Husband Says Wife Is Tracking Him Through His Echo Dot — And Won’t Return His Passport

In this #FamilyCourt hearing, a divorcing husband returns to court over a dispute involving personal property, his missing passport, and an Echo Dot that he says contains his personal information. The husband tells the court that his passport was previously believed to be inside a safe, but when his wife opened the safe during a property inspection, the passport was no longer there. He asks the court to allow him to search for it if it cannot be located. The more unusual dispute involves an Echo Dot. The husband insists that he wants the specific device because he says it contains his information. His wife's side offers to buy him a new Echo Dot, but he maintains that he wants his own device. His attorney also raises concerns about the husband's personal information remaining accessible through the device and asks that it be returned or forensically wiped. The judge ultimately rules that the husband can retrieve the Echo Dot, while allowing the wife to remove her personal information from it. The judge also gives the husband an opportunity to search for his passport if his wife cannot locate it beforehand. The hearing also covers #DivorceProceedings, #PersonalProperty, and competing claims over property remaining at the former marital residence, including 30–40 boxes of belongings. The judge orders the wife to retrieve those belongings within approximately 45 days. #FamilyCourt #DivorceCourt #FamilyLaw #DivorceCase #PersonalProperty #CourtroomDrama #JudgeRuling #JudgeDecision #PropertyDispute #RealCourtCases Disclaimer This video is presented for commentary, educational, and documentary purposes only.
