Re: Violations of Federal Law; Violations of Florida Court Orders;

Martin v. Martin;

Dear Mr. Currington:

First, I hope I have your name spelled correctly. Second, thank you for calling yesterday. Next,
allow me to provide you with Ms. Martin’s phone number of (727) 457-2436, as you might need.

Referring to the initial faxed letter of last Thursday, March 1st, and our conversation, the facts
enumerated by that letter’s “Summary” are easily shown by the enclosed sets of documents, each
of which has been paper clipped and post-it noted by corresponding number below for your ease:

1. Stephen Martin’s criminal history, showing a number of sex crime convictions.

2. The original final divorce orders, awarding Theresa Martin child custody, support, etc.

3. Subsequent findings and orders on contempt, showing Stephen Martin’s never-paid child

support arrearage in the amount of $10,303.67 on June 4, 2004, and issuing an arrest warrant.

4. Emergency orders for Theresa Martin to get her children back after Stephen kidnapped them.

5. The petition for a second divorce that was filed as a new case by Arnelle Strand for Stephen.

6. The outrageous order of this new case, giving Stephen custody, and support from Theresa.

7. Various documentation showing that the children have suffered since being with Stephen.

8. Arnelle Strand's latest frauds to try doing away with Stephen's large child support arrearage,

and to falsely accuse Theresa of “failure to pay”, when her income has always been garnished.

1
9. Responses to #8, including the Bradley Amendment prohibitions, and no possible contempt.

10.Judge Debra Roberts' recent screwed up order, including a support modification down to an

incorrect $272 and all the other wrong figures. See Theresa’s letter of breakdown/explanation.

11.An old child support order from January of 2006 that, discovered only earlier today by Ms.

Martin’s records check at the Pasco County child support office, would appear to the culprit

directly responsible for the outrageous amounts of garnishment now taken from her income.

12.The two (2) recent CSE letters, each with its own case number, the earlier case number in

regards to Stephen’s large support owed to Theresa, and the fraudulent case against Theresa.

As mentioned, Ms. Martin made a lengthy visit to the Pasco County child support office today, in
order to challenge the falsely triple-sized current garnishment. It would appear that Arnelle
Strand has been changing the official court records, by substituting false documents, and various
other matters. Again, see Theresa’s letter of breakdown/explanation for more details. Theresa
was also told today by the child support agent that the original case – and its several thousands of
dollars owed by Stephen to Theresa for years now – has been closed as a result of Judge Roberts’
latest order knowingly issued in direct violation of Federal law duly provided. The agent further
told Theresa that it is not unusual for them to close child support cases, which is another outrage
that we will be having a literal field day with… Not only does this do the unthinkable obvious, of
cutting off minor children from the support that they need, but, again, it violates Federal law.

Let us ardently remind: It is an outrage that ANY child molester would be awarded custody of
ANY children, in the first place, let alone be assisted by a Florida attorney in filing a fraudulent
second divorce case, in evading lawful arrest, in kidnapping minor children across state lines, in
doing end-runs around federal law and criminally concealing lawful debts owed, and, apparently,
in playing fraudulent havoc with official court records, state agencies, and whatever she wanted.

Frankly, we expect that the Governor will do nothing. Therefore, we must proceed as planned. If
you plan to rectify the above situation, then you should do so immediately. Again, such acts will
include, at a minimum, that Ms. Martin’s children are promptly returned, and that the false child
support orders against her are immediately stopped. Also, both Stephen Martin and his attorney,
Arnelle Strand, must be held accountable, as is provided by civil, criminal, and professional law.

Again, thanking you for your serious and prompt attention to this most urgent matter, I remain,

Very truly yours,

Mr. Torm L. Howse,

President and General Counsel,
Indiana Civil Rights Council
