Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari in December of 2009, Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not get married to each other (formally or informally) within 31 days after the issuance of the license on December 12, 2009. Thus, the marriage license expired pursuant to Section 2.201 of the Texas Family Code (issued prior to September 1, 2013). Further, no license was filed with the Collin County Clerk at any time after December 12, 2009.

2. A formal wedding ceremony did not occur between

Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari. In fact, Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not cohabitate for more than two weeks, had a fight on the nightof the engagement party, dated sporadically, and ended their dating relationship/engagement completely in August of 2010.

3. Assuming, arguendo, that a marriage ceremony had

actually occurred on December 12, 2009, the person reflected on the 2|P a g e “marriage license” as the person performing the ceremony was identified as P.H.D. (sic) in economics. Pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Texas Family Code, such a person is not authorized to conduct a marriage ceremony in Texas. Any such marriage would be invalid and the person performing the ceremony could be charged with a misdemeanor offense.

B. No Prior Informal/Common Law Marriage

1. Additionally, should Roger Farahmand attempt to claim

an informal marriage between Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari, it has been more than two years since Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari ended their dating relationhip/engagement and no proceedings were initiated within that two-year time period to prove an “informal marriage”. Therefore, it is a rebuttable presumption that Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not enter into an agreement to be married pursuant to Section 2.401 of the Texas Family Code. Additionally, neither Maryam Farahmand nor Amir Bagherkalantari are and/or have claimed an informal marriage between them. Therefore, Roger Farahmand would not be a proper party to make an informal marriage claim.

2. Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not

intend to have a present, immediate, and permanent marital relationship prior to or at any time after December of 2009, nor did they agree to be 3|P a g e husband and wife. Small v. McMaster, 352 S.W.3d 280, 283 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2011, pet. Denied). An agreement to be married at some time in the future is insufficient to show that a marriage was “present and immediate”. See Aguilar v. State, 715 S.W.2d 645, 648(Tex.Crim.App.1986); Texas Employers’ Ins. v. Borum, 834 S.W.2d 395, 399 n.3 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1992, writ denied).

3. Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not

live together as husband and wife prior to or at any time after December of 2009.

4. Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not

represent to others in Texas that they were married prior to or at any time after December of 2009.

C. Roger Farahmand is presumably attempting to raise a prior

marriage claim for the purposes of a tactical advantage, to confuse the issues, to deny Maryam Farahmand her community property interests, to deny Maryam Farahmand her community and separate property claims, to illegitimate the child born of the marriage, to harass, embarrass, and annoy Maryam Farahmand, and to increase the costs of litigation. 3. Attorney’s Fees, Expenses, Costs, and Interest 4|P a g e

It was necessary for MARYAM FARAHMAND to secure the services of Robert S. Widner of the Widner Family Law Group, a licensed attorney, to prepare and defend this suit. To effect an equitable division of the estate of the parties and as a part of the division, and for services rendered in connection with conservatorship and support of the child, judgment for attorney’s fees, expenses, and costs through trial and appeal should be granted against Counter-Respondent an din favor of Counter-Petitioner for the use and benefit of Counter-Petitioner’s attorney and be ordered paid directly to the Counter-Petitioner’s attorney, who may enforce the judgment in the attorney’s own name. Counter-Petitioner requests post-judgment interest as allowed by law. 4. Prayer

MARYAM FARAHMAND prays that Petitioner take nothing by his suit, that the Court deny Petitioner’s request to declare the parties’ marriage void, that the Court affirm MARYAM FARAHMAND’s defenses, and that MARYAM FARAHMAND be granted all relief requested in this Answer.

MARYAM FARAHMAND prays for attorney’s fees, expenses, costs, and interest as requested above.

MARYAM FARAHMAND prays for general relief. 5|P a g e

RESPONDENT'S FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL AND AMENDED COUNTER-PETITION FOR DIVORCE

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

COMES NOW, Maryam Farahmand, the Respondent and Counter-Petitioner in the above-styled and numbered cause, and files this First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petition for Divorce. In support of thereof, Maryam Farahmand would respectfully show the Court as follows: 1. DISCOVERY LEVEL

Discovery in this case is intended to be conducted under Level 2 of Rule 190 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 1 2. PARTIES

Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page2 5. PROTECTIVE ORDER STATEMENT

No protective order under Title 4 of the Texas Family Code is in effect, and no application for a protective order is pending with regard to the parties to this suit. 6. DATES OF MARRIAGE AND SEPARATION

The parties were married on or about July 28, 2012, and have ceased to live together as husband and wife. 7. GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE

The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between Counter-Petitioner and Counter-Rrespondent that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation.

Counter-Respondent Roger Farahmand is guilty of cruel treatment toward Counter-Petitioner Maryam Farahmand of a nature that renders further living together insupportable. 8. CHILD OF THE MARRIAGE

Counter-Petitioner and Counter-Respondent are parents of the following child of this marriage who is not under the continuing jurisdiction of any other Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page3 Court:

Name: Sex: Male Birth Date:

There are no court-ordered conservatorships, court-ordered guardianships, or other court-ordered relationships affecting the child the subject of this suit.

The father is Counter-Respondent, ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND. Counter-Petitioner and Counter-Respondent became married via a formal marriage on or about July 27, 2012. If, for any reason, the marriage by and between Counter-Petitioner and Counter-Respondent is declared void, Counter-Respondent voluntarily identified himself as the father on the birth certificate, has asserted his paternity of the child to multiple third parties, and has judicially admitted himself as the father of the child. 9. MINOR CHILD'S PROPERTY

No property of consequence is owned or possessed by the child the subject of this suit. 10. HEALTH INSURANCE INFORMATION

Information required by Section 154.181(b) of the Texas Family Code will be provided. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 4 11. ADJUDICATION OF P ARENTAGE/SAPCR

C. JOINT MANAGING CONSERVATORS & SUPPORT

Counter-Petitioner and Counter-Respondent, on final hearing, should be Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 5 appointed joint managing conservators, with all the rights and duties of a parent conservator.

Counter-Petitioner should be designated as the conservator who has the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the child. The residence of the child should be restricted to Collin County and counties contiguous to Collin County, Texas. Counter-Petitioner should be the sole party to be allowed to retain the child's passport and Counter-Respondent should not be allowed to remove the child from the State of Texas. Counter-Respondent should be ordered to make payments for the support of the child and to provide medical child support in the manner specified by the Court.

H. RESPONDENT COMMITTED FAMILY VIOLENCE

Counter-Respondent has a history or pattern of committing family violence during the two-year period preceding the date of filing of this suit. Counter-Petitioner requests the Court to deny Counter-Respondent access to the child.

5. The community estate is or was obligated on a debt incurred

during the marriage for the acquisition of, or capital improvements to, property and secured by a lien on community property. Counter-Petitioner's separate estate has expended funds or assets for the payment of that debt. Those expenditures have resulted in the reduction of the principal of that debt, giving rise to a claim for reimbursement in favor of Counter-Petitioner's separate estate and against the Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 12 community estate. Those expenditures resulted in a direct benefit to the community estate. Counter-Petitioner's separate estate has not been adequately compensated for or benefitted from the expenditure of those funds or assets, and a failure by the Court to allow reimbursement to Counter-Petitioner's separate estate will result in an unjust enrichment of the community estate at the expense of Counter-Petitioner's separate estate.

6. Counter-Respondent 1s or was obligated on a debt incurred

during the marriage for the acquisition of, or capital improvements to, property and secured by a lien on property claimed by Counter-Respondent as separate property. The community estate has expended fund or assets for payment of that debt.

Those expenditures resulted in a direct benefit to Counter-Respondent's separate estate. The community estate has not been adequately compensated for or benefitted from the expenditure of those funds or assets, and a failure by the Court to allow reimbursement to the community estate will result in an unjust enrichment of Counter-Respondent's separate estate at the expense of the community estate. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 13

B. COMMUNITY ESTATE TO REIMBURSE COUNTER-PETITIONER'S

SEPARATE ESTATE

1. Counter-Petitioner requests the Court to reimburse Counter-

Petitioner's separate estate for funds or assets expended by Counter-Petitioner's separate estate for the benefit of the community. Those expenditures resulted in a direct benefit to the community estate. Counter-Petitioner's separate estate has not been adequately compensated for or benefitted from the expenditure of those funds or assets, and a failure by the Court to allow reimbursement to Counter-Petitioner's separate estate will result in an unjust enrichment of the community estate at the expense of Counter-Petitioner's separate estate.

2. Counter-Petitioner requests the Court to reimburse Counter-

Petitioner' s separate estate for funds or assets expended by Counter-Petitioner's separate estate for payment of unsecured liabilities of the community estate. Those expenditures resulted in a direct benefit to the community estate. Counter-Petitioner' s separate estate has not been adequately compensated for or benefitted from the expenditure of those funds or assets, and a failure by the Court to allow reimbursement to Counter-Petitioner's separate estate will result in an unjust Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 14 enrichment of the community estate at the expense of Counter-Petitioner's separate estate.

C. COUNTER-RESPONDENT'S SEPARATE ESTATE TO REIMBURSE

COUNTER-PETITIONER'S SEPARATE ESTATE

Those expenditures resulted in a direct benefit to Counter-Respondent' s separate estate. Counter-Petitioner's separate estate has not been Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 15 adequately compensated for or benefitted from the expenditure of those funds or assets, and a failure by the Court to allow reimbursement to Counter-Petitioner's separate estate will result in an unjust enrichment of Counter-Respondent's separate estate at the expense of Counter-Petitioner's separate estate.

3. Counter-Petitioner's separate estate has expended funds or

assets to make capital improvements on property claimed by Counter-Respondent as separate property, giving rise to a claim for reimbursement in favor of Counter-Petitioner's separate estate and against Counter-Respondent's separate estate. Those expenditures resulted in a direct benefit to Counter-Respondent's separate estate. Counter-Petitioner's separate estate has not been adequately compensated for or benefitted from the expenditure of those funds or assets, and a failure by the Court to allow reimbursement to Counter-Petitioner's separate estate will result in an unjust enrichment of Counter-Respondent's separate estate at the expense of Counter-Petitioner's separate estate.

4. Counter-Respondent 1s or was obligated on a debt incurred

during the marriage for the acquisition of, or capital improvements to, property and secured by a lien on property claimed by Counter-Respondent as separate property, Counter-Petitioner's separate estate has expended funds or assets for payment of Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 16 that debt.

A. CAUSE OF ACTION FOR INTENTIONAL, KNOWING, OR RECKLESS BODILY INJURY

ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND, on a continuing basis, intentionally inflicted emotional distress on MARYAM FARAHMAND when one ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND acted intentionally or recklessly, through extreme and outrageous conduct, proximately causing severe emotional distress to MARYAM FARAHMAND. Emotional distress means highly unpleasant mental reactions, such as grief, shame, humiliation, embarrassment, anger, disappointment and worry. Severe means that the distress inflicted is so extreme that a reasonable man or woman could not be expected to endure it without undergoing unreasonable suffering. MARYAM FARAHMAND requests actual damages for the past and future value of severe emotional distress resulting from such conduct. Twyman v. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 24 Twyman, 855 S.W. 2d. 619 (Tex. 1993); Massey v. Massey, 8075 S.W. 2d 391 (Tex.App. - Houston [1st Dist.] 1990, writ. denied). MARYAM FARAHMAND pleads intentional infliction of emotional distress as a continuing tort under Newton v. Newton, 895 S.W. 2d 503, 506 (Tex. Civ. App.-Forth Worth 1995, no writ). ROGER ARASH F ARAHMAND, by hiring investigator, hiring false investigators, by suing MARYAM FARAHMAND's mother, by having investigators "pat down" the baby for listening devices at the end of a visitation, by sending false private investigators to follow MARYAM FARAHMAND, has engaged in a process of intimidation intended to cause intentional infliction of emotional distress.

B. CAUSE OF ACTION FOR THREAT OF IMMINENT BODILY INJURY

Counter-Respondent intentionally or knowingly threatened Counter-Petitioner, which placed Counter-Petitioner in fear or apprehension of imminent bodily injury.

C. CAUSE OF ACTION FOR OFFENSIVE OR PROVOCATIVE PHYSICAL

CONTACT

Counter-Respondent intentionally or knowingly caused physical contact with Counter-Petitioner, when Counter-Respondent knew or should have Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 25 reasonably believed that Counter-Petitioner would regard such contact as offensive or provocative.

D. CAUSE OF ACTION FOR INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL

DISTRESS

Counter-Respondent intentionally or recklessly engaged in a pattern of extreme and outrageous conduct that caused Counter-Petitioner to suffer severe emotional distress.

E. ACTUAL DAMAGES FOR RESULTING PERSONAL INJURIES

As a direct and proximate result of Counter-Respondent's wrongful conduct alleged above, Counter-Petitioner has suffered certain damages including, but not limited to, the following:

1. loss of earnings in the past;

2. loss of earning capacity, diminution of earning capacity, or both that in reasonable probability will be suffered in the future;

3. physical pain, suffering, nd mental anguish in the past;

Petitioner brings this suit for these damages, which are within the jurisdictional limits of the Court. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 26

F. CONVERSION.

MARYAM FARAHMAND owned personal property and ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND proximately caused injury to MARYAMF ARAHMAND through his exercise of dominion and control over MARYAM FARAHMAND' s personal property or his wrongful refusal to return MARYAM FARAHMAND' s personal property upon her demand. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND thereafter, transferred the personal property to unknown third parties and/or entities of Counter-Respondent. MARYAM FARAHMAND seeks actual and exemplary damages resulting from ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND' s conduct. Connell v. Connell, 889 S.W. 2d 534 (Tex. App. - San Antonio 1994, writ denied).

G. ECONOMIC DURESS.

ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND threatened MARYAM FARAHMAND that he would commit financial acts which he had no legal right to do. Such threat was of such character as to destroy the free agency of MARYAM FARAHMAND. Her free will was overcome and it caused her to do that which she would not otherwise have done, and which she was not legally bound to do. The restraint caused by such threats was eminent and MARYAM FARAHMAND had no present means of protection. MARYAM FARAHMAND seeks actual and Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 27 exemplary damages resulting from ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND's conduct. Matthews v. Matthews, 725 S.W. 2d 275 (Tex. App. - Houston [1st Dist.] 1987, writ ref d n.r.e.).

H. FORGERY

ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND intentionally caused his sister to forge MARYAM FARAHMAND's name to checks and/or documents, or cause confusion as to her identity and she was harmed by this intentional misrepresentation. "Forgery," as that term is used herein, means to alter, make, complete, execute or authenticate any writings so that it purports to be the act of another who did not authorize that act, done with the intent to defraud or harm another. Forgery is an unlawful and unconscionable act which common law court may provide a civil remedy. MARYAM FARAHMANDs seeks actual and exemplary damages resulting from ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND's conduct. Saxer v. Nash Phillips-Copus Co., Real Estate, 678 S.W. 2d 736 (Tex. Civ. App. -Tyler 1984, writ ref d n.r.e ). Both Chase Bank, and on information and belief, Farmers & Merchants Bank located in Wisconsin, and Jocelyn McGregor from Chase Bank and Paul Kujawa have conspired with Roger Farahmand, along with Mary Wise. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 28

I. FRAUDULENT TRANSFERS OF COMMUNITY PROPERTY

During the parties' marriage, ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND transferred community property in violation of the Texas Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Texas Family Code. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND transferred certain community property with actual intent to hinder and defraud MARYAM FARAHMAND, who brings this cause of action within one year from the date of discovery. MARYAM FARAHMAND is a creditor of ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND because she has various claims against ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND arising before or within a reasonable time after the transfers were made. Furthermore, ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND retained actual and constructive possession and control of the property after transfer. The combined transfers constitute a substantial part of the community estate. MARYAM FARAHMAND requests that the Court set aside ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND's conveyance of community property. Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Ann., § 24.005(a)(l); Tex. Fam. Code Ann., §6.707. Both Chase Bank, and on information and belief, Farmers & Merchants Bank located in Wisconsin, and Jocelyn McGregor from Chase Bank and Paul Kujawa have conspired with Roger Farahmand. Mary Wise has also conspired and assisted. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 29

J. ACCOUNTING

ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND has spent money on or transferred money or property to third parties, escapades, and ventures, and hidden or concealed community assets. A legal and equitable accounting is necessary to determine the size of the community estate and provide an equitable distribution. MARYAM FARAHMAND seeks actual and exemplary damages resulting from ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND's conduct. Huel v. DeShazo, 922 S.W. 2d 920, 923 (Tex. 1996); Hutchings v. Chevron US.A, Inc., 862 S.W. 2d 752, 762 (Tex. App. - El Paso 1993, writ denied).

K. ACTUAL FRAUD ON THE PERSON AND PROPERTY

ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND intentionally plotted and carried out a plan to actually defraud MARYAM FARAHMAND personally, the community estate, and MARYAM FARAHMAND's separate property estate. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND made material representations to MARYAM FARAHMAND that were false. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND knew these representations were false, or ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND made them recklessly without knowledge of their truth and as a positive assertion. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND made these representations with the intention that Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 30 MARYAM FARAHMAND would act on them. MARYAMF ARAHMAND acted in reliance on these representations and as a consequence she and the community estate and MARYAM FARAHMAND's separate property estate suffered injury and damage. Such conduct proximately caused injury, loss or damage to MARYAM FARAHMAND, the community estate and MARYAM FARAHMAND's separate property estate, for which she seeks judgment against ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND for actual damages including pre and post judgment interest. MARYAM FARAHMAND requests the court to apply the principles of law in Schlueter v. Schlueter, 975 S.W.2d 584 (Tex. 1998) and Vickery v. Vickery, 999 S.W. 2d 342 (Tex. 1999) petition for review denied, only dissent published [fraud on the person and property], in making calculations of actual damages. In doing the acts alleged, ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND acted wantonly and with malice toward MARYAM FARAHMAND and the community estate. MARYAM FARAHMAND seeks exemplary damages for herself and the community estate for this wanton and malicious conduct. Land v. Marshall, 426 S.W.2d 841 (Tex. 1986); Archer v. Griffith, 390 S.W.2d 735 (Tex. 1965); Horlock v. Horlock, 535 S.W.2d 52 (Tex. Civ. App. - Houston [14th Dist. 1975, writ dism'd). To the extent Schlueter v. Schlueter, supra, is applicable. MARYAM Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 31 FARAHMAND requests the court to quantify the amount of damages to the community estate and apply the damage calculations in making a just and right division of community property. Both Chase Bank, and on information and belief, Farmers & Merchants Bank located in Wisconsin, and Jocelyn McGregor from Chase Bank and on information and belief, Paul Kujawa have conspired with Roger Farahmand. Mary Wise has also conspired and assisted.

L. BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY UNDER THE TRUST FUND DOCTRINE

ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND, as MARYAM FARAHMAND's spouse, had a fiduciary duty with and to MARYAM F ARAHMAND. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND held MARYAM FARAHMAND 's separate property in trust for her. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND commingled community estate property with MARYAM FARAHMAND' s separate estate property to the extent that it is not traceable or distinguishable from the community property estate of John and MARYAM FARAHMAND. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND's fiduciary duty to MARYAM FARAHMAND casts on him the burden to disclose such facts as to distinguish his own property and to ensure a fair division of the property. Absent such proof, ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND commingled community property interests become a part of MARYAM FARAHMAND's Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 32 separate property. Thus, MARYAMF ARAHMAND requests that the Court award ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND's community property interests in the commingled property to MARYAM FARAHMAND's separate estate. Farrow v. Farrow, 238 S.W. 2d 255 (Tex. Civ. App. - Austin 1951, no writ). Both Chase Bank, and on information and belief, Farmers & Merchants Bank located in Wisconsin, and Jocelyn McGregor from Chase Bank and Paul Kujawa have conspired with Roger Farahmand. Mary Wise has also conspired and assisted.

M. BREACH OF FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP - BUSINESS AND PERSONAL

R ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND had a fiduciary relationship with and wife MARYAM FARAHMAND, both inside the marriage relationship, and outside, regardless of their marriage, and owed to her a fiduciary duty of utmost good faith and fair dealing. As a result of their fiduciary relationship MARYAM FARAHMAND reposed a special confidence in her husband and attorney ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND, in both roles. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND had a duty in equity and in good conscience to act in good faith and with due regard for MARYAM FARAHMAND's interests. However, ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND, in violation of his duty to his wife, MARYAM FARAHMAND, breached that duty many times. Both Chase Bank, and on information and belief, Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 33 Farmers & Merchants Bank located in Wisconsin, and Jocelyn McGregor from Chase Bank and Paul Kujawa have conspired with Roger Farahmand. Mary Wise has also conspired and assisted.

N. BUSINESS FRAUD & CONSTRUCTIVE TRUST

MARYAM FARAHMAND was the sole officer and director of vanous pharmaceutical companies. ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND, as her attorney, wrongfully removed her from this position in violation of the standing orders and temporary orders of this court. He had a fiduciary duty to MARYAM FARAHMAND as her attorney and under the "special facts" rule. These actions were a producing cause of damage to MARYAM FARAHMAND for which she seeks recovery. MARYAM FARAHMAND seeks actual and exemplary damages resulting from the conduct of ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND. Weir v. King, 166 S.W.2d 187 (Tex. Civ. App. -Dallas 1942, writ rerd w.o.m); Buckner v. Buckner, 85 S.W.2d 877 (Tex. App. -Tyler 1991, n.w.h.); Miller v. Miller, 700 S.W.2d 941 (Tex. App. -Dallas 1985, writ ref'd n.r.e.). ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND has expended community funds to purchase property which he has put in the names of third party "DBAs" such as his family and his corporate entities. These transactions were done to conceal assets from MARYAM FARAHMAND, during Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 34 the course of this divorce. A constructive trust should be imposed on each company and/or property in favor of MARYAM FARAHMAND or, in the alternative; a secured judgment for actual damages should be awarded to MARYAM FARAHMAND and against ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND. Young v. Young, 168 S.W.3d 276 280, 282 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2005, no pet.). ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND is also in contempt for these violations and should be put in jail. Both Chase Bank, and on information and belief, Farmers & Merchants Bank located in Wisconsin, and Jocelyn McGregor from Chase Bank and Paul Kujawa have conspired with Roger Farahmand. Mary Wise has also conspired and assisted.

0. PRAYER

The conduct committed by Respondent against Petitioner is the type of conduct evidencing actual malice on Respondent's part that allows the imposition of exemplary damages. Petitioner additionally brings this suit for these damages, which are within the jurisdictional limits of this Court.

Petitioner prays for judgment against Respondent in a sum within the jurisdictional limits of this Court for her actual damages as alleged, exemplary damages, for prejudgment and post-judgment interest as allowed by law, for costs Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page35 of court, and for general relief. 18. ATTORNEY'S FEES, EXPENSES, COSTS, AND INTEREST

It was necessary for Counter-Petitioner to secure the services of the Law Office of Richard J. Corbitt, Robert S. Widner, and Dawn M. Grams, licensed attorneys, to prepare and prosecute this suit. To effect an equitable division of the estate of the parties and as a part of the division, and for services rendered in connection with conservatorship and support of the child, judgment for attorney's fees, expenses, and costs through trial and appeal should be granted against Counter-Respondent and in favor of Counter-Petitioner for the use and benefit of Counter-Petitioner's attorney and be ordered paid directly to Counter-Petitioner's attorney, who may enforce the judgment in the attorney's own name. Counter-Petitioner requests post-judgment interest as allowed by law. 19. MAINTENANCE

Counter-Petitioner requests the Court to order that she be paid postdivorce maintenance for a reasonable period in accordance with chapter 8 of the Texas Family Code. Counter-Petitioner requests the Court to issue an order for withholding from Counter-Respondent's wages for this maintenance. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 36 20. NOTIFICATION OF CREDITORS

It should be ordered that each party shall send to the other party, within three (3) days of its receipt, a copy of any correspondence from a creditor or taxing authority concerning any potential liability of the other party. 21. NOTIFICATION OF CHANGE OF ADDRESS OR EMPLOYMENT

It should be ordered that Respondent notify this Court and Petitioner by U.S. certified mail, return receipt requested, of any change of address and of any termination of employment. This notice shall be given no later than seven (7) days after the change of address or the termination of employment. This notice or a subsequent notice shall also provide the current address of Respondent and the name and address of her current employer, whenever that information becomes available. 22. SANCTIONS AND ATTORNEY'S FEES ARE APPROPRIATE

A. GROUNDLESS PLEADING UNDER TEXAS RULES OF CIVIL

PROCEDURE RULE 13

Counter-Petitioner asks the court to impose appropriate sanctions against Counter-Respondent or, alternatively, his attorneys of record, Bradford Nace, Ike Vanden Eykel, and Rebecca Tillery, for filing the groundless and frivolous Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 37 pleading of an alleged prior marriage of Counter-Petitioner.

Pursuant to TEXAS RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE Rule 13, the court can impose sanctions on a person who signed a pleading in violation of Rule 13 of the TEXAS RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. A pleading is sanctionable under TEXAS RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE Rule 13 if it is groundless and was brought in bad faith or for the purposes of harassment. TEX. R. CIV. P. 13; CTE Comm. Sys. Corp. v. Tanner, 856 S.W.2d 725, 730 (Tex. 1993). A groundless pleading is one that has no basis in law or fact and is not warranted by a good faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law. TEX. R. CIV. P. 13; Tanner, 856 S.W.2d 730.

The standard for reviewing whether a pleading is groundless is objective: Did the party and attorneys make a reasonable inquiry into the legal and factual basis of the claim. See Tanner, 856 S.W.2d at 730. The reasonableness of the inquiry is judged by the facts available and the circumstances present at the time the party filed the pleading. Tarrant Cty. v. Chancey, 942 S.W.2d 151, 155 (Tex. App. - Fort Worth 1997, no writ).

In the present case, Counter-Respondent or, alternatively, his attorneys of record filed the groundless pleading in bad and for the purpose of harassment in an Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 38 attempt to defraud Counter-Petitioner from her portion of the community property as well increase the stress and strain on Counter-Petitioner financially, mentally, and emotionally. Specifically, there is no documentation or evidence supporting the factual allegations of the Counter-Respondent relating to an alleged purported marriage. Counter-Respondent's allegations or factual contentions have no evidentiary support and are extremely unlikely to ever have any evidentiary support to support same even after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation, or discovery. As such, Counter-Petitioner was forced to litigate this matter including, but not limited to, drafting answers to each and every petition filed by the Counter-Respondent, forced to draft objections and answers to discovery requests, and forced to review and/or respond to the overwhelming number of documents either filed by Counter-Petitioner's attorneys or transmitted as correspondence.

B. FRIVOLOUS PLEADING UNDER TEXAS CIVIL PRACTICE AND

REMEDIES CODE §10.001

The court can impose sanctions on the attorney who signed a pleading, or the party represented by the attorney, if the pleading, motion, or other paper was signed in violation of TEXAS CIVIL PRACTICE & REMEDIES CODE Section 10.001. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 39 TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE §10.004(a), The following conduct of Plaintiffs' attorney violated Section 10.001.

A pleading is frivolous when presented for an improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE §10.001(1). Clearly, the actions of Counter-Respondent and/or his counsel evidence that Counter-Respondent's pleadings against Counter-Petitioner are frivolous and are presented before the Court in the attempt to cause an increase in the cost of litigation and for harassment. Therefore, Counter-Respondent or, alternatively, his attorneys of record, Bradford Nace, Ike Vanden Eykel, and Rebecca Tillery are subject to sanctions.

Further, a pleading is frivolous unless each allegation or factual contention has evidentiary support or, for a specifically identified allegation or factual contention, is likely to have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation, or discovery. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE §10.001(3). In the present case, Counter-Respondent's attorney of record has failed to provide any evidentiary support for his allegations against Counter-Petitioner. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 40

C. GROUNDLESS PLEADING UNDER TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE

§9.011

The court can impose sanctions on the attorney or party represented by the attorney who signed a pleading, motion, or other that paper was signed in violation of TEXAS CIVIL PRACTICE & REMEDIES CODE Section 9.011. The court may sanction a party for filing pleadings that are (1) groundless and (2) brought in bad faith, brought for the purposes of harassment, or interposed for improper purpose of causing an undue delay, needless increase of litigation, and seeking to disqualify the opposing counsel of record by unnecessarily calling that lawyer as a witness. Herrmann & Andreas Ins. Agency, Inc. v. Appling, 800 S.W.2d 312, 320 (Tex. App. - Corpus Christi 1990, no writ). Plaintiffs' pleadings are frivolous and violate Section 9.011 of the TEXAS CIVIL PRACTICE & REMEDIES CODE because (1) they are groundless, (2) they were brought in bad faith, (3) they were brought for the purpose of harassment, and (4) they were interposed for an improper purpose.

D. SANCTIONS

Counter-Petitioner asks the court to impose the following sanctions on Counter-Respondent or, alternatively, his attorneys of record:

a. An order striking all of the allegations of Counter-Respondent Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 41

wherein he refers to any purported prior marriage of Counter-

Petitioner;

b. An order for payment to Counter-Petitioner for attorney's fees

in defense of Counter-Respondent's petition to declare marriage

void in an amount that is equal or greater than the amount

invoiced by Counter-Respondent's during the pendency of this

matter or, alternatively, payment for one hundred percent of

Counter-Petitioner's attorney's fees.

c. A penalty to be paid to the Court.

E. COSTS & ATTORNEY FEES

It was necessary for Counter-Petitioner to hire an attorney, for Counter-Petitioner to incur the additional cost of travel due to Counter-Respondent's counsel's refusal to adhere to the basic facts of this case, and to prepare this Counter-Claim. The Court should award Counter-Petitioner reasonable attorney's fees in the amount of $25,000.00 under TEXAS RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE Rule 13, Section 10.004(c)(3) of the TEXAS CIVIL PRACTICE & REMEDIES CODE Section, and Section 9.012(e)(3) of the TEXAS CIVIL PRACTICE & REMEDIES CODE.

When the party against whom sanctions are sought cannot show due Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 42 diligence, a court may award the party seeking sanction all costs for inconvenience, harassment, and out-of-pocket expenses incurred or caused by the litigation. TEX. CIV. PRAC. & CODE §10.002(c). Counter-Respondent and/or Counter-Respondent's counsel of record did not exercise due diligence. Because Counter-Respondent and/or Counter-Respondent's counsel of record wholly failed to show due diligence, the court should award Counter-Petitioner all costs for inconvenience, harassment, and out-of-pocket expenses caused by this lawsuit. 23. COLLIN COUNTY STANDING ORDER

The Collin County Standing Order regarding child, property, and conduct of the parties is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein for all purposes. 24. REQUEST FOR ATTORNEY'S FEES, EXPENSES, COSTS, AND INTEREST

It was necessary for Counter-Petitioner to secure the services of Dawn M. Grams Horak, a licensed attorney, to preserve and protect Maryam Farahamand and the minor child's rights. Counter-Petitioner prays that Counter-Respondent be responsible for one hundred percent of Counter-Petitioner's attorney's fees, expenses, and costs incurred as a result of legal representation in this case. Respondent's First Supplemental and Amended Counter-Petitioner for Divorce Page 43 25. PRAYER

ROGER FARAHMAND’S RECORD TAB 12

Filed: 7/10/2014 12:15:17 PM Andrea S. Thompson District Clerk Collin County, Texas By Lisa Sharpe Deputy Envelope ID: 1782144

NO. 417-56531-2013

IN THE MATTER OF § IN THE DISTRICT COURT THE MARRIAGE OF § § ROGERARASHFARAHMAND § AND § 417th JUDICIAL DISTRICT MARYAM FARAHMAND § § AND IN THE INTEREST OF § , A CHILD § COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS

RESPONDENT'S FIRST VERIFIED MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

COMES NOW, Maryam Farahmand, the Respondent and Counter-Petitioner in the above-styled and numbered cause, and files this First Verified Motion for Continuance for the hearing set for July 29, 2014, on Petitioner's Petition to Declare Marriage Void. In support of thereof, Maryam Farahmand would respectfully show the Court as follows:

1. Petitioner's initial allegations of a pnor marriage of Respondent occurred on or about March 10, 2014, at a hearing in this Court. Petitioner's identified Amir Bagherkalantari as the alleged prior spouse of Respondent at this time. See Exhibit A.

2. On or about Thursday, May 8, 2014, Amir Bagherkalantari stated to Respondent's First Verified Motion for Continuance ljPage Respondent, Maryam Farahmand, that he was going to see how much the Petitioner, Roger Farahmand offered to pay him for his testimony. Thus, there appears to be either witness tampering or the possibility of witness tampering.

3. On or about Tuesday, June 24, 2014, Brenda Rodgers spoke with the Court Coordinator for the 401 st Judicial District Court of Collin County, Texas, and was advised that the court's docket was closed for the month of July. The Court Coordinator further advised that any setting presently on the docket would be heard, but there would be "NO additions, NO deletions, NO substitutions, NO changes whatsoever." See Exhibit B-1. As a result thereof, Respondent did not file her Motion for Summary Judgment, as same would not be considered or heard before the court on or before the Tuesday, July 29, 2014, hearing date. See Exhibit B.

4. The parties were last before the Court on or about Tuesday, May 27, 2014. See Exhibit D. During the time period of Tuesday, May 27, 2014, and Friday, June 27, 2014, Petitioner filed more than fifty (50) documents with the Court. In addition to the more than fifty (50) documents filed, Petitioner remits up to three (3) to four (4) letters to Respondent's counsel on an almost daily basis. See Exhibit B. Respondent's First Verified Motion for Continuance 2jPage

5. On May 27, 2014, Petitioner filed a document entitled "Certificate of Marriage." See Exhibit E. At the hearing on March 10, 2014, the Honorable Judge Mark J. Rusch ruled, in relevant part, that no marriage license by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari was " ... on file, so [he] [didn't] have a valid prior ceremonial marriage." See Exhibit D - Hearing Transcript, Page 77, Lines 18-20. Disregarding this ruling, Petitioner files same misrepresenting that same 1s valid. See Exhibit E.

6. Respondent would further show that Asian Ghaffari, on behalf of and at the request of Petitioner, provided false sworn testimony at the March I 0, 2014, hearing and that the signature on the alleged marriage certificate is not Mr. Ghaffari's signature. Specifically, in the years 2005-2011, Mr. Ghaffari executed various legal documents. See Exhibit F. In aforementioned legal documents, Mr. Ghaffari correctly spelled his name: G-H-A-F-F-A-R-I. See Exhibit F. However, on the purported "marriage license," Mr. Ghaffari's name is spelled: G-H-A-F-F-0-R-I-E. See Exhibit E. How would a man who is eighty (80) plus years old misspell his own last name? Because it is not his signature!

7. On or about June 9, 2014, Petitioner designated Madoud Anasri as the expert to testify as to a "Persian Muslim wedding." However, Petitioner's Respondent's First Verified Motion for Continuance 31Page designated expert is the father of Roger's Farahmand's business partner and very close friend, Shaya Ansari. In fact, Roger Farahmand himself indicated during his March 4, 2014 deposition that he owns property with Shaya Ansari and that Shaya is "a dear friend, like -- like my brother." Clearly, the expert testimony of Madoud Anasri will be biased, as his own son has a financial stake in the outcome of the proceedings. Relevant portions of the deposition of Petitioner are as follows:

Owns property in Las Vegas, Nevada with Shaya Ansari: P102 16 Q. Okay. Any other property save and except the 17 ones you've testified to so far, Mr. Farahmand? 18 A. No. I've testified to four. 19 Q. Yes, sir, you have. In the United States. 20 A. I think I have one in Vegas, Las Vegas. 21 Q. Okay. 22 A. Or through Badmand Holdings and another friend 23 of mine. 24 Q. What's your friend's name, please? 25 A. Shaya. P103 1 Q. Could you spell it for us? 2 A. S-H-A-Y-A. 3 Q. Uh-huh. 4 A. Ansari, A-N-S-A-R-I.

Owns rental property with Shaya Ansari in Caho San Lucas, Mexico: P104

Respondent's First Verified Motion for Continuance 4JPage

22 Q. And where is this property located? 23 A. Caho San Lucas. 24 Q. What's the date of purchase? 25 A. 2006. P105 1 Q. What was the purchase price? 2 A. At that time, I think it was half a million. 3 Q. It's not a timeshare, is it, sir? 4 A. No. 5 Q. Okay. And is it -- is it -- do you rent it out 6 or do you ... 7 A. I don't. 8 Q. Is it -- who does, if they do? 9 A. Shaya. 10 Q. Okay. So he -- Mr. Shaya is your -- I don't 11 want to use the wrong word here -- partner or associate 12 in this property, also? 13 A. Yes. 14 Q. Okay. 15 A. He's a dear friend, like -- like my brother. 16 Q. Okay. Is there only two of you? 17 A. Yes. 18 Q. Could you give me the address of that property, 19 please? 20 A. Sure. 21 Q. Thank you. 22 A. Pedregal, Caho San Lucas.

Owns a Boat with Shaya Ansari: P109 1 Do you have an interest in a boat? 2 A. Possibly. 3 Q. Okay. Could you tell the Court what "maybe" 4 means as far as your interest in a boat?

Respondent's First Verified Motion for Continuance SI Page

5 A. Yes. I don't know if my partner has sold the 6 interest or we still possess it or what happened. 7 Q. Is this your partner Tom? 8 A. No, Tom's not my partner. 9 Q. Okay. Please forgive me, then. 10 You said partner. I hadn't heard anything 11 about a partner except Shaya -- Shaya -- Shaya. 12 A. You've never asked, but Shaya's my partner, 13 yes -- 14 Q. Okay. 15 A. -- in that situation. 16 Q. Is that the partner in the boat, also? 17 A. Yes.

See Exhibit C. Madoud Anasri lives in New Jersey and was not made available for a deposition and did not provide an expert report. Thus, how can Respondent prepare for his anticipated testimony when no information has been provided for review?

8. Petitioner's Petition to Declare Marriage Void is set for hearing on July 29, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. See Exhibit A. This hearing will determine the validity of Respondent's marriage to Petitioner. Respondent should be afforded the opportunity to adequately prepare for same. Due to Petitioner filing more than fifty (50) documents in less than thirty-five (35) days prior to the deadline for completion of discovery and amending the pleadings on file, not including designating an out-of-state expert whose son will be financially affected by the Respondent's First Verified Motion for Continuance 61Page ruling of the court, Respondent has not been able to adequately prepare for the July 29th hearing date.

9. Due to the reasons set forth in this Motion, Respondent respectfully asks this Court for a brief continuance to allow for the Respondent to adequately prepare for the hearing Petitioner's Petition to Declare Marriage Void that is currently set for hearing on July 29, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. and to allow the Respondent an opportunity to file and have this Court hear motions including, but not limited to, the following prior to the final setting on July 29, 2014: Motion to Strike or Exclude Experts and Motion for Summary Judgment on Marriage Issue.

10. This continuance is not sought solely for delay but that justice may be done. See Exhibit B.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Respondent, Maryam Farahmand, asks this Court to continue the hearing that is currently set for July 29, 2014, at 9:00 a.m. on Petitioner's Petition to Declare Marriage Void and reset same for a future date or for at least one hundred and twenty (120) days and modify all deadlines identified in the Agreed Scheduling Order to adhere to same. Respondent further asks for any and all such other relief, either at law or equity to which she may show herself to be justly entitled including, but not limited to, attorney's fees Respondent's First Verified Motion for Continuance 7JPage and expenses.

13 MR. NACE: Your Honor, we have the original 14 with another witness. That is a copy. 15 THE COURT: Why isn't the original of a 16 marriage license on file with my clerk? 17 MR. NACE: From what I understand, to file 18 it that was their responsibility through her family. But 19 the original does exist. 20 THE COURT: Where is the original? 21 MR. NACE: My client can better answer that 22 judge through another witness.

I'm not ordering you to. I'm not forbidding you 9 to. Dr. Woods is the main primary treatment guy. You 10 will continue in your treatment with Dr. Woods. 11 Everyone in this room understand that if 12 somebody has a chemical imbalance in their brain, I don't 13 hold it against them if they are dealing with it 14 appropriately. 15 Now, I've got an eight-month-old kid. And 16 Mr. Nace, just so you'll know, while this testimony about 17 another wedding is interesting, even assuming for the 18 sake of discussion that some ceremony was performed, that 19 license isn't on file, so I don't have a valid prior 20 ceremonial marriage. I may or I may not have a valid 21 informal marriage and that would certainly be some 22 evidence of it. But you're miles from at the very least 23 cohabitation. So at least today, I'm not -- don't have 24 any concerns about there being a bigamy situation. That 25 doesn't mean there isn't one. I'm just saying today, in

•!!Ill•••••• I was unsuccessful in getting the MSJ set before or on July 29. The Court Coordinator was very adamant about the docket being closed for the month of July. She also stated that the 401st Judge does not hear motions by submission anyway. She will not let us remove our Mtn to Compel and add the MSJ in its place either. She stated NO additions, NO deletions, NO substitutions - NO changes whatsoever. I let Bob know this · ·

ROGER FARAHMAND’S RECORD TAB 13

Filed: 7/12/2014 12:20:59 PM Andrea S. Thompson District Clerk Collin County, Texas By Lisa Sharpe Deputy Envelope ID: 1805836

NO. 417-56531-2013

IN THE MATTER OF § IN THE DISTRICT COURT THE MARRIAGE OF § § ROGERARASHFARAHMAND § AND § 4171h JUDICIAL DISTRICT MARYAM FARAHMAND § § AND IN THE INTEREST OF § , A CHILD § COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS

RESPONDENT'S OBJECTION TO AND MOTION TO STRIKE PETITIONER'S CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE

TO THE HONORABLE JUDGE OF SAID COURT:

COMES NOW, Maryam Farahmand, the Respondent and Counter-Petitioner in the above-styled and numbered cause, and files this Objection to and Motion to Strike Petitioner'. In support of thereof, Maryam Farahmand (hereinafter the "Respondent") would respectfully show the Court as follows:

I. MARCH 10, 2014 HEARING

1. On March 10, 2014, the Honorable Judge Mark Rusch, presiding over the 401 st Judicial District Court of Collin County, Texas, heard the parties request for Temporary Orders. Relating to the purported marriage license, when it was offered to the Court as evidence, it was not admitted. See Exhibit A, Page 4. See also, Exhibit A, Pages 18-19. Respondent's Motion to Strike Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage llPage

2. Additionally, by the Petitioner's attorney of record's own admissions, the original marriage license prepared by the County Clerk in the year 2009 was never filed and, by statute, expired on the thirty-first (31st) day following issuance. See Exhibit A, Page 18. Thus, Petitioner has actual awareness that the purported "Marriage Certificate" was never filed and has expired by statute.

3. Further, Page 77 of transcript of March 10, 2014, hearing, wherein the Court Reporter noted on the top right hand comer as "Ruling," in relevant part, states, "that license isn't on file, so I don't have a valid prior ceremonial marriage." See Exhibit A, Page 77, Lines 18-20. Therefore, it is the contention of the Respondent that on March 10, 2014, the Court ruled that no formal ceremonial marriage occurred by and between the Respondent and any third party.

II. PETITIONER'S CERTIFICATE OF MARRIAGE FILING

4. On or about May 27, 2014, at 9:51 :59 a.m., Petitioner filed a

document entitled "Certificate of Marriage" and attached the purported "marriage license" to same. The "Certificate of Marriage" does not contain one (1) sentence in the body of that document and does not reference any discovery production or disclosure responses. This filing occurred more than two (2) months after the March 10, 2014, hearing wherein the Honorable Judge Rusch, in relevant part, stated, "I don't have a valid prior ceremonial marriage." See Exhibit A, Page 77, Respondent's Motion to Strike Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage 2jPagc Lines 18-20.

III. REQUEST TO WITHDRAW CERTIFICATE

5. On or about July 11, 2014, counsel for Respondent requested that the Petitioner "please identify the basis or grounds for the filing AND advise if Petitioner is willing to formally withdraw Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage filed on Mary 27, 2014, at 9:51:59 a.m." See Exhibit C. Petitioner's counsel responded to said request as follows:

In response to your inquiry, please be advised that the grounds for our pleading can be found within the body of that document, as well as our discovery production and disclosure responses. We do not agree to withdraw it. Your assertion as to the Judge's 'ruling' is patently false and possibly actionable and I would suggest that you read the entire transcript and reconsider your position. I'm happy to discuss the matter further if you wish to do so.

See Exhibit C. As Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage contains not even one (1) word or sentence as to the basis of the filing and there are no references to extemporaneous documents, it is the contention of the Respondent that there is no basis for the filing other than an attempt to have the document "judicially noticed" at future hearings and/or at trial. This is improper as the purported "marriage license" has not been admitted as evidence in any hearing, was never filed with the Collin County Clerk, and has expired by its own terms, as judicially admitted by

Petitioner's counsel. Respondent's Motion to Strike Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage 31Pagc

IV. OBJECTION AND BASIS TO STRIKE

6. Respondent fervently objects to the filing and the document

attached thereto. It is the contention of the Respondent that Petitioner's "Certificate of Marriage" is a groundless pleading that has no basis in fact and is unwarranted by existing law or a good faith argument for the extension, modification, or reversal of existing law. Tex. Civ. Prac. Rem. Code §9.001.

7. The standard for reviewing whether a pleading is groundless is objective: Did the party and attorneys make a reasonable inquiry into the legal and factual basis of the claim. See Tanner, 856 S.W.2d at 730. The reasonableness of the inquiry is judged by the facts available and the circumstances present at the time the party filed the pleading. Tarrant Cty. v. Chancey, 942 S.W.2d 151, 155 (Tex. App. - Fort Worth 1997, no writ). In the present case, the following facts were known by Petitioner's counsel prior to the filing:

> Purported marriage license was never filed with the Collin County

Clerk.

> Purported marriage license expired by its own terms. > Purported marriage license was not admitted into evidence at the

March 10, 2014, hearing.

> At the March 10, 2014, hearing, the Presiding Judge, in relevant part, Respondent's Motion to Strike Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage 41Pagc

stated, "that license isn't on file, so I don't have a valid pnor

ceremonial marriage." See Exhibit A, Page 77, Lines 18-20. Unquestionably, the purported marriage license filed by Petitioner on May 27, 2014, is not valid and wholly void. Petitioner had actual knowledge that the purported marriage license was void and not valid, yet filed the document with the Court anyway.

8. Further, a pleading is frivolous unless each allegation or factual contention has evidentiary support or, for a specifically identified allegation or factual contention, is likely to have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation, or discovery. TEX. C1v. PRAC. & REM. CODE § 10.001 (3 ). In the present case, Petitioner has failed to provide any evidentiary support or basis for the filing of the purported marriage license. (Note: Petitioner's counsel judicially acknowledged that the purported marriage license was never filed with the Colin County Clerk. Thus, Petitioner's counsel had actual knowledge that it is not a valid marriage license.)

V. PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, the Respondent, Maryam Farahmand, after notice and hearing, asks this Court to grant this motion and enter the following orders: Respondent's Motion to Strike Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage SI Page

1. Order Striking Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage filed on May

27, 2014, at 9:51 a.m. in its entirety;

2. Admonishment to Petitioner and/or Petitioner's Counsel of

Record for filing a groundless and frivolous pleading;

3. Awarding attorney's fees to Respondent for the preparation and

filing of this motion;

4. Respondent further asks for any and all such other relief, either

at law or equity to which she may show herself to be justly

entitled. Respondent's Motion to Strike Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage 6jPagc

1 THE COURT: Sustained. 2 MR. NACE: We 1 ll offer.

3 THE COURT: Does it have a number on it? 4 MR. NACE: Yes, Your Honor, Petitioner's 1.

5 MR. CORBITT: Predicate has not been 6 issued. 7 THE COURT: Let me see it, please. 8 MR. NACE: Yes, Your Honor. 9 (Document present to the Court)

10 THE COURT: Mr. Nace, I have what appears 11 to be a Xerox copy. I don't see a clerk's stamp on here 12 anywhere. 13 MR. NACE: Your Honor, we have the original

14 with another witness. That is a copy. 15 THE COURT: Why isn't the original of a 16 marriage license on file with my clerk? 17 MR. NACE: From what I understand, to file 18 it that was their responsibility through her family. But 19 the original does exist. 20 THE COURT: Where is the original? 21 MR. NACE: My client can better answer that

22 judge through another witness. Because of things missing

23 in this case, our chain of custody, we want to make sure 24 we're keeping things intact. 25 THE COURT: His objection is sustained at

1 this point in time. 2 MR. NACE: May I re-approach the witness?

3 THE COURT: sure.

4 Q. (By Mr. Nace) Sir, re-handing you this particular s exhibit, when you perform these weddings before, do you 6 typically sign off as a witness having performed a 7 wedding ceremony? 8 MR. CORBITT: Please the Court, objection 9 as to any relevancy regarding what he's done in the past. 10 We're only worried about 11 THE COURT: Overruled. 12 INTERPRETER: Can you repeat the question? 13 Q. (By Mr. Nace) Yes. With regard to the eight to 14 ten wedding ceremonies Mr. Ghaffari has performed in his

15 years, does he typically sign and certify that the 16 parties were united in marriage? 17 A. Usually I write the name of the couple, the 18 people who are getting married, in the marriage portion 19 and all the information in a piece of paper and they sign 20 it. 21 Q. And there's no question in Mr. Ghaffari's mind 22 that this piece of paper that I offered as Exhibit 1 is 23 his signature and nobody else's? 24 A. This is my signature for sure. 25 MR. NACE: Pass the witness.

1 period. This child does not leave the United States, 2 period.

3 Mother is ordered to continue her

4 psychological course of treatment with Dr. Woods, if that 5 involves counseling, medication, or whatever, and to 6 abide by and follow all of his orders and instructions. 7 Mr. Gordon is a forensic guy, you can continue with him, 8 or not. I'm not ordering you to. I'm not forbidding you

9 to. Dr. Woods is the main primary treatment guy. You 10 will continue in your treatment with Dr. Woods. 11 Everyone in this room understand that if 12 somebody has a chemical imbalance in their brain, I don't 13 hold it against them if they are dealing with it 14 appropriately.

15 Now, I've got an eight-month-old kid. And 16 Mr. Nace, just so you'll know, while this testimony about 17 another wedding is interesting, even assuming for the 18 sake of discussion that some ceremony was performed, that 19 license isn't on file, so I don't have a valid prior 20 ceremonial marriage. I may or I may not have a valid 21 informal marriage and that would certainly be some 22 evidence of it. But you're miles from at the very least 23 cohabitation. So at least today, I'm not -- don't have 24 any concerns about there being a bigamy situation. That 25 doesn't mean there isn't one. I'm just saying today, in

In response to your inquiry, please be advised that the grounds for our pleading can be found within the body of that document, as well as our discovery production and disclosure responses. We do not agree to withdraw it. Your assertion as to the Judge's 'ruling' is patently false and possibly actionable and I would suggest that you read the entire transcript and reconsider your position. I'm happy to discuss the matter further if you wish to do so.

Please allow this correspondence to serve as a certificate of conference on Respondent's intent to file a Motion to Strike and for possible Sanctions on the following matter: »On March 10, 2014, during a hearing, Petitioner presented the Court a duplicate of the purported "marriage license" of Respondent and a third party. »On March 10, 2014, Petitioner's counsel of record, Bradford Nace, judicially admitted that same was never filed with the Clerk in the year 2009 or in the year 2010. »On March 10, 2014, the Honorable Judge Rusch ruled that there was no "valid prior ceremonial marriage." »Thus, although Judge Rusch has formally ruled that (1) there is no valid ceremonial marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari, in May 2014 Petitioner's counsel of record filed same with the Court.

At your earliest convenience, please identify the basis or grounds for the filing AND advise if Petitioner is willing to formally withdraw Petitioner's Certificate of Marriage filed on Mary 27, 2014, at 9:51:59 a.m.

c. The minor child is He is represented

by Diane L. Porter.

2. The pleadings on file are summarized in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as if set forth fully herein.

3. Discovery in this suit is governed by an Agreed Scheduling Order entered on or about May 2, 2014.

4. This matter is not presently set for trial.

Ill. SUMMARY OF MOTION

5. Respondent moves for partial summary judgment based upon both

traditional summary judgment grounds and no-evidence summary judgment grounds. A party may, in a single motion, present grounds appropriate for a traditional summary judgment and grounds appropriate for a no-evidence summary judgment. See Binur v. Jacobo, 135 S.W.3d 646, 650-51 (Tex. 2004). This motion is sometimes called a hybrid motion for summary judgment. See Young Ref Corp. v. Pennzoil Co., 46 S.W.3d 380, 385 (Tex. App. -Houston [1st Dist.] 2001, pet. denied). The party should specify the standard on which the summary judgment is sought. See, e.g., Waite v. Woodard, Hall & Primm, P.C., 137 S.W.3d277, 281 (Tex. App. -Houston [1st Dist.] 2004, no pet.). In the present case, Respondent shall present the basis for which she is entitled to partial summary judgment based upon Petitioner's allegations of a purported

prior marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. Respondent 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 6

would show:

>- Respondent seeks a motion for summary judgment, based upon the no

evidence motion for summary judgment standard, on Petitioner's

burden to prove a valid former marriage by and between Respondent and

Amir Bagherkalantari and its continued validity. Estate of Claveria v.

Claveria, 615 S.W.2d 164, 166 (Tex. 1981) and Tex. Fam. Code §1.102.

As Petitioner is the party attacking the validity of the most recent

marriage, Petitioner has the burden of proving a valid prior marriage.

Respondent is challenging 20 elements that are the bases to prove either a

formal or ceremonial marriage or an informal or common law marriage.

Said challenged elements are identified in Paragraphs 16-50 below and

summarized in Paragraph 15 below.

~ Respondent seeks a motion for summary judgment, based upon the

traditional motion for summary judgment standard, due to her

disproving at least one ( 1) essential element of Petitioner's cause of

action or burden of proof. Specifically, Respondent is providing

competent summary judgment evidence that conclusively establishes that

the following statutory requirements identified in the Texas Family Code

that are required to establish a formal or ceremonial marriage have been

disproved: §§2.201, 2.202, 2.203, and 2.206. Additionally, Respondent is 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 7

providing competent summary judgment evidence that conclusively

establishes that the following statutory requirements identified in the

Texas Family Code that are required to establish a informal or common

law marriage have been disproved: §2.401.

V. ARGUMENTS & AUTHORITIES

7. Respondent incorporates Paragraphs 1-6 by reference as if fully set forth herein. A. RESPONDENT SEEKS A PARTIAL MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT, BASED UPON THE No EVIDENCE MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT STANDARD, ON PETITIONER'S BURDEN To PROVE A VALID FORMER MARRIAGE Bv AND BETWEEN RESPONDENT AND AMIR BAGHERKALANTARI AND ITS CONTINUED VALIDITY (No EVIDENCE MOTION FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT)

8. The purpose of the no-evidence summary judgment procedure, which is modeled after federal summary judgment practice, is to pierce the pleadings and evaluate the evidence to see if a trial is necessary. See Benitz v. Gould Group, 27 S.W.3d 109, 112 (Tex. App. - San Antonio 2000, no pet.).To accomplish this, the no-evidence summary judgment procedure is designed to isolate and dispose of claims or defenses not supported by facts. See Cf Celotex. Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323-24, 106 S. Ct. 2548, 2553 (1986). In the present case, Respondent's Motion for Summary Judgment is proper because Petitioner has failed to provide evidence raising a genuine issue of material fact to prove a valid prior and existing marriage of Respondent, for which he has the burden of proof at trial. (1) STANDARD FOR No EVIDENCE MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

9. The purpose of the no-evidence summary judgment procedure, which is modeled after federal summary judgment practice, is to pierce the pleadings and evaluate the evidence to see if a trial is necessary. Benitz v. Gould Group, 27 S.W.3d 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page9 109, 112 (Tex. App. - San Antonio 2000, no pet.). To accomplish this, the no-evidence summary judgment procedure is designed to isolate and dispose of claims or defenses not supported by facts. Cf. Celotex. Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323-24, 106 S. Ct. 2548, 2553 (1986). In the present case, Respondent's Motion for Summary Judgment is proper because Petitioner has failed to provide evidence raising a genuine issue of material fact on the essential elements to prove a valid marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. (2) PETITIONER HAS HAD ADEQUATE TIME FOR DISCOVERY

10. The no-evidence motion for summary judgment should be filed after the nonmovant has had "an adequate time for discovery." Tex. R. Civ. Pro. 166a(i); Morehouse v. Chase Manhattan Bank, 76 S.W.3d 608, 612 (Tex. App. -San Antonio 2002, no pet.). However, the rule does not require that discovery be completed. Specialty Retailers v. Fuqua, 29 S.W.3d 140, 145 (Tex. App. - Houston [14th Dist.] 2000, pet. denied.).

11. However, to further determine whether the nonmovant had an adequate time for discovery, courts examine some of the following factors: (a) the nature of the claim, (b) the evidence necessary to controvert the motion, (c) the length of time the case was on file, (d) the length of time the no-evidence motion was on file, (e) whether the movant requested stricter deadlines for discovery, (e) the amount of discovery already conducted, and (f) whether the discovery deadlines in place were specific or 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 10 vague. Restaurant Teams Int 'l v. MG Sec. Corp., 95 S.WJd 336, 339 (Tex. App. -Dallas 2002, no pet.)(7 month old case); Martinez v. City ofSan Antonio, 40 S.W.3d 587, 591 (Tex. App. - San Antonio 2001, pet. denied)(5-year old case); see also McClure v. Attebury, 20 S.W.3d 722, 729 (Tex. App. -Amarillo 1999, no pet.)(need for discovery minimal because issue was a question of law.) In the present case, this issue has been on the Court's docket from the date ofMarch28, 2014, the date of filing of the Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void. On or about Mary 2, 2014, the parties entered into an Agreed Scheduling Order providing that discovery would close on or about June 27, 2014. Thus, Petitioner has had adequate time for discovery. (3) BASIS OF MOTION

12. Respondent seeks partial summary judgment on Petitioner's allegation that "Respondent was already legally married" to Amir Bagherkalantari at the time of her marriage to Petitioner. See Page 2, Section I, Paragraph 7, entitled "Grounds" that, in relevant part, states, "The purported marriage is void and of no effect under the provisions of section 6.202 of the Texas Family Code because Respondent was already legally married." Tex. Fam. Code§ 6.202.The Texas Family Code and supporting case law places the burden of proving a valid prior marriage on the person alleging same. Specifically, Section 1.102 of the Texas Family Code states, "When two or more marriages of a person to different spouses are alleged, the most recent marriage is presumed to be valid as against each marriage that precedes the most recent marriage 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 11 until one who asserts the validity of a prior marriage proves the validity of the prior marriage." Tex. Fam. Code §1.102. Petitioner's allegations against Respondent, as identified in his Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void, are as follows:

13. Page 2, Section I, Paragraph 7, entitled "Grounds" states,

Petitioner and Respondent entered into a purported marriage on July 28, 2012. The purported marriage is void and of no effect under the provisions of section 6.202 of the Texas Family Code because Respondent was already legally married. The prior marriage of Respondent was to Amir Bagherkalantari and occurred o or about December 12, 2009. Respondent's marriage to Amir Bagherkalantari was never dissolved by divorce or annulment or terminated by the death of Amir Bagherkalantari.

14. In the present case, Petitioner has the burden of proving the impediment of a prior marriage of Respondent and its continued validity. Estate of Claveria v. Claveria, 615 S.W.2d 164, 166 (Tex. 1981). Section 1.102 of the Texas Family Code further states that the most recent marriage is presumed to be valid as against each marriage that precedes the most recent marriage until one who asserts the validity of a prior marriage proves the validity of the prior marriage. Tex. Fam. Code 1.102. The Court in Loera v. Loera held that the party attacking the validity of the marriage has a burden to 'introduce sufficient evidence, standing alone, to negate the dissolution of the prior marriage." Loera v. Loera, 815 S. W.2d 910, 911 (Tex. App. - Corpus Christi 1991, no writ). 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 12

16. To prove a ceremonial or formal marriage transpired, the marriage must comply with the statutory requirements listed in the Family Code for obtaining a marriage license and participating in the marriage ceremony. See Tex. Fam. Code §§2.001-2.302; Brown v. Brown, 256 S.W.2d 143, 143 (Tex. App. - Beaumont 153, writ refd n.r.e.). In the present case, Petitioner is unable to present competent summary judgment evidence that the statutory requirements identified in Section 2.202 (a)(l) of the Texas Family Code were complied with by Petitioner and any third party:

17. Petitioner has no evidence to support Challenged Element No. 1 to prove that the statutory requirement identified in Section 2.202 (a)(l) of the Texas Family Code was complied with by Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari.

See Tex. Fam. Code §§2.001-2.302. While Petitioner has provided a "blanket" statement, Petitioner is unable to meet his burden of proof by presenting competent summary judgment evidence raising a genuine issue of fact on the challenged element as it relates to Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. As Petitioner has the burden of proving the impediment of a prior marriage of Respondent and its continued validity, and Petitioner is unable to provide competent summary judgment evidence on Challenged Element No. 1, Respondent is entitled to summary judgment on the Petitioner's cause of action to declare the current marriage of Petitioner and Respondent void due to a prior existing formal or ceremonial marriage. (b) Challenged Element Number 2: No Evidence of Person Authorized to

Conduct Ceremony-Tex. Fam. Code §2.202 (a)(2).

19. Petitioner has no evidence to support Challenged Element No. 2 to prove that the statutory requirement identified in Section 2.202 (a)(2) of the Texas Family Code was complied with by Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. A formal or ceremonial marriage is proved by establishing compliance of the statutory requirements listed in the Family Code for obtaining a marriage license and participating in the marriage ceremony. See Tex. Fam. Code §§2.001-2.302. While Petitioner has provided a "blanket" statement, Petitioner is unable to meet his burden of proof by presenting competent summary judgment evidence raising a genuine issue of fact on the challenged element as it relates to Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari.

(t) Challenged Element Number 20: No Evidence of Continued Valid

Marriage By And Between Respondent And Amir Bagherkalantari.

50. Petitioner has no evidence to support the requested relief of having the Court determine his marriage to Respondent is void pursuant to Section 6.202 of the Texas Family Code, as the burden is upon Petitioner to provide evidence that there is a continuing valid marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. Tex. Fam. Code § 1.102. While the Petitioner has provided a "blanket" statement, Petitioner is unable to meet its burden of proof by presenting competent summary judgment evidence raising a genuine issue of fact on the challenged element. Thus, Respondent is entitled to summary judgment on Petitioner's cause of action to declare marriage void. As Petitioner has the burden of proving the impediment of a prior marriage of Respondent and its continued validity, and Petitioner is unable to provide competent summary judgment evidence on Challenged Element No. 20, Respondent is entitled to summary judgment on the Petitioner's cause of action to declare the current marriage of Petitioner and Respondent void due to a continuing prior marriage of Respondent. 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 44 (4) SUMMARY

51. Petitioner has no evidence to rebut the presumption that his marriage to Respondent is invalid due to prior valid marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. The party attacking the presumption that the most recent marriage is valid must prove prior and existing marriage. Tex. Fam. Code 1.102. Petitioner lacks evidence to support a valid prior existing marriage, whether a formal ceremonial marriage or an informal or common law marriage, by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. While the Petitioner has provided "blankets" in his pleadings, Petitioner is unable to meet his burden of proof by presenting competent summary judgment evidence raising a genuine issue of fact on Challenged Elements 1-20 identified above. The burden of proof is upon Petitioner to negate the presumption that his marriage to Respondent is void due to a valid prior marriage. Tex. Fam. Code § 1.102.

52. In conclusion, summary judgment on behalf of Respondent is proper as Petitioner is unable to meet his burden of proof by presenting competent summary judgment evidence proving the impediment of a prior marriage of Respondent and its continued validity, which Petitioner has the burden of proof at trial. Specifically, summary judgment on behalf of Respondent is proper as Petitioner has failed, and is unable, to provide evidence raising a genuine issue of material fact on Challenged

Elements 1-20 identified above which are necessary to prove a valid marriage in 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 45

existence by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari and, thus thereby, voiding Petitioner's and Respondent's marriage pursuant to the Section 6.202 of the Texas Family Code. As Petitioner is unable to meet its burden of proof by presenting competent summary judgment evidence raising a genuine issue of fact on the challenged elements, Respondent is entitled to summary judgment.

B. MOTION FOR TRADITIONAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT BASED UPON HER DISPROVING AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF PETITIONER'S CAUSE OF ACTION THAT HER MOST RECENT MARRIAGE Is VOID DUE To A PRIOR VALID MARRIAGE - EITHER FORMAL OR INFORMAL

53. Respondent can move for summary judgment based upon providing all the elements of the movant' s claim or defense or disproves the facts of at least one element of the nonmovant's claim or defense. See Johnson & Johnson Med. Inc. v. Sanchez, 924 S.W.2d 925, 927 (Tex. 1996); see Mcintyre v. Ramirez, 109 S.WE.3d 741, 748 (Tex. 2003). In the present case, Respondent moves for summary judgment (based upon the traditional summary judgment standards) by proving that statutory requirements to prove either a valid ceremonial/formal marriage or an informal/common law marriage have not been met, thus, disproving at least one element of the nonmovant's claim AND by providing evidence that supports her affirmative defense that she did not enter into an informal marriage with Amir Bagherkalantari. 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 46 (1) STANDARD FOR TRADITIONAL MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

54. This Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Petitioner's Allegations of Prior Marriage to Amir Bagherkalantari is being in part filed pursuant to Rule l 66a of the TEXAS RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. Rule 166a of the TEXAS RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE states,

For Claimant. A party seeking to recover upon a claim, counterclaim, or cross-claim or to obtain a declaratory judgment may, at any time after the adverse party has appeared or answered, move with or without supporting affidavits for a summary judgment in his favor upon all or any part thereof. A summary judgment, interlocutory in character, may be rendered on the issue of liability alone although there is a genuine issue as to amount of damages.

Tex. R. Civ. Pro. 166a.

55. When a nonmovant moves for summary judgment based on the summary judgment evidence, the court can grant the motion only when the movant's evidence, as a matter of law, either proves all the elements of the movant's claim or defense or disproves the facts of at least one element of the nonmovant's claim or defense. See, e.g. Park Place Hosp. v. Estate of Milo, 909 S.W.2d 508, 511 (Tex. 1995). When a respondent moves for summary judgment on its affirmative defense, it must prove each element of its defense as a matter of law, leaving no issues of material fact. See Johnson & Johnson Med. Inc. v. Sanchez, 924 S.W.2d 925, 927 (Tex. 1996); see Mcintyre v. Ramirez, 109 S.WE.3d 741, 748 (Tex. 2003). In the present case, 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 47 Respondent is entitled to summary judgment by disproving at least one element of the nonmovant' s claim or defense. As demonstrated herein, there are no genuine issues of material fact. It has long been held that summary judgment must be granted when only questions of law are presented and no genuine issues of material fact exist. (2) BASIS OF MOTION

56. In the State of Texas, there are two (2) forms of marriages: (1) the formal marriage and (2) the informal marriage. Petitioner has alleged that a marriage was entered into by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari on or about December 12, 2009, thus, voiding Respondent's marriage to Petitioner on or about July 28, 2012, pursuant to Section 6.202 of the Texas Family Code. See Page 2, Section I, Paragraph 7, entitled "Grounds" of Petitioner's Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void. In the present case, Respondent can conclusively disprove at least one ( 1) element of Petitioner's burden of proving either an formal/ceremonial marriage or informal/common law marriage AND prove her affirmative defense of no prior marriage. (a) Formal or Ceremonial Marriage

57. In the State of Texas, a formal marriage is sometimes referred as a "ceremonial marriage" or a "licensed marriage." In formal marriages, the statutory requirements listed in the Family Code for obtaining a marriage license and

participating in a marriage ceremony must be strictly adhered. See Tex. Fam. Code 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 48

§§2.001-2.302; Brown v. Brown, 256 S.W.2d 143, 143, (Tex. Ap. -Beaumont 1953, writ ref d n.r.e.).

58. In the present case, the evidence conclusively establishes that the following statutory requirements necessary to form and evidence a valid formal or ceremonial marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari were not complied with and, therefore, there has never been a valid formal or ceremonial marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari:

(1) Tex. Fam. § 2.201 EXPIRATIONOFLICENSE. Ifamarriage ceremony has not been conducted before the Code 90th day after the date the license is issued, the marriage license expires. (2) Tex. Fam. § 2.202 PERSONS AUTHORIZED TO CONDUCT CEREMONY. (a) The following persons Code are authorized to conduct a marriage ceremony: ( 1) a licensed or ordained Christian minister or priest; (2) a Jewish rabbi; (3) a person who is an officer of a religious organization and who is authorized by the organization to conduct a marriage ceremony; (4) a justice of the supreme court, judge of the court of criminal appeals, justice of the courts of appeals, judge of the district, county, and probate courts, judge of the county courts at law, judge of the courts of domestic relations, judge of the juvenile courts, retired justice or judge of those courts, justice of the peace, retired justice of the peace, judge of a municipal court, retired judge of a municipal court, or judge or

140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 49

magistrate of a federal court of this state; and (5) a retired judge or magistrate of a federal court of this state. (b) For the purposes of Subsection (a)( 4), a retired judge or justice is a former judge or justice who is vested in the Judicial Retirement System of Texas Plan One or the Judicial Retirement System of Texas Plan Two or who has an aggregate of at least 12 years of service as judge or justice of any type listed in Subsection (a)(4). (b-1) For the purposes of Subsection (a)(5), a retired judge or magistrate is a former judge or magistrate of a federal court of this state who is fully vested in the Federal Employees Retirement System under 28 U.S.C. Section 371 or 377. (c) Except as provided by Subsection (d), a person commits an offense ifthe person knowingly conducts a marriage ceremony without authorization under this section. An offense under this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. (d) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly conducts a marriage ceremony of a minor whose marriage is prohibited by law or of a person who by marrying commits an offense under Section 25.01, Penal Code. An offense under this subsection is a felony of the third degree.

(3) Tex. Fam. § 2.203 CEREMONY. (a) On receiving an unexpired marriage license, an authorized Code person may conduct the marriage ceremony as provided by this subchapter. (b) A person may assent to marriage by the appearance of a proxy appointed in the affidavit authorized by Subchapter A if the person is: 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 50

( 1) a member of the armed forces of the United States stationed in another country in support of combat or another military operation; and (2) unable to attend the ceremony.

(4) Tex. Fam. § 2.206 RETURN OF LICENSE; PENALTY. (a) The person who conducts a marriage Code ceremony shall record on the license the date on which and the county in which the ceremony is performed and the person's name, subscribe the license, and return the license to the county clerk who issued it not later than the 30th day after the date the ceremony is conducted. (b) A person who fails to comply with this section commits an offense. An offense under this section is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of not less than $200 and not more than $500.

59. Respondent is entitled to summary judgment on disproving the facts of at least one element of the nonmovant's claim. Essentially, Respondent's establishment of lack of adherence to statutory requirements of the Texas Family Code disproves at least one element of Petitioner's burden to prove a valid prior formal or ceremonial marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. (1) SECTION 2.201 OF THE TEXAS FAMILY CODE

60. Pursuant to Section 2.201 of the Texas Family Code, "If a marriage ceremony has not been conducted before the 90th day after the date the license is

issued, the marriage license expires." See Tex. Fam. Code §2.201. In the present case, 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 51

Section 2.206(a) of the Texas Family Code, in relevant part, states, that the "person who conducts a marriage ceremony shall record on the license the date on which and the county in which the ceremony is performed and the person's name, subscribe the license, and return the license to the county clerk who issued it not later than the 301h day after the date the ceremony is conduct." See Tex. Fam. Code §2.206(a). On or about March 10, 2014, Mr. Ghaffari testified that he signed the purported marriage license on or about December 12, 2009, as follows:

Page 17 Line 9 Q. (By Mr. Nace) I'm going to hand you what we'll 10 mark as Petitioner's 1. Can you identify this document 11 for the record? 12 INTERPRETER: He said, "This is my 13 signature." 14 So that would be a yes, you can identify this 15 document for the record? 16 A. I don't remember very well, but this is my 17 signature and this is my handwriting. 18 Q. And is this a true and correct copy? 19 A. As you heard, I don't remember it very well. 20 But certainly this is my handwriting, and this is 21 everything that I wrote. See Exhibit D.

140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 52

61. On the same day, Petitioner's attorney judicially admitted that Petitioner is in possession of the original marriage license. See Exhibit D - Page 18, Lines 13-14, of the Hearing Transcript of March 10, 2014. Incontestably, the marriage license allegedly executed by Mr. Ghaffari on or about December 12, 2009, was never filed with the Collin County Clerk and has expired pursuant to Section 2.201 of the Texas Family Code. Respondent is entitled to summary judgment as she has disproved an essential element of Petitioner's cause of action wherein he has the burden of proving a valid prior formal or ceremonial marriage of Respondent. (2) SECTION 2.202 OF THE TEXAS FAMILY CODE

62. In the present case, and pursuant to the allegations of Petitioner on Page 2, Section I, Paragraph 7, entitled "Grounds" of Petitioner's Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void, a marriage occurred on or about December 12, 2009, by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. See Exhibit E. Pursuant to Section 2.202 of the Texas Family Code, a person must be authorized to conduct the marriage ceremony. By Mr. Ghaffari's own testimony provided before the Court on March 10, 2014, Mr. Ghaffari is not qualified to conduct a marriage ceremony within the State of Texas pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.202 of the Texas Family Code. Respondent would respectfully show as follows:

• • Mr. Ghaffari is not a licensed or ordained Christian minister or priest, pursuant to Section 2.202(a)(l) of the Texas Family Code. Page 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 53

13 Line 15 Q. Mr. Ghaffari, I hope I pronounced your name Line 16 correctly. Are you a licensed ordained Christian Line 17 minister? Line 18 A. No, I don't have no license. Line 19 Q. Are you a priest? Line 20 A. No. • Mr. Ghaffari is not a Jewish rabbi, pursuant to Section 2.202(a)(2) of the Texas Family Code. Page 13 Line 21 Q. Are you a Jewish rabbi? Line 22 MR. CORBITT: Am I talking too loud, Judge? Line 23 I'm sorry. Line 24 THE COURT: I can hear you. Line 25 Q. (By Mr. Corbitt) Mr. Ghaffari, are you a Jewish Page Line 1 rabbi? 14 Line 2 A. No. • Mr. Ghaffari is not an officer of a religious organization and who is authorized by the organization to conduct a marriage ceremony, pursuant to Section 2.202(a)(3) of the Texas Family Code. Page 16 Line 5 Mr. Ghaffari, by what authority did you Line 6 perform a wedding? Line 7 THE WITNESS: In Islamic law there is no Line 8 need to have any permission. 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 54

Line 9 THE COURT: Well, are you an Imam? Line 10 THE WITNESS: No. Line 11 THE COURT: Are you telling me that anyone Line 12 in Islamic law is authorized to perform a wedding? Line 13 THE WITNESS: That's my thought and Line 14 understanding. • Mr. Ghaffari is not a justice of the supreme court, judge of the court of criminal appeals, justice of the courts of appeals, judge of the district, county, and probate courts, judge of the county courts at law, judge of the courts of domestic relations, judge of the juvenile courts, retired justice or judge of those courts, justice of the peace, retired justice of the peace, judge of a municipal court, retired judge of a municipal court, or judge or magistrate of a federal court of this state; and is not a retired judge or magistrate of a federal court of this state, pursuant to Sections 2.202(a)(4) and 2.202(a)(5) of the Texas Family Code. Page 14 Line 3 Q. Are you a justice of the Supreme Court? Line 4 A. No. Line 5 Q. Are you a judge of the Court of Criminal Line 6 Appeals? Line 7 A. No. Line 8 Q. Are you a justice of the Court of Appeals, of a Line 9 district, or a county, or a probate court? Line 10 A. No. Line 11 Q. Are you or have you been a judge of a domestic Line 12 relations or juvenile court? Line 13 A. No.

140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 55

Line 14 Q. Are you a retired justice or judge of any of Line 15 those courts that I asked just a minute ago? Line 16 A. No. See Exhibit D.

63. Clearly, Mr. Ghaffari's sworn testimony evidences that he is not a person authorized to conduct a marriage pursuant to Section 2.202 of the Texas Family Code. Mr. Ghaffari's sworn statement that it is his belief that, under Islamic law, anyone can perform a marriage ceremony undeniably controverts the purpose of Section 2.202 of the Texas Family Code to identify persons authorized. (It should be further noted that on or about March 10, 2014, at a hearing before this court, Petitioner presented to the Court a purported marriage license signed by Mr. Ghaffari that identifies that Mr. Ghaffai performed the alleged ceremony and has the title of"Ph.D. in Economics.") A person with a Ph.D. in Economics is not qualified to conduct a marriage ceremony within the State of Texas pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.202 of the Texas Family Code. No marriage ceremony occurred by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. Respondent is entitled to summary judgment as she has disproved an essential element of Petitioner's cause of action wherein he has the burden of proving a valid prior formal or ceremonial marriage of Respondent. (3) SECTION 2.203 OF THE TEXAS FAMILY CODE

64. Section 2.203(a) of the Texas Family Code states, "On receiving an

unexpired marriage license, an authorized person may conduct the marriage ceremony 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 56

as provided by this subchapter." See Tex. Fam. Code§ 2.203(a). On or about March 10, 2014, at a hearing before this court, Petitioner presented to the Court a purported marriage license signed by Mr. Ghaffari. The document itself states that Mr. Ghaffari performed the ceremony and has the title of "Ph.D. in Economics." As extensively discussed in Paragraph 62 above, Mr. Ghaffari is not an authorized person pursuant to the Texas Family Code and did not perform a permanent Muslim wedding. Respondent is entitled to summary judgment as she has disproved an essential element or fact of Petitioner's cause of action wherein he has the burden of proving a valid prior marriage of Respondent. (4) SECTION 2.206 OF THE TEXAS FAMILY CODE

65. Additionally, during the hearing on or about March 10, 2014, Petitioner's attorney made the following judicial admissions to the Court regarding the purported marriage license of Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari:

Page 18 Line 10 THE COURT: Mr. Nace, I have what appears Line 11 to be a Xerox copy. I don't see a clerk's stamp on here Line 12 anywhere. Line 13 MR. NACE: Your Honor, we have the original Line 14 with another witness. That is a copy. Line 15 THE COURT: Why isn't the original of a Line 16 marriage license on file with my clerk?

140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 57

Line 17 MR. NACE: From what I understand, to file Line 18 it that was their responsibility through her family. But Line 19 the original does exist.

Line 20 THE COURT: Where is the original? Line 21 MR. NACE: My client can better answer that Line 22 judge through another witness. Because of things missing Line 23 in this case, our chain of custody, we want to make sure Line 24 we're keeping things intact. See Exhibit D.

66. By the Petitioner's attorney of record's own admissions, the original marriage license prepared by the County Clerk in the year 2009 was never filed and, by statute, expired on the thirty-first (31st) day following issuance. See Exhibit D. (Prior to September 2013, the marriage license expired on the thirty-first (31st day following issuance rather than the ninetieth (90th) day.) Petitioner's attorney further judicially admitted that it was the "responsibility through [Respondent's] family," to have the marriage license filed after the ceremony took place; however, the Texas Family Code unequivocally states that the officiate "shall record on the license the date on which and the county in which the ceremony is performed and the person's name, subscribe the license, and return the license to the county clerk who issued it not later than the 30th day after the date the ceremony is conducted." See Tex. Fam. Code §2.206. Thus, due to Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari not being married, no marriage license is on file with the Collin County Clerk to evidence same. Respondent is entitled to 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 58 summary judgment as she has disproved an essential element or fact of Petitioner's cause of action wherein he has the burden of proving a valid prior marriage of Respondent. b. Informal or Common Law Marriage

67. To prove an informal or common law marriage transpired, the marriage must comply with the statutory requirements listed in the Family Code by the parties agree to be married, live together in Texas as husband and wife, and hold themselves out as husband and wife to others, but who have obtained a marriage license or participated in a marriage ceremony. See Tex. Fam. Code §§2.401; Russell v. Russell, 865 S.W.2d 929, 931 (Tex. 1993). All three statutory elements must exist at the same time for there to be a valid informal marriage. Ballesteros v. Jones, 985 S.W.2d 485, 489 (Tex. App. -San Antonio 1998, pet. denied); Garyv. Gary, 490 S.W.2ds 929, 935 (Tex. App. - Tyler 1973, writ ref d n.r.e.). In the present case, the evidence conclusively establishes that the statutory requirements necessary to form and evidence a valid informal or common law marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari were not complied with and, therefore, there has never been a valid informal or common law marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari: Section 2.401 of the Texas Family Code. 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 59 (1) SECTION2.401 OFTHETEXASFAMILYCODE-NOSIGNEDDECLARATION,NO

COMMENCEMENT OF PROCEEDINGS WITHIN Two (2) YEARS OF CESSATION

OF Co-HABITATION

68. Respondent seeks a motion for summary judgment, based upon the

traditional motion for summary judgment standard, on her affirmative defense that she did not enter into an informal marriage with Amir Bagherkalantari and, that pursuant to Section 2.401 of the Texas Family Code, it is rebuttably presumed that no informal marriage agreement occurred if a proceeding in which a marriage is to be proved is not commenced before the second anniversary of the date on which the parties separated and ceased living together.

69. In the present case, Respondent did not sign a declaration stating that she was married to Amir Bagherkalantari. See Exhibit B, the Affidavit of Maryam Parviz-Khyvi Farahmand. Respondent married Petitioner on or about July 28, 2012. See Exhibit E - Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void and In the Alternative First Amended Petition for Divorce. Respondent ceased living with Amir Bagherkalantari in the year 2010. See Exhibit E, Page 2, Paragraph Numbered 7. No legal proceeding in which an alleged marriage by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari commenced prior to the year 2014, which is more than the second anniversary of the date on which the parties separated and ceased living together Thus, pursuant to Section 2.401 of the Texas Family Code, it is rebuttably presumed that no informal 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 60 marriage agreement occurred by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. Thus, there is no valid informal marriage of Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari. Respondent is entitled to summary judgment as she has disproved an essential element of Petitioner's cause of action wherein he has the burden of proving a valid prior marriage of Respondent. (2) SECTION 2.401 OF THE TEXAS FAMILY CODE - No INTENT TO HAVE A

PRESENT, IMMEDIATE, AND PERMANENT MARITAL RELATIONSHIP

70. To prove an informal or common law marriage transpired, the marriage must comply with the statutory requirements listed in the Family Code by the parties agree to be married, live together in Texas as husband and wife, and hold themselves out as husband and wife to others, but who have obtained a marriage license or participated in a marriage ceremony. See Tex. Fam. Code § §2.401; Russell v. Russell, 865 S.W.2d 929, 931 (Tex. 1993). Section 2.401(a)(2)of the Texas Family Code requires the parties agree to be married. Tex. Fam. Code 2.40l(a)(2). In the present case, Respondent would present the following competent summary judgment evidence that conclusively proves that there was no agreement for a present, immediate, and permanent marital relationship by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari on or about December 12, 2009, the date of the alleged ceremony:

(a) Affidavit of Respondent-Exhibit B; and 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 61

(b) Foreing Language Translation and Affidavit of Purported Ceremony -

Exhibit C.

71. The purported ceremony performed by Mr. Ghaffari was videotaped. See Exhibit C. On or about June 13, 2014, Petitioner filed with the Clerk a document entitled, "Foreign Language Translation and Affidavit," thereby submitting an English translation of the video submitted as "Petitioner's Exhibit 2" at the March 10, 2014, hearing before this Court along with an affidavit certifying that the translation is fair and accurate. See Exhibit C. On Page 8, Time 1:27:55, of the Foreign Language Translation and Affidavit, Respondent's father, in relevant part, states:

I would like to thanks you all my dear friends, which traveled from near and far away to attend this festivity.

Tonight, As you know, we are celebrating the marriage of my daughter my dear Maryam, and dear Amir. Unfortunately, Amir's families are in Iran and they could not attend. At this moment I would like to say hello to them and I hoping to meet them soon and be all together in their wedding.

See Page 8, Time 1:27:55, of the Foreign Language Translation and Affidavit. Emphasis added. Clearly, the statements made by Petitioner's father, the wedding by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari would occur at a future date in the presence of Mr. Bagherkalantari' s family. Respondent is entitled to summary judgment as she has disproved a an essential element or fact of which Petitioner has the

burden of proving a valid prior marriage of Respondent. 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 62

72. Therefore, there was no agreement by and between Respondent and Amir Bagherkalantari for a present, immediate, and permanent marital relationship on or about December 12, 2009, the date of the alleged ceremony, as evidenced by the Affidavit of Respondent and the statements of Respondent's father at the alleged ceremony. Respondent is entitled to summary judgment as she has disproved an essential element of Petitioner's cause of action wherein he has the burden of proving a valid prior marriage of Respondent. (3) SUMMARY

73. In conclusion, summary judgment on behalf of Respondent is proper as Respondent has conclusively disproved at least one (I) element of Petitioner's burden of proving either an formal/ceremonial marriage or informal/common law marriage AND has proved her affirmative defense of no prior marriage. Respondent is entitled to summary judgment.

VI. PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Respondent Maryam Farahmand is entitled to summary judgment for the reasons asserted in this Hybrid Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Petitioner's Allegations of Prior Marriage to Amir Bagherkalantari. Respondent asks the Court to grant this motion and enter summary judgment in favor of Respondent. Moreover, Respondent prays for such other and

further relief to which she may be justly entitled. 140712 Respondent's Hybrid Motion for Summary Judgment Final.doc Page 63

18 you? 19 THE WITNESS: Shi'ite. 20 THE COURT: Thank you. So the world will 21 know, I'm not an expert under Islamic law, but at least 22 I've got his testimony that he is authorized to do that.

EXHIBIT

5. Service

Service of this document may be had in accordance with Rule 2la, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, by serving Respondent's attorney of record, Richard J. Corbitt, Law Office of Richard J. Corbitt, P.C., 6440 N. Central Expressway, Suite 402, Dallas, Texas 75206. 6. Protective Order Statement

I. ORIGINAL PETITION TO DECLARE MARRIAGE VOID AND SUIT AFFECTING THE PARENT-CHILD RELATIONSHIP

7. Grounds

Petitioner and Respondent entered into a purported marriage on July 28, 2012. The purported marriage is void and of no effect under the provisions of section 6.202 of the Texas Family Code because Respondent was already legally married. The prior marriage of Respondent was to Amir Bagherkalantari and occurred on or about December 12, 2009. Respondent's marriage to Amir Bagherkalantari was never dissolved by divorce or annulment or terminated by the death of Amir Bagherkalantari.

ORIGINAL PETITION TO DECLARE MARRIAGE VOID AND IN THE ALTERNATIVE FIRST AMENDED PETITION FOR DIVORCE Page 2

8. Child

Petitioner and Respondent are parents of the following child of this purported marriage who is not under the continuing jurisdiction of any other court:

Name: Sex: Male Birth date:

There are no court-ordered conservatorships, court-ordered guardianships, or other court-ordered relationships affecting the child the subject of this suit.

Information required by section 154.181(b) of the Texas Family Code is provided as follows: Blue Cross, Blue Shield is in effect for the child.

No property of consequence is owned or possessed by the child the subject of this suit.

The appointment of Petitioner and Respondent as joint managing conservators would not be in the best interest of the child. Roger Arash Farahmand, on final hearing, should be appointed sole managing conservator, with all the rights and duties of a parent sole managing conservator. Maryam Farahmand should be appointed possessory conservator with possession and access as determined appropriate following a psychological evaluation and drug and alcohol evaluation, monitoring and supervision with all the rights and duties of a parent conservator. Roger Arash Farahmand should be designated as the

conservator who has the exclusive right to designate the child's primary residence, along with all other rights and duties of a sole managing conservator.

In the alternative, Roger Arash Farahmand requests that he and Maryam Farahmand be designated joint managing conservators and that he have the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the child with the exclusive right to make decisions concerning the child's education, the exclusive right to consent to medical, dental, and surgical treatment involving invasive procedures, and the exclusive right to consent to psychiatric and psychological treatment of the child. Roger Arash Farahmand requests that Maryam Farahmand be awarded possession and access as the Court deems to be in the best interest of the child, and considering the safety and welfare of the child. Roger Arash Farahmand should be awarded possession of the child at all other times not otherwise awarded to Maryam Farahmand.

In all alternatives, Roger Arash Farahmand requests that payments for the support of the child and medical support should be ordered in an amount supported by the guidelines set forth in the Texas Family Code and paid in the manner specified by the Court. Roger Arash Farahmand requests that the payments for the support of the child survive the death of Maryam Farahmand and become the obligation of Maryam Farahmand's estate. Roger Arash Farahmand also requests that Maryam Farahmand seek and follow all recommendations by a qualified

ORIGINAL PETITION TO DECLARE MARRIAGE VOID AND IN THE ALTERNATIVE FIRST AMENDED PETITION FOR DIVORCE Page4

psychiatrist and psychologist as well as to submit to random drug testing, upon request by either Roger Arash Farahmand and/or qualified testing facility. 9. Confirmation ofName

Respondent's name before the purported marriage was Maryam Parviz-Khyavi, and this former name should be confirmed by the Court as her lawful name. 10. Property

Petitioner requests that the Court find the marriage relationship is meretricious and property acquired or accumulated during the void marriage by the parties should not be treated as community property and not be subject to a just and right division. 11. Request for Attorney's Fees, Expenses, Costs, and Interest

It was necessary for Petitioner to secure the services of Bradford Nace of Nace & Motley, LLC and Ike Vanden Eykel, Rebecca Tillery and the firm of KoonsFuller, P.C., licensed attorneys, to preserve and protect the child's rights. Respondent should be ordered to pay reasonable attorney's fees, expenses, and costs through trial and appeal, and a judgment should be rendered in favor of these attorneys and against Respondent and be ordered paid directly to Petitioner's attorneys, who may enforce the judgment in the attorney's own name. Petitioner requests postjudgment interest as allowed by law.

The parties were married on or about July 28, 2012 and ceased to live together as husband and wife on or about December 30, 2013. 15. Grounds for Divorce

16. Property

Petitioner requests the Court to divide their estate in a manner that the Court deems just and right, as provided by law. 17. Separate Property

A SUIT TO DECLARE VOID § IN THE DISTRICT COURT THE MARRIAGE OF § § ROGERARASHFARAHMAND § AND § 417TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT MARYAM FARAHMAND § § AND IN THE INTEREST OF § , A CHILD § COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS

PETITIONER'S SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND MOTION TO STRIKE RESPONDENT'S "FIRST VERIFIED MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE"

Petitioner, Roger A. Farahmand, specially excepts to Respondent, Maryam Farahrnand's "First Verified Motion for Continuance" and asks the Court to order Respondent to replead and cure her pleading defects, and if Respondent fails to cure her pleading defects, Petitioner asks the Court to enter an order striking Respondent's pleading.

SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS

Petitioner specially excepts to Respondent's "First Verified Motion for Continuance" because it contains personal, private and inflammatory allegations and statements, evidentiary "facts," inadmissible hearsay, and attaches unauthenticated documents, all of which is inappropriate and in violation of the Texas Family Code's prohibition of the inclusion of evidentiary facts within

PETITIONER'S SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND MOTION TO STRIKE RESPONDENT'S 1 "FIRST VERIFIED MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE"

Page 1 of 46 pleadings. Texas Family Code § 6.402(c) states, "The court shall strike an allegation of evidentiary fact from the pleadings on the motion of a party or on the court's own motion."

The portions of Respondent's pleading to which Petitioner specially excepts are too voluminous to include in the body of this motion. For the Court's ease of review, a true and correct copy of Respondent's pleading has been attached to this Motion as Exhibit A. The portions Petitioner believes are inappropriate and in violation of Texas Family Code § 6.402( c) have been redacted by Petitioner, and Petitioner requests that the Court order Respondent to cure said pleading defects by a time and date certain.

MOTION TO STRIKE

If Respondent fails to cure her pleading defects by a time and date certain, Petitioner asks the Court to strike the portions of Respondent's pleading that are inappropriate, as reflected in Exhibit A.

ATTORNEY'S FEES

Due to Respondent's filing of a pleading in violation of the Texas Family Code, it was necessary for Petitioner to secure the services of the below attorneys to prepare and prosecute this Motion. Judgment for attorney's fees, expenses, and costs for the preparation of this Motion should be granted against Respondent and in favor of Petitioner for the use and benefit of Petitioner's attorneys and should be

Page 2 of 46 paid directly to Petitioner's attorneys, who may enforce the judgment in the attorneys' own names. Petitioner requests post-judgment interest as allowed by law.

PRAYER

For these reasons, Petitioner asks the Court to grant his Special Exceptions and Motion to Strike, award attorney's fees, and grant him any further relief to which he may be justly entitled.

7 THE COURT: Let me see it, please. 8 MR. NACE: Yes, Your Honor. 9 (Document present to the Court) 10 THE COURT: Mr. Nace, I have what appears 11 to be a Xerox copy. I don't see a clerk's stamp on here 12 anywhere.

13 MR. NACE: Your Honor, we have the original 14 with another witness. That is a copy. 15 THE COURT: Why isn't the original of a 16 marriage license on file with my clerk? 17 MR. NACE: From what I understand, to file 18 it that was their responsibility through her family. But 19 the original does exist. 20 THE COURT: Where is the original? 21 MR. NACE: My client can better answer that 22 judge through another witness. Because of things missing 23 in this case, our chain of custody, we want to make sure 24 we're keeping things intact. 25 THE COURT: His objection is sustained at

3 THE COURT: Sure. 4 Q. (By Mr. Nace) sir, re-handing you this particular 5 exhibit, when you perform these weddings before, do you

6 typically sign off as a witness having performed a 7 wedding ceremony?

B MR. CORBITT: Please the Court, objection 9 as to any relevancy regarding what he's done in the past. 10 We're only worried about

11 THE COURT: Overruled. 12 INTERPRETER: Can you repeat the question?

13 Q. (By Mr. Nace) Yes. With regard to the eight to 14 ten wedding ceremonies Mr. Ghaffari has performed in his 15 years, does he typically sign and certify that the 16 parties were united in marriage?

17 A. Usually I write the name of the couple, the 18 people who are getting married, in the marriage portion 29 and all the information in a piece of paper and they sign 20 it.

21 Q. And there's no question in Mr. Ghaffari•s mind

22 that this piece of paper that I offered as Exhibit 1 is 23 his signature and nobody else's?

24 A. This is my signature for sure. 25 MR. NACE: Pass the witness.

1 period. This child does not leave the United States, 2 period. 3 Mother is ordered to continue her 4 psychological course of treatment with Dr. Woods, if that 5 involves counseling, medication, or whatever, and to 6 abide by and follow all of his orders and instructions. 7 Mr. Gordon is a forensic guy, you can continue with him, 8 or not. I'm not ordering you to. I'm not forbidding you 9 to. Dr. Woods is the main primary treatment guy. You 10 will continue in your treatment with Dr. Woods. 11 Everyone in this room understand that if 12 somebody has a chemical imbalance in their brain, I don't 13 hold it against them if they are dealing with it 14 appropriately. 15 Now, I've got an eight-month-old kid. And 16 Mr. Nace, just so you'll know, while this testimony about 17 another wedding is interesting, even assuming for the 18 sake of discussion that some ceremony was performed, that 19 license isn't on file, so I don't have a valid prior 20 ceremonial marriage. I may or I may not have a valid 21 informal marriage and that would certainly be some 22 evidence of it. But you're miles from at the very least 23 cohabitation. So at least today, I'm not -- don't have 24 any concerns about there being a bigamy situation. That 25 doesn't mean there isn't one. I'm just saying today, in

A SUIT TO DECLARE VOID § IN THE DISTRICT COURT THE MARRIAGE OF § § ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND § AND § 417TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT MARYAM FARAHMAND § § AND IN THE INTEREST OF § , A CHILD § COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS

PETITIONER'S SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND MOTION TO STRIKE RESPONDENT'S "FIRST MOTION TO COMPEL, MOTION FOR SANCTIONS FOR EGREGIOUS CONDUCT BY A LICENSED ATTORNEY AND HIS CLIENT PARTY AND MOTION FOR INTERIM ATTORNEY FEES AND EXPENSES"

Petitioner, Roger A. Farahmand, specially excepts to Respondent, Maryam Farahmand's "First Motion to Compel, Motion for Sanctions for Egregious Conduct by a Licensed Attorney and His Client Party and Motion for Interim Attorney Fees and Expenses" and asks the Court to order Respondent to replead and cure her pleading defects, and if Respondent fails to cure her pleading defects, Petitioner asks the Court to enter an order striking Respondent's pleading.

SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS

Petitioner specially excepts to Respondent's "First Motion to Compel, Motion for Sanctions for Egregious Conduct by a Licensed Attorney and His Client Party and Motion for Interim Attorney Fees and Expenses" because it

PETITIONER'S SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND MOTION TO STRIKE RESPONDENT'S 1 "FIRST MOTION TO COMPEL" Page 1 of 21

contains personal, private and inflammatory allegations and statements, and evidentiary "facts," all of which is inappropriate and in violation of the Texas Family Code's prohibition of the inclusion of evidentiary facts within pleadings. Texas Family Code § 6.402(c) states, "The court shall strike an allegation of evidentiary fact from the pleadings on the motion of a party or on the court's own motion."

The portions of Respondent's pleading to which Petitioner specially excepts are too voluminous to include in the body of this motion. For the Court's ease of review, a true and correct copy of Respondent's pleading has been attached to this Motion as Exhibit A. The portions Petitioner believes are inappropriate and in violation of Texas Family Code § 6.402(c) have been redacted by Petitioner, and Petitioner requests that the Court order Respondent to cure said pleading defects by a time and date certain

MOTION TO STRIKE

If Respondent fails to cure her pleading defects by a time and date certain, Petitioner asks the Court to strike the portions of Respondent's pleading that are inappropriate, as reflected in Exhibit A.

ATTORNEY'S FEES

Due to Respondent's filing of a pleading in violation of the Texas Family Code, it was necessary for Petitioner to secure the services of the below attorneys

PETITIONER'S SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND MOTION TO STRIKE RESPONDENT'S 2 "FIRST MOTION TO COMPEL" Page 2 of 21

to prepare and prosecute this Motion. Judgment for attorney's fees, expenses, and costs for the preparation of this Motion should be granted against Respondent and in favor of Petitioner for the use and benefit of Petitioner's attorneys and should be paid directly to Petitioner's attorneys, who may enforce the judgment in the attorneys' own names. Petitioner requests post-judgment interest as allowed by law.

PRAYER

For these reasons, Petitioner asks the Court to grant his Special Exceptions and Motion to Strike, award attorney's fees, and grant him any further relief to which he may be justly entitled.

Respectfully submitted,

ROGER FARAHMAND’S RECORD TAB 17

NO. 417-56531-2013

A SUIT TO DECLARE VOID § IN THE DISTRICT COURT THE MARRIAGE OF § § ROGER ARASH FARAHMAND § AND § 417TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT MARYAM FARAHMAND § § AND IN THE INTEREST OF § ., A CHILD § COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS

PETITIONER'S SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND MOTION TO STRIKE RESPONDENT'S "FIRST AMENDED ANSWER TO ORIGINAL PETITION TO DECLARE MARRIAGE VOID"

Petitioner, Roger A. Farahmand, specially excepts to Respondent, Maryam Farahmand's "First Amended Answer to Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void" and asks the Court to order Respondent to replead and cure her pleading defects, and if Respondent fails to cure her pleading defects, Petitioner asks the Court to enter an order striking Respondent's pleading.

SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS

Petitioner specially excepts to Respondent's "First Amended Answer to Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void" because it contains personal, private and inflammatory allegations and statements, and evidentiary "facts," all of which is inappropriate and in violation of the Texas Family Code's prohibition of the inclusion of evidentiary facts within pleadings. Texas Family Code § 6.402(c)

PETITIONER'S SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND MOTION TO STRIKE RESPONDENT'S Page 1 of 131 "FIRST AMENDED ANSWER TO ORIGINAL PETITION TO DECLARE MARRIAGE VOID"

states, "The court shall strike an allegation of evidentiary fact from the pleadings on the motion of a party or on the court's own motion."

The portions of Respondent's pleading to which Petitioner specially excepts are too voluminous to include in the body of this motion. For the Court's ease of review, a true and correct copy of Respondent's pleading has been attached to this Motion as Exhibit A. The portions Petitioner believes are inappropriate and in violation of Texas Family Code § 6.402(c) have been redacted by Petitioner, and Petitioner requests that the Court order Respondent to cure said pleading defects by a time and date certain.

MOTION TO STRIKE

If Respondent fails to cure her pleading defects by a time and date certain, Petitioner asks the Court to strike the portions of Respondent's pleading that are inappropriate, as reflected in Exhibit A.

ATTORNEY'S FEES

Due to Respondent's filing of a pleading in violation of the Texas Family Code, it was necessary for Petitioner to secure the services of the below attorneys to prepare and prosecute this Motion. Judgment for attorney's fees, expenses, and costs for the preparation of this Motion should be granted against Respondent and in favor of Petitioner for the use and benefit of Petitioner's attorneys and should be paid directly to Petitioner's attorneys, who may enforce the judgment in the

PETITIONER'S SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS AND MOTION TO STRIKE RESPONDENT'S Page 2 of 132 "FIRST AMENDED ANSWER TO ORIGINAL PETITION TO DECLARE MARRIAGE VOID"

attorneys' own names. Petitioner requests post-judgment interest as allowed by law.

PRAYER

For these reasons, Petitioner asks the Court to grant his Special Exceptions and Motion to Strike, award attorney's fees, and grant him any further relief to which he may be justly entitled.

IN THE MATTER OF § IN THE DISTRICT COURT THE MARRIAGE OF § § ROGERARASHFARAHMAND § AND § 401ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT MARY AM FARAHMAND § § AND IN THE INTEREST OF § § COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS A CHILD §

MARYAM FARAHMAND'S FIRST AMENDED ANSWER TO ORIGINAL PETITION TO DECLARE MARRIAGE VOID

MARYAM FARAHMAND, Counter-Petitioner, files this Answer to Roger Arash Farahmand's Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void and in the Alternative First Amended Petition for Divorce. 1. General Denial

MARYAM FARAHMAND enters a general denial of the claims made in Roger Arash Farahmand's Original Petition to Declare Marriage Void and in the Alternative First Amended Petition for Divorce and all amendments thereto. 2. Defenses

MARYAM FARAHMAND and ROGER FARAHMAND entered into a legitimate marriage on or about July 28,2012. MARYAM FARAHMAND was not previously married at the time she entered into the marriage

I EXHIBIT

A Page 5 of 13 relationship with ROGER FARAHMAND. Prior to her relationship with ROGER FARAHMAND, MARYAM FARAHMAND and Arnir Bagherkalantari had a dating relationship in 2009. Contrary to ROGER FARAHMAND's claim:

A. No Prior Marriage

1. Although a marnage license was issued to Maryam

Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari in December of 2009, Maryam Farahmand and Arnir Bagherkalantari did not get married to each other (formally or informally) within 31 days after the issuance of the license on December 12, 2009. Thus, the marriage license expired pursuant to Section 2.201 of the Texas Family Code (issued prior to September 1, 2013). Further, no license was filed with the Collin County Clerk at any time after December 12, 2009.

2. A formal wedding ceremony did not occur between

Maryam Farahmand and Arnir Bagherkalantari. In fact, Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not cohabitate for more than two weeks, had a fight on the night of the engagement party, dated sporadically, and ended their dating relationship/engagement completely in August of2010.

3. Assuming, arguendo, that a marrtage ceremony had

actually occurred on December 12, 2009, the person reflected on the

Page 6 of 13 "marriage license" as the person performing the ceremony was identified as P.H.D. (sic) in economics. Pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Texas Family Code, such a person is not authorized to conduct a marriage ceremony in Texas. Any such marriage would be invalid and the person performing the ceremony could be charged with a misdemeanor offense.

B. No Prior Informal/Common Law Marriage

I. Additionally, should Roger Farahmand attempt to claim

an informal marriage between Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari, it has been more than two years since Maryam Farahmand and Arnir Bagherkalantari ended their dating relationhip/engagement and no proceedings were initiated within that two-year time period to prove an "informal marriage". Therefore, it is a rebuttable presumption that Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not enter into an agreement to be married pursuant to Section 2.401 of the Texas Family Code. Additionally, neither Maryam Farahmand nor Amir Bagherkalantari are and/or have claimed an informal marriage between them. Therefore, Roger Farahmand would not be a proper party to make an informal marriage claim.

2. Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not

intend to have a present, immediate, and permanent marital relationship prior to or at any time after December of 2009, nor did they agree to be husband

Page 7 of 13 and wife. Small v. McMaster, 352 S.W.3d 280, 283 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2011, pet. Denied). An agreement to be married at some time in the future is insufficient to show that a marriage was "present and immediate". See Aguilar v. State, 715 S.W.2d 645, 648(Tex.Crim.App.1986); Texas Employers' Ins. v. Borum, 834 S.W.2d 395, 399 n.3 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1992, writ denied).

3. Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not

live together as husband and wife prior to or at any time after December of 2009.

4. Maryam Farahmand and Amir Bagherkalantari did not

represent to others in Texas that they were married prior to or at any time after December of2009.

5. The ceremony that Maryam participated in did not

constitute a Muslim marriage ceremony because it lacked the requirements of a written contract, among many other requirements, and did not constitute a "Shia" marriage because the parties did not intend it, and it lacked the requirements for one. The Motion for Partial Summary Judgment and it's arguments are incorporated by reference in this Amended Answer.

In addition, Roger Farahmand asserts this claim, not based in fact and law and it is sanctionable, or in the alternative, Respondent Maryam Farahmand is entitled to a declaratory judgment and attorney fees.

It was necessary for MARYAM FARAHMAND to secure the services of RobertS. Widner of the Widner Family Law Group, a licensed attorney, to prepare and defend this suit. To effect an equitable division of the estate of the parties and as a part of the division, and for services rendered in connection with conservatorship and support of the child, judgment for attorney's fees, expenses, and costs through trial and appeal should be granted against Counter-Respondent an din favor of Counter-Petitioner for the use and benefit of Counter-Petitioner's attorney and be ordered paid directly to the Counter-Petitioner's attorney, who may enforce the judgment in the attorney's own name. Counter-Petitioner requests post-judgment interest as allowed by law. 4. Prayer

MARYAM FARAHMAND prays that Petitioner take nothing by his suit, that the Court deny Petitioner's request to declare the parties' marriage void, that the Court affirm MARYAM FARAHMAND's defenses, and that MARYAM FARAHMAND be granted all relief requested in this Answer.

MARYAM FARAHMAND prays for attorney's fees, expenses, costs, and interest as requested above.
