However, on April 14, 1952, Arnie filed for divorce again at the Tulsa County Court House and this time she filed a petition. The divorce documents below and everything I'm sharing in this chapter is part of a public Divorce file. Also, notice that many of Arnie's accusations are amazingly similar to Myrtle's 1929 accusations.
Petition filed April 14, 1952 by Arnie:
The next document is a restraining order against Grover Sr. along with a request for temporary alimony, attorney fees and costs. He is also restrained from annoying, harming, molesting or threatening Arnie in any manner.
A new petition from Arnie against Grover Sr. is filed on October 14, 1952. At the beginning of the petition it states that both parties effected a reconciliation, and that the last action was dismissed on May 8, 1952, with Grover Sr. agreeing to keep his promises. What is even more mind boggling to me, is that it appears May 24, 1952 is the first time Grover Sr.'s name is on the house Arnie purchased in 1945. So unless I am missing a filing between 1945 and 1952, it is just a couple of weeks after the second divorce dismissal that he becomes co owner of the house at 1412 1/2 5th Ct. in Tulsa.
Petition dated October 14, 1952
(Make note on the above page of what Arnie accuses Grover of saying: ".....the Plaintiff's (Grover Sr.) former wife is now an inmate of an asylum and the defendant (Grover Sr.) has stated that that is where he is going to put the plaintiff (Arnie)."
Grover is personally served the Restraining Order below on October 15, 1952:
This time, Grover returns with a Cross Petition dated October 16, 1952, answering the above charges. You will notice that Grover doesn't feel Arnie is any better than Myrtle about "cohabitation as husband and wife", providing a home, cooking or the over all duties of a wife in marriage! Also note that these are the documents I referred to in the previous chapters. These are Grover's documented words concerning where and what he and Arnie was doing between 1941 and 1952.
Now if I understand correctly, Arnie is not completely happy with judgement handed down by the court. She was happy the Judge ruled in her favor as far as the divorce is concerned, however, she requested to received everything and the Judge said everything, including the house, was to be divided equally. Therefore, she filed an Appeal.
On November 25, 1952, Arnie is overruled by the Court. All property must be divided.
The following document states that on December 4th, approximately a week after Arnie's appeal is denied, they jointly agree that the decree of divorce and equal distribution of the property should be set aside, vacated and held for naught. The petition and cross petition are dismissed and they will continue as man and wife. When I explain to you what happens in the court proceedings held in the Sealed Guardianship file, I will let you make your own determination as to why Arnie and Grover Sr. decided to jointly agree that the divorce be dismissed.
I will close this chapter and start again in the next Chapter. In Chapter 7, I will show you how the trail leads back to the Sealed Guardian file during the same time Arnie and Grover's divorce proceedings were going on in 1952. Myrtle and my Dad, Grover Jr. will now enter the picture.....................
