“Then Holcomb “suddenly and irrationally” told his politician wife that he was going to leave on Jan. 6, immediately exiting their home as his sons “cried” and before turning off the location services on his phone so she and the boys wouldn’t know where he was staying, Scholten’s papers claimed.”

“In the aftermath of the split, Holcomb showed “erratic and threatening behavior” toward the family, including “ambushing them” at the airport when Scholten decided to have the boys accompany her to DC for work, the court papers claimed.”

“Meanwhile, Holcomb claimed in his divorce papers from January that Scholten was trying to keep him out of their Grand Rapids home by changing the locks and security system passwords and she was also trying to keep him from their sons.”

“Scholten “has unilaterally cut off contact between [Holcomb] and the minor children and restricted and denied him liberal access to the materiel home,” his papers claimed.”

“But Scholten countered that the boys personally texted him they weren’t ready to see him because of the shock of him leaving and his alarming actions after.”

““It was this behavior-and additional erratic, aggressive, and intimidating behavior in the ensuing days … and abrupt and thoughtless choice that puts [Holcomb] in the position he is in today with the children,” her filing alleged.”

““The children are not ready to see their father without therapeutic intervention,” the documents claimed.”

“Holcomb filed for divorce on Jan. 26, without telling Scholten, offering little explanation for why he was doing so, other than to say the marriage was unfixable, court papers say.”

““There has been a breakdown of the marriage relationship to the extent that the objects of matrimony have been destroyed, and there remains no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved,” his divorce papers alleged.”

“Holcomb — who makes $105,000 at his professor gig — asked for spousal support and for Scholten — who makes $174,000 in Congress — to be responsible for the costs of the divorce.”

“A judge in late February did issue a ruling ordering them to share custody and that Holcomb would live in the home and take care of the sons when Scholten was in DC for work.”

“The judge, Matthew Delange, also ordered the kids to undergo therapy, the court papers show.”
