A domestic dispute took an unlikely turn on Wednesday when a magistrate ordered a woman and her two children to remain out of their Charity, Essequibo residence.
Attempts to persuade Magistrate Sunil Scarce to let them remain in the house because of its proximity to the children’s school and the woman’s place of work, and the fact that the woman has no relatives on the Essequibo Coast failed.
This decision by the Magistrate has enraged some legal practitioners.
The woman and her two children have since moved to Georgetown where they are residing with a relative. However, the property from which they have been evicted is owned by the woman and her husband.
According to the woman, she and her husband have been married for the past 15 years. The woman claimed that her husband has a history of being unfaithful and his recent alleged sexual relationship with an employee caused the current dispute.
She related that upon confronting her husband on the issue he became abusive and there she took the decision to end the marriage. The woman obtained legal advice from Legal Aid and sought protection and occupation orders.
Trying to safeguard herself and children, the woman spent Tuesday night by a stranger in Lima. However, during the Court proceedings the following day only the protection order was taken into consideration.
Her husband was ordered to stay 300 feet away from her and the children. But, the woman and her children were the ones ordered out the house.
The woman claimed that she pleaded with the Court to overturn that decision since she only spent the night in Lima for safety.
She further claimed that her husband withdrew all the money from the bank account. As such, she would have to borrow money to travel to Essequibo on Monday for the next court hearing. In addition, she does not have money to purchase food and her children are not going to school.
