[00:03:27]And uh meanwhile I had a lawyer working with me and never could get a hold of her. So probably a while later that's when the judge gave me the divorce without even consent because we couldn't do their homework.

[00:31:37]>> Correct.

[00:31:38]>> And your name is on this warranty deed on exhibit two.

[00:32:39]>> Objectively, you're >> sustained only. Okay.

[00:33:07]>> And is it true that he's going to get a divorce until 2005?

[00:33:14]Correct.

[00:33:15]>> Were you surprised to see that the two of you are listed as married on the dean in Oklahoma?

[00:33:26]>> Yes, it did surprise me.

[00:33:28]>> So, what was the purpose of taking him with you to Oklahoma to purchase this property?

[00:33:37]>> As an interpreter.

[00:34:00]>> I didn't I that surprised me. So you you could not could you speak English at that time?

[00:34:14]>> No.

[00:34:14]>> Are you able to speak English now?

[00:34:19]>> Very little.

[00:34:19]>> Okay. So when did you realize as to what Mr. Sanchez had done by adding himself as your husband on the Oklahoma properties?

[00:34:40]I found out when the papers arrived afterward, like after a month or 30 days.

[00:34:48]>> Okay. So, when you found out, were you upset to see him listed as your husband on that property on the Oklahoma properties?

[00:34:58]>> See?

[00:34:58]>> Yes.

[00:34:59]>> So, then what did you do about it?

[00:35:04]I confronted him >> and he told me to finish paying it off and then it would get changed.

[00:35:16]>> Okay.

[00:35:19]>> Because he's married. He was married >> to someone else, right?

[00:35:26]>> To someone else.

[00:35:27]>> So, did you ask him to undo it and to change it?

[00:35:35]Yes.

[00:35:36]>> So if we look at exhibit Laura exhibit 11 which is the equip claim transfer.

[00:35:44]So did you transfer it in 2003 to yourself and your daughter?

[00:35:58]>> A son.

[00:35:59]>> He was married.

[00:36:01]>> Okay. and the two of you were not married yet.

[00:36:05]So >> now >> on exhibit 11, the property, the three property, three Oklahoma properties are listed and it's a quick claim deed from him and you to you and your daughter. Is that right?

[00:36:22]>> Correct.

[00:36:26]>> How did you pay for these properties in Oklahoma?

[00:36:48]The property was bought owner to owner and it was paid. There were receipts.

[00:36:53]Sometimes I would pay cash. Sometimes I would buy a money orders. Sometimes I would buy checks from the bank of of Maria.

[00:37:00]>> But how did you come up with this money?

[00:37:17]That money I got it. It wasn't just mine. It was my daughter's father's her father died >> in November of 81 or December. I don't really remember but it was in 81. So exhibit three under guardianship and life insurance are you the funds you just discussed and just testify to are they related to this exhibit the life insurance of Brenda's father?

[00:37:53]>> Yes. Correct.

[00:37:55]>> And it was approximately $22,000 that was invested at the time of it was a child. Correct. Correct.

[00:38:08]Now, in regard to um in regard to Carolton, how did you pay for Carolton?

[00:38:34]Washington >> financing through a bank. At that time it was Washington.

[00:38:42]>> Then it became Chase >> and I kept paying through them.

[00:38:48]>> Did you pay a down payment? If so, where did that come from?

[00:39:03]Part of it was still from those savings that I had. I never misused those funds >> and you heard testimony from Mr. Sanchez that he contributed to the Carolton property um by making or contributing funds. Is that true? Is there any truth?

[00:39:30]>> No.

[00:39:32]>> No, they're all lies.

[00:39:35]>> So, he never helped you pay make the payments for property?

[00:39:42]>> Never.

[00:39:46]Not even the water bill, the light bill, or gas bill.

[00:39:51]>> Everything's under my name.

[00:39:55]>> Is it Is it true that the two of you took out a loan using the Carolton property?

[00:40:06]>> See?

[00:40:06]>> Yes.

[00:40:07]>> Why did the two of you take out a loan on the Carolton property?

[00:40:13]Fore speech.

[00:40:42]because I didn't want to refinance. It was coming up time to refinance and I asked if we could take money out on a loan and then that was being paid off and then when the property was sold I paid off the loan and that paid off the property in Carolton. It was never with his money. I have proof.

[00:41:09]Okay. Now, in regards to the properties in Oklahoma, he testified that he contributed by uh by building a house, by helping to build a house. Is there any truth to that?

[00:41:28]>> There's things that were built. Yes.

[00:41:31]>> But the the property, the land where the house was built, that was sold. Is that correct?

[00:41:39]Correct.

[00:41:40]>> So the other two pieces of property in Oklahoma, did he make any contributions to that?

[00:41:47]>> Never. No.

[00:41:50]>> As far as the other two properties, is one of them a building? Is that correct?

[00:41:57]>> Commercial building.

[00:41:58]>> Okay.

[00:42:00]And the other one is a 60 acres.

[00:42:02]Correct.

[00:42:04]>> Correct.

[00:42:04]>> Okay. Is it true that you ran a restaurant in that building?

[00:42:11]>> Correct.

[00:42:11]>> But not anymore.

[00:42:14]>> No.

[00:42:15]>> What did he help you with the restaurant when it was open?

[00:42:23]>> Economically money? No.

[00:42:34]to clean on weekends because that's when he was there. He always worked here.

[00:42:45]>> Okay. Now, um, as far as what is what is what is left, uh, in terms of the properties in Oklahoma, um, it was transferred to you and Brenda in 2003 according to this quick claim D.

[00:43:13]And has it ever been changed or modified since 2003 when it was put claimed to you and your daughter from Mr. Sanchez?

[00:43:35]>> No, because he was married to someone else. I had to do that.

[00:43:41]Okay.

[00:43:42]>> But was it just because he was married to someone else or was it also because you were not husband and wives?

[00:43:51]>> Sustain only.

[00:43:52]>> Okay.

[00:43:54]Was that the only reason or was there another?

[00:43:59]>> No.

[00:44:02]>> No. Because he was married to someone else. So, >> and And so it was never changed subsequent to 2003.

[00:44:19]>> No.

[00:44:20]>> When you married him in 2008, is there a reason why this wasn't changed?

[00:44:41]No, because he was married and I couldn't. He confused privileges with rights.

[00:44:49]>> Okay. So, please understand my question.

[00:44:51]After you and Mr. Sanchez got married, was there any discussion about changing the clonal property to his name?

[00:45:03]>> No. Why?

[00:45:17]after that it it wasn't an option. He didn't put anything towards it. So why would I change it?

[00:45:27]>> What about the property Carolton? When the two of you got married in 2008, was there any discussion to add his name to the Carolton property?

[00:45:40]>> Not.

[00:45:44]>> No.

[00:45:46]>> Neither because No.

[00:45:49]>> Why? Why wasn't his name added to the Carolton property after you guys got married in 2008?

[00:45:56]>> This What is that?

[00:46:13]After we got married in 2008, we would always have arguments about money. He didn't want to take responsibility and help out with the accounts. We would always fight about money.

[00:46:24]Did he did he ever ask you to add his name to either the Carolton property or the Oklahoma properties?

[00:46:37]>> No.

[00:46:39]>> He knew. No, he never asked me.

[00:46:46]Is it if if you look at our requested leave uh Moreno, we're asking the court to characterize all these properties as separate. Is that what you're asking the court?

[00:47:10]>> I am asking for justice.

[00:47:13]>> Right. But that's the right question.

[00:47:15]You're asking the court to characterize properties as separate because they're purchased prior to your marriage.

[00:47:27]>> Yes.

[00:47:30]>> And are there besides the Carolton property that's and the Oklahoma properties, are there any properties that need to be discussed for division purposes?

[00:47:46]None.

[00:47:48]>> What about your vehicles?

[00:47:50]>> Nothing.

[00:47:51]>> I don't have one.

[00:47:52]>> Okay. Um and what about the the belongings of the furniture in the house? Those are all yours.

[00:48:05]>> It's all mine.

[00:48:11]>> Sorry. I want to add something.

[00:48:19]He doesn't have things. The thing he would always ask before was his bed.

[00:48:28]>> I said, "Take it." I never told him no.

[00:48:30]He was lying when he said I told him no.

[00:48:37]>> Because he left. He didn't let me know ahead of time and tell me I'm going to leave.

[00:48:42]>> Why did he leave?

[00:48:50]>> He never told me. He never told me he was going to leave or why >> you you made allegations of abuse towards Mr. Sanchez. Can you tell the court when the instance of abuse happened?

[00:49:13]toward.

[00:49:14]>> Yes.

[00:49:25]emotional abuse, economical abuse, all kinds.

[00:49:30]>> What about is there any physical abuse?

[00:49:37]>> Just pushing. But to me, that's physical.

[00:49:40]>> And how often would that happen?

[00:49:53]when it was time to make a payment money because he didn't want to pay for what? For example, water does >> for example the accounts it's not easy to manage a house there's the bills for the water light gas >> so you're you're testifying they've never contributed to the expenses sometimes when he wanted, how he wanted, and the amount he wanted.

[00:50:45]>> So, did you depend on him to pay for any of these properties or maintain them?

[00:50:55]>> Not at all.

[00:50:58]>> Charm.

[00:50:58]>> Okay. Um, attorney Madazi, you have 9 minutes and 44 seconds. Attorney Flores, you have 40 seconds.

[00:52:51]Correct. And it wasn't that much. Would you agree with that?

[00:52:59]>> At that time, it was a good amount of money.

[00:55:30]I'm sorry. I said it was because of the relationship or what happened in mine, you know.

[00:55:39]>> But you knew your name was not on the Carolton property. You knew your name was not on the Oklahoma property because you signed a quick claim deed and gave it back to her. So when you married her, why didn't you add your name to these properties?

[00:55:53]Uh that never did occur to me that I needed to do that since it was a husband and wife and it was a it was a joint loan or whatever, you know, that's why.

[01:01:53]2008 she married him. So, in 2003, why did y'all have to do the transfer?

[01:02:00]Um, I think my mom was just looking over her records and noticed that his name was on some of the properties or a property and when she discovered that um I know that came out and they discussed over that and it was a big ordeal and apparently my mom had told her look we're going to go and get this changed because this is witness.

[01:02:28]>> Sure.

[01:02:31]the conversation that you're specifically discussing, were you present for that discussion?

[01:02:38]>> I was still living at home. So, yes, but they got started earlier.

[01:02:43]>> What I'm specifically asking >> that conversation that you're testifying about, were you there for that conversation?

[01:02:50]>> Uh, no. That was between them.

[01:02:53]>> I'm going to object to hearsay or >> sustain.

[01:02:56]>> Okay. So, um, you are aware that you appeared to sign off on the on the on this transfer. Is that correct?

[01:03:06]>> Yes, sir.

[01:03:07]>> And what your mom told you as far as signing off on this was what you already she's a party to the case. I can It's not It can't be here. She party case, right?

[01:03:22]>> Well, I'm actually >> sustain. Okay. Um, >> so what did your mom tell? I'll I'll change it. I'll rephrase. What did your mom tell you? Why would you do this quick thing?

[01:03:33]>> She had told me that she saw that u Mr. Lada's information was on on her property information and she was upset about it. So she wanted to take a legal action and get that switched.

[01:03:52]>> Pass it to Char.

[01:03:53]>> Okay. She's out of time. You have any other questions?

[01:03:58]>> No, you're not.

[01:03:58]>> Okay. Ma'am, you may be excused. Thank you. Council, you have any other witnesses?

[01:04:03]>> No, you're not. I think we're done.

[01:04:05]>> Okay.

[01:04:10]When your client said that she wants the properties to be characterized as separate property, does she mean her separate property?

[01:04:17]>> Right.

[01:04:18]>> Although they were purchased before marriage.

[01:04:22]Well, separate is her marriage.

[01:04:25]>> Separate property before marriage for who?

[01:04:31]>> It's under her name. She bought She bought She purchased this property before she married him while he was married to somebody else.

[01:04:39]>> I guess that's the part where the court is confused. How did she purchase them?

[01:04:44]Are are you saying by that quick claim deed? Well, the Carolton property, your honor, we have the warranty.

[01:04:51]That's exhibit uh two that she purchased on her own.

[01:04:56]>> Well, the Carolton home was purchased in 1998 before marriage, right?

[01:05:00]>> Correct.

[01:05:01]>> And then the deed, >> right? But they purchased the house and >> she purchased herself by herself.

[01:05:14]The de is exhibit two. It's exhibit two on our list of exhibits. Her name is listed on it. Not his name.

[01:05:31]It says grant Maria Rosario.

[01:05:43]Which exhibit do you have that talks about the Carolton home?

[01:05:47]>> I think it's five and six. They your honor, they took out a two loans using that Carolton residence as equity for those two loans.

[01:05:59]>> Let me go back to exhibit two. Hold on one second.

[01:06:14]The deed of trust, exhibit five.

[01:06:21]Um, making sure I'm looking at the right one.

[01:06:28]>> And by two, you I'm talking about our exhibits, too.

[01:06:31]>> Yes, I have yours.

[01:06:33]>> I was comparing it to their exhibit five.

[01:06:37]>> Well, not not a warranty.

[01:06:38]>> Okay, that's where it got >> a phone on the app. That's all. There's no warranty either. Ours is it is it is it is basically showing she purchased the house in 1996 >> and she paid the house off to keep from refinancing.

[01:06:55]>> Exactly. So she took out the loan loan so she could pay it off without without refinancing it.

[01:07:03]>> But your honor, the loan was in both of their names, not just her name.

[01:07:06]>> Right. But a loan itself wouldn't change the character of um property.

[01:07:12]Um okay, that's that one.

[01:07:17]>> Oklahoma.

[01:07:18]>> So let's let's break down Oklahoma because it's three different things going on in like So the 10 acres that was purchased in 1995.

[01:07:27]That the 10 acres was purchased in 1995.

[01:07:30]>> Yes. If I may, the challenge is, your honor, that what we know about these properties is very limited. And the reason it's limited is because they're purchased so many years ago. They were br like in 1990. So, we couldn't get those documents. So, the earliest document that we have is this quick claim deed from 19 uh from I'm sorry, not the quick claim, but the 1995 mortgage, >> a real estate mortgage that was taken on the on the on the Oklahoma property, >> right? With in both their names.

[01:08:03]>> It's on both their names. And this was in 1995. Okay. But we don't have the earlier documents any earlier than that.

[01:08:12]we wouldn't necessarily need it because that wouldn't how would that be her separate property.

[01:08:18]>> Well, it's your separate property, honor, if I may, because um in in exhibit 11, there's a quick claim deed, >> but a quick a quick claim deed doesn't transfer title.

[01:08:30]>> Well, it did here. It did have paid off paid off. that quick plan transfer the the rights and the property to her back to her and her sis and her daughter.

[01:08:41]>> And if I may, I think those documents do exist, which is never got him. She testified she has two big books with all this information. We serve discovery.

[01:08:51]They didn't get this.

[01:08:52]>> I guess I'm still confused because title it's the title of property does not transfer by quick claim D.

[01:09:01]>> Well, the quick claim D here does transfer all the rights. completed. It's transferring everything in for those three properties and it lists those three properties. It says surface and surface rights.

[01:09:15]It's transferring everything over to her. And this was in n 2003 before they were married while he was married to somebody else. So that's why it's separated >> while he was going through a divorce.

[01:09:26]And it was I think sketchy on both of their parts to do it. Um, >> agreed it it was >> I mean it even if he signed off on it, she knew he was married. He knew he was married. So, it is sketchy on both of their ends. I agree with that.

[01:09:44]>> Genuous to say that she had no idea that he was on these deeds when they literally signed on the same page right underneath each other.

[01:09:53]>> Right. But she didn't know any she we know she is on English. that we had to hire an interpreter and at that time she so her position is that he was interpreting for me and I didn't know what he was saying and that he she later found out that he listed his name as husband. She was upset that he did that and so she asked him to change it in 2003.

[01:10:14]>> Yeah. The court is not buying that part.

[01:10:16]I'm not buying that part. Um the home improvements are the improvements there.

[01:10:22]>> No, because that part of land was sold.

[01:10:24]Well, not there currently. Were there improvements made on that property?

[01:10:31]>> Yes, two houses built on that property.

[01:10:35]>> And that's what he said. Let me see.

[01:10:38]Home built on the property. Well, he said improvements on the home. I'm specifically talking about improvements on the home.

[01:10:45]So they they hired people to do the framing on the outside, but I think they both >> built the inside of the building.

[01:10:54]>> Okay.

[01:10:54]>> That's what he thinks. But she claims that he never he never contributed.

[01:11:02]The building that was purchased in the '9s as well before marriage purchased in both their names.

[01:11:16]The 60 acres purchased in the '9s before marriage and purchased husband and wife in their in both their I mean not husband and wife at that time but in both their names.

[01:11:28]>> Yes.

[01:11:30]She says, "No, you want to listen.

[01:11:33]>> Which document should I be looking at for that?" Because the one I saw had both their names on it.

[01:11:39]>> So, if you look at One If you look at um if you look at base label 3 Morin 317 which is under exhibit one there's a warranty deed that only that was where it's listed in 2003 that only goes for her that was purchased from Camila Jones somebody else.

[01:12:23]>> You said exhibit Oh, hold on. Exhibit one.

[01:12:28]>> Yeah, exhibit one is six pages.

[01:12:30]>> Yeah, page labeled Morin 317.

[01:12:35]>> Yeah, there we go. Right there. I have it on the screen.

[01:12:38]>> Okay. I was going to say I don't see that attached to exhibit one.

[01:12:41]>> No, it is. It's It's part of exhibit one and it's sable 317. And on there, she purchased it in 2003 without him without him his name listed. person from a Camila Jones and that's the 60 acres >> but I think the 60 acres was bought in the 90s not >> yeah it was what I saw it said it was purchased in the 90s >> so what's this >> one of the other one >> title be changed >> no no no I'm looking specifically for the 60 acres that was purchased in the '9s not any improvements to it, the 60 acres itself.

[01:13:25]>> The problem is Josh that we don't have we can't associate 60 acres to any of these legal descriptions. We don't know which one it is. That's the challenge.

[01:13:38]So this surface and this surface rights, we don't know if that's the 60 acres.

[01:13:43]>> We're not sure if that's how do we know you know how many acres this is? Is it 60?

[01:13:48]>> I need something a property description that says that. I just can't take their word on that.

[01:13:54]>> All I have is copies of these. I don't have any actual deeds provided.

[01:14:01]>> This is the only deed that we have.

[01:14:05]>> And the quick claim deed. Those are the only two de this deed and so in a quick claim be judge. This is listed too.

[01:14:12]Believe it or not, in the quick claim on their exhibit, this is listed.

[01:14:38]Block four, block six. That's the 10 acres.

[01:14:46]What's what's on the screen? Lot four, block six of Marietta. That's the 10 acres >> you're talking about on this screen, judge.

[01:14:53]>> Yes.

[01:14:54]>> On So on this screen, judge, the three acres that are in controversy are listed. Okay.

[01:14:59]>> Okay.

[01:15:00]>> And so the lot for block 26, I don't know how many acres it is, but the second one, that's the warranty deed that I just showed you on our exhibit.

[01:15:08]Remember I said the base label three whatever it was 34 that's the second one is is in the warranty what where is under her name only I heard testimony I can't remember if it was from her or him but the lot four there was testimony that the lot four block 26 was purchased in 1995 and it was 10 acres.

[01:15:43]>> I don't think that's a problem. They don't He just answered her and said, "I don't know which one is 10 or 60 acres and she claims 62 acres is 1990.

[01:15:55]Yeah, she came from 1990. But the challenge is is it last four block 26 or is it the second one? We're not sure.

[01:16:08]the alleged 60 acres. Is it still in existence?

[01:16:14]>> Is there anything on it?

[01:16:17]>> Just land.

[01:16:18]>> Is this land?

[01:16:21]>> Storage.

[01:16:24]>> And my understanding is that there's a fence that they I think he testified about that the fence and there was a container storage.

[01:16:32]>> Is there anything else on the property?

[01:16:34]Anything else on the property? 60 acres.

[01:16:44]>> He testified that he wants everything to be split down the middle. So, are are you all asking for the sale?

[01:16:57]>> Yes. Unless you willing to buy him out.

[01:17:09]He said the Oklahoma properties value about $1 million, but I need the values on each one of the properties.

[01:17:18]>> We don't have that, judge.

[01:17:24]>> You don't know what it is. You don't even know how big they are. Well, I think one person can get that information >> because that I mean I'm tasked with doing that with property. I have to have values in order to >> we don't even know what size they are.

[01:17:39]That's challen we don't know we can't associate size which you know each each property >> nobody spoke to a a surveyor or anybody in Oklahoma.

[01:17:52]>> My client had to go to Oklahoma to get all the things that we entered as exhibits. Uh, but I don't believe that he obtained any information from a surveyor of the value of the property or that nature.

[01:18:08]>> I I need some values.

[01:18:14]I I need some values.

[01:18:17]Um, yeah, I need values.

[01:18:28]And I had a market analysis that he objected to it. So I just left website that we can't try to trust that.

[01:18:38]>> Well, I need some values before I can give you all a ruling. I have to have values.

[01:18:46]So, the only thing I can do today is um announce on the record that they're divorced, but the ruling itself will be pending under advisement until I get some values as it relates to these properties, >> including Carolton or just Oklahoma.

[01:19:09]>> Well, just the Oklahoma properties. the Carolton property is she proved by clear and convincing evidence so far that that is separate property her separate property.

[01:19:21]>> Um but the rest of them I need some values on them.

[01:19:28]>> So the quick claim where was transfer to her daughter that's not enough they're separate.

[01:19:36]The way that I understand what the quick claim deed is, a quick claim, a quick claim deed does not transfer title.

[01:19:45]So, >> I mean, I unless you want to brief that issue for me, okay, >> to let me know.

[01:19:54]>> If um there's case law out there that says that a quick claim deed on his face transfers title, then the court will entertain it. But as far as what I know, a quick claim deed does not transfer title.

[01:20:08]>> Okay. Your deadline is going to provide you that refri.

[01:20:12]>> Let me see. You all are going to need some time because you have to go and get some research from Oklahoma. How much time do you think you would need? I don't I wouldn't know how much time to assign because I don't know what all you would have to do in Oklahoma. The brief issue, that's simple. I could give you a date for the brief.

[01:20:32]>> I can give you a date. I appreciate it.

[01:20:34]>> Okay. But I was trying to put it in with the >> property values.

[01:20:41]>> The challenge of property values. My client is not in the state to go to Oklahoma and and do anything. That's why I'm limited where I can provide you.

[01:20:50]>> Ma'am, can you could you drive to Oklahoma? See see what you can find?

[01:20:58]And I can have his daughter do the same.

[01:21:00]>> Okay, that'll work.

[01:21:04]What's today? The 13th.

[01:21:08]I'll give you all more than 30 days cuz I don't think this will be something that'll be resolved in 30 days.

[01:21:18]What about that'll give you two months um 60 days? July 13th. And how often brief judge on quick clean bey >> you could just do it all at the same time. That'll be easier.

[01:21:37]>> Yeah.

[01:21:40]So what I'll do is I'll add you all to let's do let's do the 14th. July 14th.

[01:21:49]At what time you're on?

[01:21:51]>> What time works best? I have a trial in the afternoon.

[01:21:59]See, let me see if I can override something.

[01:22:04]One second.

[01:22:12]And also, I didn't see a property division um spreadsheet in your exhibits. Did anybody provide a property division spreadsheet?

[01:22:23]Okay.

[01:22:26]>> Yes. Well, Joey, is it one piece of paper?

[01:22:29]>> Right.

[01:23:21]>> Yeah. Exhibit seven and exhibit 14. So, those are admitted.

[01:23:27]I'm resetting you all for >> That's right. You said mine is seven.

[01:23:40]>> What is six?

[01:23:42]>> Six is >> I don't I don't have one in front of me.
