home that I own because Ali was there, and continually sending me threatening messages
(Exhibit 4). During the weekend Ali went to the phone company and had me suspended as the
head person of the phone lines I pay for. He also bought a new I-watch on that account. I had to
go to the phone company and prove I am the person that pays for all the phone lines, have him

they do not pay rent. After he came into my room with the hammer, he put my hands behind my
head and pushed my head onto the bed. He then smashed my table and laptop. (Exhibit 1) He left
the room. I was afraid to call the police because he would come after me.
In the past he has told me he would take to court saying I am delusional and lying. He tells me he
won’t let me sell my house. I try explaining that it will go into foreclosure, and he says he does not
care he will squat in it.
He continually verbally abuses me. I have to hide my phone because I am afraid, he will smash it. I
safety pin my pockets with my phone and credit cards in it so he can’t steal them and use them.
My daughter calls me every night to see if I am ok because we are worried what Ali will do to me.
He continually blames everyone and does not take any responsibility.
Ali has threatened me multiple times that he won’t leave my house so that I won’t be able to sell
the house. He has taken my passport and has sold my belongings. He repeatedly threatens me
that if I evict him or his girlfriend, he will take me to court. He has pushed me multiple times.

☐ Exclusive, continuing jurisdiction – A Washington court has already made a
custody order or parenting plan for the children, and the court still has authority to
make other orders for the children.
☐ Home state jurisdiction – Washington is the child’s home state because
(check all that apply):
☐ The children lived in Washington with a parent or someone acting as a parent
for at least the 6 months just before this case was filed, or if a child is less than
6 months old, the child has lived in Washington with a parent or someone
acting as a parent since birth.
☐ There were times the children were not in Washington in the 6 months
just before this case was filed (or since birth if a child is less than 6
months old), but those were temporary absences.
☐ The children do not live in Washington right now, but Washington was the
children’s home state sometime in the 6 months just before this case was
filed, and a parent or someone acting as a parent of the children still lives in
Washington.
☐ The children do not have another home state.
☐ No home state or home state declined – No court of any other state (or tribe) has
the jurisdiction to make decisions for the children or a court in the children’s home
state (or tribe) decided it is better to have this case in Washington and:
The children and a parent or someone acting as a parent have ties to
Washington beyond just living here; and
There is a lot of information (substantial evidence) about the children’s care,
protection, education, and relationships in this state.
☐ Other state declined – The courts in other states (or tribes) that might be the
children’s home state have refused to take this case because it is better to have this
case in Washington.
☐ Temporary emergency jurisdiction – The court can make decisions for the
children because the children are in this state now and were abandoned here or
need emergency protection because the children (or their parent, brother, or sister)
were abused or threatened with abuse. (Check one):
☐ A custody case involving the children was filed in the children’s home state
(name of state or tribe): . Washington
should take temporary emergency jurisdiction over the children until the
Petitioner can get a court order from the children’s home state (or tribe).
☐ There is no valid custody order or open custody case in the children’s home
