          Petitioner and Her Second Husband Christopher                               
               Petitioner met Christopher Doyel (Christopher) in 1971 and             
          married him in 1973.  As of the date of trial, petitioner and               
          Christopher were married and living together.3                              
               After she married Christopher, petitioner sold Avon                    
          products, Tupperware, and liquid embroidery; she also babysat.              
          Petitioner’s Relationship With Christopher                                  
               Christopher never misled petitioner regarding their finances           
          or “anything else”.  Christopher never hid any information from             
          petitioner.  Anything petitioner wanted to see or know, including           
          anything about their finances, he shared with her.  Petitioner              
          was welcome to read all financial materials, and other mail, he             
          received.                                                                   
               Christopher never abused petitioner.  He never threatened              
          petitioner or forced her to sign anything against her will.                 
               Each December or early January, Christopher drafted a budget           
          for the household bills.  After finishing his draft, Christopher            
          discussed the proposed budget with petitioner to make sure there            
          was enough money for projected expenses.  If the budget did not             
          balance, petitioner and Christopher decided what expenses to                
          eliminate so they achieved a balanced budget.                               



               3  Since October 2002, Christopher has been working in                 
          Charlotte, North Carolina.
