with clients who were injured on the job and helped them find new
employment. Petitioner would evaluate each client, establish a
plan for the client (i.e., job placement, a school or training
program, or establishing self-employment), and monitor the
progress of the client. One-half to two-thirds of petitioner's
clients were Hispanic. Thus, it was often necessary for
petitioner to communicate in Spanish with her clients--both
orally and in writing. Although petitioner could speak Spanish
and could draft an informal letter or document in Spanish, she
could not write in Spanish well enough to draft a formal
document. Thus, she would have to draft such documents in
English and hire someone to translate them into Spanish.
Petitioner and Richard Maynard (Mr. Maynard) went through a
marriage ceremony on May 23, 1985, and the marriage certificate
was filed on May 24, 1985. With the assistance of separate
counsel, petitioner and Mr. Maynard entered into a prenuptial
agreement on May 22, 1985. Petitioner filed an Inventory of
Separate Property in Placer County, California, on November 5,
1985. During 1989, petitioner and Mr. Maynard resided together
and held themselves out as being married.
On March 2, 1994, petitioner filed a petition in the
Superior Court in El Dorado County, California, requesting an
annulment of her marriage on the basis of fraud. An uncontested
hearing was held on April 21, 1994, and a Judgment of Nullity was
entered effective on that date.
