OnAugust 15, 2023, the Court denied my application following a hearing. Since thathearing, and increasingly in the recent past as our divorce suit came to a close, Mikehas threatened and harassed me. Our temporary orders required us to exchange Grayson at a local fire station.However, Mike always refused to meet me there, instead insisting on coming to thehouse. | have had exclusive use of the house, and until the end of January, | generallywould not let him in, as he was far too abusive to me (including on one occasion uponwhich he punched a hole in the wall). Throughout the suit, he would yell at me in frontof Grayson, calling me a “bitch” and a “c*nt.” Often when he returns Grayson to thehouse, he'll throw Grayson’s diaper bag or other belongings at me after starting anargument with me. This has happened on at least ten occasions. Seemingly anytime during the suit he’s heard on the news of a husband killinga wife who cheated, he’s made sure to tell me about it on the phone as if to say thatthe way he treats me could be worse. This has happened on three or four occasions.However, on December 28, 2023 during an argument over the phone, he interruptedme and asked, “do | have to f*cking kill you to do this?” | reprimanded him for sayingthat, pointing out that he’d been telling me about husbands killing their wives. Soonafter, he said “you’re going to find out,” then hung up the phone. He came over on New Year's Eve and demanded to get in the house, sayinghe wanted a tie. | was in the doorway holding Grayson. | told him I’d go get it, and he Samantha Lowman v. Michael Lowman Affidavit in Support of Application for Protective Order Page 1 of 4said, “I can go in my own f*cking house,” then shoved me and Grayson out of thedoor, put his foot in the door and went into the house. | have periodically dated Gareth Nock since Mike and | separated. On February23", he explicitly threatened to kill Gareth. Since then, he has threatened to kill Garethmore times than | can count. His threats to kill Gareth or hire someone to kill Garethare a near-daily occurrence. | have reported this to law enforcement, but | am unawareof anything being done about it. Mike and | started going to counseling earlier this spring. So long as he wasacting normally, | would let him in the house. However, on Sunday, May 12", the daybefore our trial date (and Mother's Day), Mike came over. He asked about the divorce.| told him | was going forward on Monday. He became upset, told me | was a “f*ckingc*nt,” that he’d make sure Gray knew why we were divorcing, and that he’d “burn thef*cking world down.” He left to check the mail when | asked him to leave. He cameback into the house, and using a razorblade, cut up a jacket Gareth gave me forGrayson months ago, cutting his own finger in the process. He told me that if he seesme and Gareth out in public after the divorce, he'll kill us both. On May 13", the day of trial, he located me in the parking garage across fromthe courthouse. He yelled at me and screamed in my window, refusing to leave mycar and trying to prevent me from going forward with the divorce. | couldn’t leave mycar or communicate completely with my attorney. He threatened to send incriminatingphotos to my new employer and post them on Facebook. When Conroe police arrived,they asked him to leave, and he did. On Wednesday, May 15", | went to an Astros game. He was waiting for me inthe cul de sac when | got home. He left when | arrived and drove to a parking lot withinviewing distance of our house and watched me. | know this because he called me at 11:00-11:30 p.m. asking why the patio light was on, who was at the house, and askingif anyone else was coming over. | turned off the lights and locked the house securely.| don’t know when he left. On Friday, May 17", after 10:00 p.m., when | refused to tell him where | was orsend him proof of my location, he loaded Grayson into his car and drove around TheWoodlands and Old Town Spring, threatening that if | was around someone he woulddisappear with Grayson. He threatened that if | didn’t dismiss the divorce, he wouldsend incriminating photographs to my new employer and again, threatened to killGareth. On Sunday, May 19", we met at a park to exchange Gray. He held my car dooropen yelling at me about Gareth while Grayson was in my lap. | asked him ten timesto get away from my car or I'd call the cops. He replied by saying he’d go to the house Samantha Lowman v. Michael Lowman Affidavit in Support of Application for Protective Order Page 2 of 4instead, which he did. | was headed to the house at the same time. He intentionallyblocked the driveway with his car, forcing me to drive over the curb to pull in. He calledme and threatened to call the cops as Grayson wasn’t in a car seat, and demanded(as he often did) that | do what he said, the “first step” of which was to remove Gareth,Gareth’s family, and any mutual friends of Gareth’s from being friends of mine onFacebook. On Monday, May 20", when | wasn’t there, he drove to the house to check ifI'd had anyone over. He took an extra key I’d hidden for the dog-watcher and left. Hetold me he’d check other locations to see where | was. I’ve had to avoid the houseand actively conceal my location given Mike’s recent behavior. On June 3", we appeared before the Court for our final trial. Mike did notappear. On June 6", he showed up at Grayson’s daycare when | was there to pick upGrayson. Initially not believing that the Court had entered an order for him to havesupervised possession, he took Grayson out of our car, only giving him back when herealized | was calling 9-1-1. The Court signed our divorce decree on June 17". Ever since then, Mike hasbeen relentless in asking me to execute a written statement saying that | don’t wanthis visits to be supervised. He won't use the court-ordered parenting application, andso far, he is adamant that he won't exercise supervised visits for Grayson. On June 21*, | met with my friend Lauren at Sawyer Park Icehouse after work.Somehow, Mike learned that | was there and showed up within ten minutes of myarrival. We left immediately to avoid him, but Mike pursued me to confront me aboutchanging our divorce decree. | asked him to leave me alone and left. After | left, he texted me asking why I’d been in downtown Houston onWednesday the 18"". He told me he knows people everywhere and will always knowwhere | am with his son. Later, | met with Gareth Nock, who drove me to pick up Grayson from daycare.On the way from the daycare to my house, we passed Mike, who had seemingly justleft the house. Given that | have the exclusive right to occupy the house until it is sold,he had no business being there other than to watch me and harass me. Seeing us, he immediately turned around and followed me to the house. Whenwe stopped, Mike got out of his car and approached the driver's side of the vehicle.Grayson was in the back seat at the time. Gareth opened the door and got out of thecar. In response, Mike shoved Gareth, who shoved him back. | called the police. Mikescreamed at Gareth to “stay the f*ck away from [his] son,” and left. For a moment,Grayson seemed shocked and startled, but once the shock wore off, he cried. Samantha Lowman v. Michael Lowman Affidavit in Support of Application for Protective Order Page 3 of 4In the hours that followed, Mike texted Gareth repeatedly with obscenities. Heposted about both of us on social media repeatedly, referring to me as a “stupidcheating slu*t,” a “cheating whor*,” and defaming Gareth and his business. For months, Mike has threatened to kill Gareth and acted threateningly towardme. He is becoming increasingly confrontational and has now escalated his behaviorto putting his hands on Gareth. His behavior seems to be having a serious emotionalimpact on Grayson, as well. Instead of seeing his father during periods of possessionGrayson’s recent experiences with Mike have all been Mike exploding at people (oftenme) in fits of rage, then disappearing. Grayson now experiences more intenseseparation anxiety and is attached to me at all times. Given that Mike’s behavior is escalating, | ask the Court to enter a protectiveorder prohibiting his behaviors.
