Man Sues Ex-Wife for Hiding Voice Recorder in Teddy Bear
Filed under: In The News
Divorce is rarely a pretty thing. Throw in children and custody battles have been known to get pretty ugly (Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, anyone?). Many times, the children end up in the middle, and in at least one instance, so did their toys.
William Lewton of Omaha is suing his ex-wife for allegedly planting a voice recorder inside the head of their daughter's cherished teddy bear! The ex, Dianna Divingnzzo, also allegedly had private investigators tracking Lewton for months trying to turn up dirt on him that would prove him an unfit parent. A judge in the case is throwing out the recordings, citing the Nebraska law making voice recording illegal unless at least one of the parties being recorded authorizes it. And, as you would imagine, neither Lewton nor the bear provided such approval.
What's more, the legal folks think what Dianna did constitutes a felony. Her lawyers, upon hearing of the recorder's discovery, dropped her! Lewton has been provided partial custody allowing him to see and take care of his daughter about 50% of the time. Others, including Lewton's fiancée and several court-appointed workers, have joined him in the lawsuit stating their privacy was violated as well. If his ex-wife ends up in prison for the voice recorder then he may get even more than that!
Moral of the story? Leave the toys, and the kids, out of it.

Students Pop Bubble Wrap World Record
Popping bubble wrap can be pretty addicting and a stress reliever for some, but 366 students in Hawthorne, New Jersey took the activity to a whole new level. So much so that this high school set the world record for the most people popping bubble wrap at one time. And it was all the fun you could have with 8,000 square feet of packaging material lining the gymnasium floor. Guinness World Record's Kimberly Patrick was there to make it official.

Must Have Record: Ed Sheeran's '+'

Melissa said...You know, I have a child with an ex, and he was threatening to take me to court over our daughter, saying I was a bad mom, and I did drugs, and all kinds of things. I knew deep down that I wasn't a bad mother, I hadn't done anything wrong, and in the end he knew it, too. He was just angry, but realized the best place for our daughter was, in fact, with me. It's too bad that this mother couldn't just come to some kind of friendly agreement with her ex, and because she was selfish about it, she now might have to spend time in jail. Unfortunately, some of us WILL do anything to keep our kids, as she has proven.

Jennifer said...What part of "ex-wife" did you not understand? Plus, if you had read the original article you would have read that the recordings started in late 2007 and continued til mid 2008, meaning they were. at the very least, separated in 2007. This is about custody arrangements not a divorce settlement. Oh, and divorce settlements can take years with both parties remarrying in the interim if the proceedings are complicated enough.

agentsarahjane said...Child custody can be reviewed after a divorce decree, at least here in nebraska, according to what the child's needs are. The mother sounds like a psycho- despite whatever reasons Lewton and Divingnzzo divorced- she and her father made a really bad choice. Their fears or anger should not dictate what the child needs...
