American actress Keshia Knight Pulliam
has accused her ex-husband Ed Hartwell of plotting to harm her and engage in
unusual conduct in an attempt to have her abort/miscarry her unborn child, as
reported by usmagazine.com.
Because the divorce and child support
laws heavily favor woman, this type of stuff happens all the time.
Hartwell filed for divorce at the end of
July after the two were married for just seven months. In an interview with pagesix.com, he is reported to have claimed
that 37 year old Keshia wanted a baby really fast but he suggested that they
focus on each other first before having a baby. Looks like Pulliam likes the anchor baby
idea.
Hartwell
requests paternity test
Incidentally, the former linebacker
asked for a paternity test when he came to know of Keshia’s unborn child and
have even moved out of the house. However, he later returned home to support
her. Hartwell claimed that he couldn’t say she had been unfaithful but was sure
she wanted to get pregnant and therefore asked for a paternity test to make
sure it was his child. Atlanta, GA divorce lawyers point out that this issue
sometimes crops up in the case of short term marriages.
Pulliam
seeks restraining order
Keshia Knight is reported to have filed
the petition claiming that Hartwell plotted to harm her pregnancy in the
Superior Court of Fulton County in Georgia. She also claimed that he mentally
and emotionally abused her. She also alleges to have received threatening
messages from an unknown number in Las Vegas, where the former NFL linebacker
is from.
In response to his request for a
paternity test Keshia has also requested a prenatal paternity test in the court
documents and has sought a restraining order against Hartwell since she fears
his violent and erratic behavior. So she married a violent and erratic person?
She claimed that her fears were
reasonably justifiable and also sought that he turn over any firearms
registered in their name to the local police department. Georgia divorce
attorneys explain that such petitions are usually permitted depending on
various circumstances.
Georgia
mansion goes in fire sale
Hartwell filed for divorce seven months
after their marriage, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’, which is accepted in
the state, say Atlanta, GA divorce lawyers. Just two days after serving Keshia
with divorce papers, Hartwell is reported to have sold his Georgia mansion at a
loss of $580k late last month. The economy is not that impressive. Because of
high taxes and job killing regulations, not too many Americans are doing well.
Celebrity watchers question the timing
of the sale since Hartwell owned the home long before he got involved with and
married Keshia. Maybe it’s the potential legal expenses that the former NFL
linebacker is gearing up for.
Meanwhile, nydailynews.com reports that Hartwell has
refuted all allegations of plotting to harm Keshia’s unborn child and said that
she should be ashamed of herself for making such claims. He also dismissed rumors
doing the rounds that he was trying to profit from their short-lived marriage. He
certainly is not going to profit and it seems he made the wrong choice in who
to marry or the fact that he chose to get married at all.
As is evident from the above story,
divorces can get complicated. If you find a potential
roadblock in your divorce, make sure to entrust your case to a Georgia divorce lawyer since the legal
complications are many. This is the ideal way to protect your interests.
