He abandoned her, committed adultery, and emotionally tortured his immediate and extended family. Have no hesitation, Emily, walking away from the marriage.

The lack of any kind of integrity blows my mind!! (Lack for Ryan I mean…His wife’s integrity is firmly intact.)

 

[ChatteringBirds]

Without knowing her, it's still safe to say, she deserves to find some happiness and peace now.

The wife of a Wisconsin kayaker who faked his own death moves to end their marriage

The wife of a Wisconsin kayaker who faked his own drowning so he could leave her and their children and meet a woman in Eastern Europe filed court documents Thursday seeking to end their marriage. Online court records indicate Emily Borgwardt filed a petition in Dodge County Circuit Court...

news.yahoo.com

The separation petition states that the couple has been married for 22 years and [EB] wants sole custody of their three teenaged children.

 

[Herat]

Sole custody of three teenage children !

I hope she also files for child support for any minor children.

Good job Emily.

I am thinking of him walking through muck up to his hips, as he stated he did, when pulling out of the lake before his ebike ride. He got cold on the ebike ride and changed clothes - what did he do with muddy pants? They would be stinky by the time he got to his destination. Oh, the romance.

From the complaint you have posted, I want to pull out this piece:


So, in addition to screwing over his family (wife, kids, parents), he was also willing to screw over his friend(s).

What a loser.

Imo.

Interesting that he went to church first. What a jerk.

Quite the bike rider - didn't know how to turn on e-bike.

And think of the kids. Get them away ASAP.

Additionally, he also didn't seem to research where he was going. Violent protests in Georgia highlight battle over the country's future. Probably not the best place for some random dude like RB to go chill recently. Imo.

Re: him being in GA

The criminal complaint charging Ryan Borgwardt with misdemeanor obstruction offers a detailed account of how the 45-year-old pulled off his disappearance, including how he struggled to emerge from the water, almost didn’t make it through customs on his way overseas and was living in the country of Georgia when he realized he had left too many clues behind.

Interesting that the wife is filing for annulment after 20+ years of marriage. Jmo. Would that be important from a religious viewpoint? Or is separation/annulment just how it's listed, legally, in WI?

Ryan Borgwardt's wife files for annulment after his return from Europe, obstruction charge

According to the petition filed in Dodge County, the marriage is "irretrievably broken." The document doesn't elaborate.

Emily Borgwardt filed for "annulment/legal separation" Thursday from Ryan Borgwardt -- her husband who faked his own drowning so he could leave her and their children and meet a woman in Eastern Europe.

An April 28 hearing was scheduled.

<modsnip - no link> The church says you can't divorce if you are practicing Catholic. There may be a problem for her legally if she tries to annul. None of the reasons for a wisconsin marriage to be annulled apply Wisconsin Legislature: 767.313 here's the statute, 767.313. I'd eat my foot if the court grants it. But correction: It looks like she filed for legal separation, which is different.

And a husband cheating, running off and being a criminal really aren't reasons to take children away from their dad. In my personal opinion, he may be scum, but he deserves visitation. Taking a child away from a dad shouldn't be the kind of punishment we go for in this world. It should only be done, IN MY OPINION, when the child is endangered by the dad.
All of this, MOO.

<modsnip - no link> The church says you divorce if you are that Catholic. There may be a problem for her legally. None of the reasons for a wisconsin marriage to be annulled apply. I'd eat my foot if the court grants it. She probably can get away with a legal separation as far as the church is concerned, and then the court can deal with the child custody situation. Just my own opinion.

Is she Catholic? My understanding (can’t find the source now) is that the family are of Lutheran denomination. The vast majority of Christians support divorce in the case of adultry due to biblical teachings about it. Historically Catholics are more anti-divorce in general.

That's a good question. if she's Lutheran and it's not against her religion, I think legal separation is a waste of money, she should go straight to divorce. Otherwise she has to do the whole thing over again later. I had guessed Catholic due to the filing of an annulment. Although this article is saying she filed for legal separation. I didn't see the papers, i just was going off what people said she filed.

Maybe she needs time and space to process everything that has happened, talk with RB, etc before she is ready to commit to the divorce step. IDK how it works in the USA but here in Australia you have to be separated for a specific amount of time (unsure how long) before you can divorce.

The basic guide from Wisconsin says quote "120 days waiting period" https://www.wicourts.gov/formdispla...&formType=Instructions&formatId=2&language=en

But I don't know if she can convert it to a divorce after the waiting period or not.

That’s also true for certain states in the United States. In South Carolina, you must be legally separated and living apart for at least a year before you can divorce (with certain exceptions — like if the filing party is a victim of domestic violence, for example). I don’t know what the laws are in Wisconsin, though.

They are Lutheran and Lutherans do not recognize theological annulments. A legal annulment does not seem to apply here, according to Wisconsin law. I’m not understanding why an annulment would be requested.

Wisconsin state law:

They are Wisconsin synod Lutherans, who do not recognize annulments:

I have been divorced twice in Wisconsin (ok, that's a WHOLE different story than this - I just don't pick well - noone faked their death to get away from me) It doesn't make me an expert, but annulments are rare, and there is no rule that you need to be separated before a divorce. Some people do the legal separation thing so that finances are secure while a lengthy divorce is gone through. I don't know why this would be a lengthy divorce though - seems neither one wants to stay married, since, you know - the whole fake your death thing to get out of it on his side, and she filed this legal separation thing today. The 120-day waiting period that someone else referred to above is for getting married AFTER a divorce - you can't get married to anyone for 120 days after the divorce is final. I think she wants to believe the marriage never existed. Savage. Love it!

You cannot say the marriage never existed, there's no reason to declare it so. He wasn't a bigamist, they weren't underage, they were able to have sex, and there was no incapacity. Wisconsin Legislature: 767.313 source -- the law right there.
It may be savage, but you'll be wasting your money on attorneys' fees or everybody's time because it doesn't fit the criteria.
