International Divorce Saga; Custody and Revenge
A nasty divorce that started in Texas back in 2007, has ended today,5 years later. Pastor Norman Quintero and now ex wife Miriam Carolina Quintero have had their divorce finalized and their marriage dissolved in a Florida divorce court, according to Palm Beach Judge John Phillips.
Norman who serves as the Senior Pastor at Casa del Alfarero and as Associate Pastor at Centro de Vida churches in Dallas Texas has been in a battle to finalize his divorce for quite some time.”It has been a long process and with many scars left” stated Pastor Quintero upon learning about the court order. This battle started in Rockwall County, Texas in 2007 and moved to Palm Beach County, Florida in August 2009 when Pastor Quintero relocated to Florida after Miriam’s attempts to destroy his Ministry and Real Estate Offices.
The Seeds of Estrangement
Norman’s estranged wife Miriam Carolina, attempted to kidnap the son that the couple have together, and relocate him to Venezuela without the fathers’ consent. Miriam has also been charged with taking and selling many of Norman’s valuables from the marital property for cash. She was caught emptying the marital bank account and proceeded to vanish for about a year, leaving her child behind. Mrs. Quintero has made numerous public allegations against Pastor Quintero in order to damage his reputation as a man of God and servant to this community. Some of these include claiming domestic violence and having him arrested on a multitude of occasions.
Cant fool the Judge
As you can see, Norma has had everything on his side in terms of custody and grounds for divorce. However, it took over 5 years because Miriam was never in one place at a time, on purpose one might think. At the announcement of the finalization of the divorce process, Norman stated, “I am rejoicing that Judge Phillips recognized on the divorce resolutions that Miriam Carolina has irremediably damaged the good name built along the years. God’s honor will always come in time for those who patiently wait on him”.
Custody Related International Kidnap Attempt
While this case was pending in Court, Pastor Quintero originally was granted with temporary custody of Jose, the minor child of the parties in this marriage, based on the attempt made by Miriam Carolina to take the child to her native city of Maracaibo, Venezuela. The Palm Beach County Family Court granted primary parent status to Pastor Norman Quintero, reaffirming the divorce law and the temporary order entered by the Rockwall County Texas Court.
Divorce Justice is Served
In this rare case, the mother of the child and the wife in question was the one not granted custody. After her actionswere deemed unsatisfactory by the courts, it appears only right that the Pastor and husband be granted custody and dissolution of the marriage be awarded. There really isn’t anything too crazy for divorce in today’s society. There’s always something wild and crazy occurring, no matter where in the world you may be.
