Chauvin's wife...files for divorce.
 

Interesting.

I'm not sure about what ex's can/cannot say in regards to legal court testimony...but who knows what we might learn.

Could be that a whole new can of worms...is about to be opened.


Chauvin's Wife Files For Divorce (poke here)


:popcorn:



.

Probably to protect assets as there will be civil lawsuits.
I've noticed that both of their names are on their home in Windermere, FL.

It would be of no benefit attempting to protect their assets. The prosecutors will most likely follow the money trail which will be quite evident by whatever distribution of marital assets BEFORE the filing of divorce. I don't know about their financial assets but I'm 100% certain the legal fees about to be incurred from his pending legal case will most likely consume much of it before any civil action will be started. After all he was a 19 year civil service veteran with a boatload of complaints. How much savings could they have?

Perhaps the civil suit may come from former victims and from George Floyd's families against the municipality that kept on this police officer with many complaints. Their will be a need to answer the question of WHY keep this person on the police department?

Just my highly educated personal opinion.

I'm sure they have an attorney skilled at this journey of protecting assets.

So true.

So much for "standing by your man"

I was thinking the same thing.

That was my immediate thought as well.

She did not waste any time. What this man did was reprehensible and he deserves what punishment is meted out. However, these protests turned ugly and are also reprehensible. The opportunists decided to destroy and steal private property. Civility has gone out the window.

Is this rotten cop a neighbor of George Zimmerman??

Doesn't matter who's name are on the house, Florida is an equitable distribution state. They both are equal owner's of the home. That can be effected by the length of the marriage.

This could have been the last straw in the relationship, also?

There won’t be any money to follow. Essentially all their assets will go to paying his attorney. Floyd’s family will get a giant payout from the city, but not from Chauvin, who will be broke and will forfeit his pension. I suspect he and his wife had been fighting anyway, and she figured this is a bad time to get a divorce, but better late than never. It’s not like he’s going to be able to pay any alimony or child support.

Meanwhile, what about the domestic terrorists burning our buildings and trashing police cars and looting and endangering? Can they be identified? Can they be punished? I’d like to see everyone involved in these violent “protests” required to pay reparations to the State and reimburse those they have harmed, whatever their ethnicity. I hate what was done to George Floyd, but that does not justify the destruction and terrorism. The laws should not be suspended just because people see their “rage” as a great chance to loot a store with a get out of jail free card. Good thing felons can now vote, right?

Now that was my first thought. In fact, the process of drawing up the divorce may have been in progress before the incident.

Very possible.

She could have just announced the divorce and been done with it, but by going the extra distance in stating that her sympathies are with Mr. Floyd and his family/loved ones...is she hinting that she's not surprised it happened? :shrug:

By the look in Chauvin's eyes, I don't think he'd think twice about abusing his wife. Maybe she saw this as a good opportunity to rid herself of him forever.

Distance herself and kids (?) from a lifetime of Harassment.

Can't blame her. Must be frightening to live with a cold blooded murderer.

why is a crooked cop worth standing by? run for your life!

Maybe Mrs. Chauvin has been the recipient of his brutality at home. I would put money on it. I doubt, he is calm, attentative and loving at home, then goes to work and has it in him to kneel on someone's neck until they die.

You are, who you are.

We look like a 3rd world country. The looters will be heroes.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this was just the last straw in their marriage.

I hope not. Media needs to speak up about the horror of the crime and the horror of how some went beyond protest and honest follow through to see justice....to raw violence and looting. This isn’t what MLK had in mind.

Most want peaceful co-existence and rule of law.

Standing by a murder?
 

Why should she stand by a murderer?
As far as protecting assets. The event happened during their marriage. So a civil lawsuit will look at their assets at the time of the event. Not sure of Minnesota laws but looks like she will get nothing if a lawsuit is successful.

Who knows. There was probably a lawyer involved who wrote the statement distancing herself from her husband. Is this how she feels? Who knows.

Chauvin
 

If he is like this in public, I can’t even imagine what she endures at home 😢

All you posters discussing his private life, like you know everything. You never even heard of his name until a week ago. Now, he was the worst husband, wife beater in the world, according to some dumb poster on a message board in a retirement community in Florida. You people should get a LIFE!!!

Maybe this was the last straw for her.

At this time we know nothing about their private lives but seem to have chosen to "assume" that he had just as little compassion within his personal relations as he showed for the person that he arrested. We will see. What is obvious is that much of the retaliation (if you can call it that) is not against the authorities actions but an excuse to vandalise and steal. That photo of two women coming out of a store loaded with personal clothing just about sums it up -- a mindset that says "here is a singular opportunity to get some material items for free".

Missing the big picture?
 

Something that wasn’t mentioned in this dissection was. The money.
In that, how in the world does a policeman make enough money to have a home in the Minneapolis area and in Windermere, Florida.
My brother is a cop. They don’t make a heck of a lot of money.
My bet is Ms. Chauvin is the main breadwinner and she is rightfully saving herself and her children. IMHO of course.

this guy was not a man. good men don't do crazy stupid things

just what i was thinking

The restraint technique used by the officer is legal in Minn. The suspect had a record of armed robbery and drug dealing. So the facts will be sorted out by the legal system and hopefully justice will be done.

Mrs. Chauvin has had a more challenging life than probably any of us who use this site. She is a Hmong born in Laos during wartime, lived in a refugee camp in Thailand and much more. She is an amazing and giving person who I deeply respect after reading her history. Refugee once shamed for her looks vying to be the first Hmong Mrs. Minnesota – Twin Cities

Really?

The restraint that was used to end George Floyd's life is legal in Minn?

That may be true but almost 9 minutes of a restraint while the suspect is crying out because he wasn't able to breathe?

To me, this poor excuse for a policeman looked like he was enjoying himself. I can't wait to hear how he enjoys being in prison.

So, by your statement of "hopefully justice will be done" you are of course meaning that justice for George Floyd will be done, right?
