Wife Wants To Stay In Husband’s House — Judge Orders Her Out!

Judge David Rickie of the 13th Judicial District Court in Kansas presides over a contentious divorce hearing involving Joseph Currier and Amy Currier, as the court considers temporary orders concerning their marital home, finances, and jointly operated business. Amy asks the court for additional time to obtain an attorney and argues that she has been left without income or financial resources after Joseph filed for divorce. She says she helped operate their Fat Cat Customs business and contributed both money and work to the relationship. She also raises allegations about Joseph's conduct during their marriage and says she cannot currently support herself. Joseph's attorney argues that this was a short-term marriage and that the home was purchased by Joseph before the relationship. His attorney also tells the court that Joseph has been paying the mortgage and household expenses while living elsewhere and that he needs to return to the home to restart the business, which operates out of the residence. Judge Rickie ultimately denies Amy's request to delay the temporary-orders hearing. The court orders Joseph restored to possession of the marital residence and sets *October 31, 2026* as the date for Amy to leave the home. The judge also places Joseph in control of the business operations and orders that the parties' personal and business property cannot be sold, destroyed, or disposed of without a further court order. At the same time, Judge Rickie orders Joseph to pay Amy **$1,000 per month in temporary spousal support**, beginning October 31, while encouraging Amy to make plans toward becoming financially self-sufficient. The hearing ends with the court entering temporary orders while the larger divorce and division of marital assets remain to be addressed at a later stage. #JudgeDavidRickie #JosephCurrier #AmyCurrier #DivorceCourt #KansasCourt #13thJudicialDistrictCourt #TemporaryOrders #MaritalHome #SpousalSupport #DivorceHearing *Disclaimer:* This video is presented for commentary, educational, and documentary purposes only.
