As previously reported, Mitt Romney’s sister-in-law, Carrie Elizabeth Romney, was found dead near a parking garage in Valencia, California.
Authorities responded to a call on Friday night on reports of a dead woman near a parking garage.
The woman, later identified as former Senator Mitt Romney’s sister-in-law, Carrie Romney, either jumped or fell off a five-story structure near the Valencia Town Center mall.
The 64-year-old died on scene.
Carrie Romney was married to former Senator Mitt Romney’s older brother, George Scott Romney, 81.
According to divorce records obtained by The New York Post, George Romney was trying to make sure that his wife Carrie got awarded nothing in a bitter divorce battle.
George Romney, a prominent lawyer with a very powerful and politically connected brother, sought to block his wife from receiving spousal support and said they had no shared property.
The two were married for 8 years, and their divorce was not final at the time Carried plunged to her death.
Carrie Romney’s death is still under investigation.
Police do not suspect foul play.
The New York Post reported:
Mitt Romney’s brother filed for divorce just four months before his estranged wife plunged to her death from a California parking garage – and tried to make sure courts awarded her nothing in the split, according to documents.
George Scott Romney, 81, filed the case against 64-year-old Carrie Elizabeth Romney on June 12, citing “irreconcilable differences,” according to court documents obtained by The Post.
The documents suggest Romney, a prominent lawyer, sought to make sure his estranged wife was awarded nothing by the courts.
Despite being married more than eight years, starting in 2016, he said that they had no shared property that needed to be divided by the courts.
Romney also sought to “terminate the court’s ability to award support” to either person, court documents show.
This is Utah..the laws protect anything male..which is why Josh Powell was free to murder and burn his own sons after his wife went “missing”..
Again, show me your proof.
By the way, I learned a few things in all of that.
1) There is bias in the courts against husbands/fathers, but the main problem for the men is that we don’t start the divorce war (women are usually the ones who file) and the women have all of their legal war plan ducks in a row often before the men know about the divorce. If I had gotten past the woe-is-me stage sooner and had therefore been quicker to start fighting back (legally) with the level of passion she was already doing, it wouldn’t have lasted as long (3 years) and I might have won sooner.
2) Don’t put as much hope/faith in your attorney as in the Lord. Yes, be sure to give him the details and honor his advice. But don’t find comfort in the legal steps you hope to win. Always and forever, the battle belongs to the Lord.
3) After you’ve been in it long enough to see how the legal steps work, be willing to fire your attorney and go pro we if he’s not doing anything useful. I fired the first one and hired another who was equally worthless in every way except tallying up my bill. When I ran out of money I had to learn how to represent myself (pro se) and that’s when I fairly quickly won (thank you Jesus). One way I won was to create bogus legal activity such as correspondence with my ex’s attorney and run up her legal bill (but not mine because of representing myself). That made my ex run out of money even with the $1,175/month child support I was paying her (two decades ago that was a lot of money). So she lost her attorney too: All of a sudden the judge figured out a way to bring the case to a close when neither of his lawyer buddies were making any money from me. He ruled in my favor in part because her legal case was based on her venom and not on merits; because I was better at a strategy, because I was the better parent in the end, because my ex made a boneheaded decision, but mainly because I was as the one daily praying on o the Lord.
4) In the end does it really matter what the court does? Better is one day in God’s court than thousands elsewhere. My ex was successful in destroying my wealth and temporarily destroying my relationship with one of my kids. My relationships are restored, more kids (now grown) than I had before, my wife and I are well off enough to put our kids through college and trade school (the ones who made a career plan first like the nurse and the aircraft mechanic), and yet my wife retired in her mid 50’s and I’m quasi-retired in my mid 50’s. Neither of us old enough to collect SS. But comfortable enough to tone down on earning a paycheck and spend more time volunteering in church to give back to the Lord who has blessed us so much.
If I could travel back in time I’d tell myself not to fear the courts’ bias against men. Trust the Lord and fight back like a prince of The Almighty.
We’re very sorry that your own life has been so disappointing and led you to such a jaundiced view.
Fortunately it hasn’t been so for many of us.
Nope.
Ow educated about the true nature of women. Biblically speaking and staristics.
You are one of the few lucky ones.
Just do a search-and-replace and change “men” to “women”. The result also would be true.
Could be a situation similar to RFK Jr goading his wife into suicide.
Well, I’m one of those women you appear to denigrate.
But my husband seems to have been happy for the past 32 years...
Thank the Lord I am not married to you. LOL
If you can’t provide proof to substantiate your position, that’s going to be a problem in a lot more than marriage.
Now that is a testimonial worth reading, slowly and carefully - for many reasons. There is the sad spectacle of SOP lawyering. And, even more important, your spiritual trail.
Kudos.
