Hector Guevara trial commences

Not open for further replies.
The Guevaras should win an award for being dysfunctional. I feel sorry for the wife and Kids
It's hard for me to convey how it is to watch "the Good Pastor" preaching about love and how happy families are to be sealed together in eternity and how this is "The Most Important Thing". For the love of money is the root of all evil. I think the wife and the kids will win.
 
Is this trial over yet?
No, sir. Resumes next Tuesday. I went last week for about an hour. Very boring. Only thing interesting that happened was when the judge called recess and the parties left. Judge called the lawyers up front and showed them a framed picture of a dead horse marked Exhibit A.. He told the lawyers they needed to stop beating the horse.

Priceless!

So what exactly are they fighting about, specifically? Are they still arguing about the divorce settlement?

Bama, the community property was divided in a divorce. Wife got 91.5, 92.5, 95.3 and 105.3. Turned out wife got 92.5 without the contract to rebroadcast an AM station (880) the translator was legally attached to. Then she got 105.3, which was unlawfully broadcasting at wrong site without the correct directional antenna. That required a lot of cash to make legal, and then someone with roof access.went up and was caught on camera tampering with the new equipment. Then there was the incident of the wife getting a contract to repeat KFNC, only to have the husband move another translator to Stafford on the same channel. The new signal was a silent carrier with so much power you could be looking at the downtown building with the wife's translator and not pick it up. Finally, 91.5 was a noncommercial license and 95.3 was an LPFM. These licenses have to be owned by nonprofit entities. They cannot legally be transferred as community property in a divorce. 95.3 has now been surrendered, and 91.5 has major adjacent channel spacing issues that interfere with 91.7 NGEN. That's why it is not on the air. So what the court must decide is whether to set aside the previous division of property, and revisit who should get what...

Wouldn't that be her fault for accepting the divorce settlement? Anyone on this board could have told her AM fed translators could have restrictions.

I wouldn't buy a set of truck tires if I don't own a truck. Why accept a settlement for a translator without it's AM counterpart?

What are her opinions on 92.5's current coverage then?

Either way, isn't this something she should known ahead of time? Did she not read the lease agreements and see the address discrepancies? I guess they didn't hire an appraiser or someone to inspect all of the assets?

IIRC, you posted about that. At the time, didn't you try to insinuate that it was one of us? Or was that someone else?

Yes, but wasn't that remedied? Or did he go back in the air?
Finally, 91.5 was a noncommercial license and 95.3 was an LPFM. These licenses have to be owned by nonprofit entities.
Isn't this something she should have known before the settlement? Either way, it's not hard to start a non-profit to continue using the licenses for religious purposes. She's free to sell them, donate them, or turn the license in to the FCC.

The licenses are not worthless if used properly.
They cannot legally be transferred as community property in a divorce.
I'm no legal expert, but couldn't you make the case for ALL of the radio assets? I'd have to double check, but I'm pretty sure all of the translators were licensed to the church at some point.

Either way, this is something that both parties should have known before the settlement.
95.3 has now been surrendered,
Why would she surrender an asset before the lawsuit? Wouldn't that be counterproductive to her case? What if Hector was willing to take the license back in exchange for a different property?

So is this another case of buyers remorse? How is this any different than a spouse accepting a house in the divorce, only to regret that decision when he/she finds out that there are taxes and expensive maintenance involved?

I understand, sir. Not taking sides here. Just answering the question of what the trial's all about. I personally think that translators should not be owned by any entity other than the station that they are repeating.
 
IIRC 92.5 wasn't dead air when it was on, it was relaying Barix's default music mix. But it only lasted a couple days.
