His attorneys argue that Edmonds lives in California and shouldn't weigh in on the custody of the children. Pilar Sanders' attorneys have tried to paint Deion Sanders as a cheater, saying Edmonds stays over at his house while he's still legally married. Deion Sanders said he doesn't think a jury should decide who gets primary custody of his children. A court-appointed counselor who has talked with the Sanders children also took the stand on Friday morning, but the judge did not allow her to say much, saying it would violating the children's trust.
Pilar Sanders testified on Thursday that, since she filed for divorce, her estranged husband has threatened to destroy her. She denied any accusations of adultery and cried as she told jurors about how betrayed and hurt she felt when he accused her on Twitter, to his hundreds of thousands of followers, of cheating.
Lisa Thomas, the piano teacher for the Sanders' children, also took the stand Thursday. She testified that Deion Sanders threatened her outside the courtroom the last time she was at a hearing. She said he told her: "I am going to get you.
Thomas told jurors that she requested protection from the Collin County Sheriff's Office because she could not afford a bodyguard and was afraid. Jurors also heard from two Prosper school principals for the Sanders' boys.
Both portrayed Pilar Sanders as a hands-on parent who is highly involved in the education of the children. The principals characterized Deion Sanders as hard to get a hold of, while his attorneys responded by pointing out that neither one had asked Deion Sanders for his email address or tried to talk to him when they have seen him on campus.
By dallasnews Administrator. Pilar Sanders was sentenced Tuesday to seven days in Collin County Jail on a contempt-of-court charge and lost all visitation rights to her three children.
Attorney Larry Boyd sought a temporary injunction related to a defamation suit filed last month over multiple social media posts and videos from Pilar Sanders alleging abuse, assault and attempted murder. As the bailiff was taking her into custody, year-old Pilar Sanders objected to the entire proceeding.
She appeared in court with no attorney, saying several times that she was taking part only under threat, duress and coercion. During the hearing, she cited multiple legal statutes, saying she did not recognize the jurisdiction of the court.
When asked to give her name after she took the stand, she said she did not have a name. At the end of the hearing, District Judge Ray Wheless found that Pilar Sanders had violated the visitation schedule that was part of the divorce decree.
He ordered her to be jailed 30 days, but then suspended and probated that sentence for one year. Still, as part of the probation, he ordered her to serve a week in the county lockup.
Her ex-husband testified that she violated the visitation schedule at least 16 times. In one instance, he testified, she kept the children more than a week longer than the schedule allowed. He said he had to retain an attorney to get them back. The first time no one answered the door.
The second time, he said, Pilar Sanders refused to turn over the children, saying the court had no jurisdiction over them. It is a binding contractual agreement entered into by spouses prior to marrying. This was not Deion Sanders first marriage. He was previously married to Carolyn Chambers whom he divorced in Having already been through one divorce, it is not unheard of for a person marrying for a second time to have a premarital agreement before entering into the second marriage.
What would happen under Texas divorce law if two spouses decide after years of marriage to tear up their prenup?
