Nikki Araguz: What happened in court today

Jeers and public threats greeted Mrs. Nikki Araguz outside the Warton County Courthouse today. The Widow of Wharton County firefighter Captain Thomas Araguz, who was killed in the line of duty, was in court for the first hearing in a suit brought by Araguz's mother, Simona Rodriguez Longoria. The suit claims that Longoria should inherit Capt. Araguz's widow's benefits and all marital assets.

Longoria claims that since Mrs. Araguz was legally a male before transitioning to female, and legally changed her gender prior to her subsequent marriage to Capt. Araguz that Longoria, not Mrs. Araguz, should receive all benefits and joint property. This includes any income earned by Mrs. Araguz during the marriage. Mrs. Araguz was the principle wage earner of the couple.

Capt. Araguz's two children from a previous marriage will receive one half of Capt. Araguz's $600,000 firemen's fallen hero benefit regardless of the outcome of this case. They are also entitled to free tuition at Texas State Schools, as will be their children.

Longoria today expanded her claims to the property of Mrs. Araguz, asking the court to seize funds paid by a life insurance policy to which Mrs. Araguz was the named beneficiary. Judge Clapp granted her request, adding those funds to the widow's benefits and all marital assets currently being held in escrow.

In a victory for Mrs. Araguz, the Judge also prevented Longoria from spending any of those funds or disposing of Capt. and Mrs. Araguz's marital assets.

Longoria said in court today that her goal was to "freeze Nikki out." All of Mrs. Araguz's assets are currently frozen and unavailable to her.

nikki araguz is a fag from hell. Fine you want to be gay be gay. Why put on the dress and make up. If she truly loved her Husband like she says she does she should willingly give up this fight so that her Husband's two sons can have a better life. I find it funny that she verbally says she loves her Husband and wants to take food out of his son's mouth.

@PorkChopMissPiggy WTF are you talking about? The ex started with 300k + free college for the kids. If she wins Nikki's benefits by having the marriage voided, she will still have 300k after attorney fees. For that, she outed her children in small-town Wharton. When she started this, her kids were the children of a fallen hero. Now the kids will be forever known as the kids of that guy who married a pre-op trans. And for what?!? The money she started with will be the same.

[PorkChopMissPiggy]

@ehipassiko Before anyone starts to spend serious money on litigation they give notice to the other party of their intentions. The real money is only spent when the other party also gears up for action. The truth is Nikki wants that money, period. She doesn't give a flying f*ck for those two boys because she didn't give birth to them. Nikki gives all trannys a bad name. She is making them look like selfish monsters.

[ehipassiko]

@PorkChopMissPiggy The truth is Piggy, that we wouldn't be having this discussion if she wasn't trans. How did you form the opinion that the kids she cared for 4 days out of the week for almost 4 years & who she (not Thomas) paid child support for - that she doesn't care for those kids? You do realize that should the other side prevail, the legal status of all Texas TGs who transitioned reverts back to their birth sex?

[PorkChopMissPiggy]

Now it's up to Nikki to see if she will do the moral and right thing. How can she sleep at night when she's fighting to take money from those two little boys who have just lost their father. Lets say she was a genetic female. How would her fighting to take away their dead father's death benefits be any more moral. I'm 100% sure if we were able to contact the dead father's ghost right now he would slap Nikki and tell her to give HIS money to HIS sons.

[ehipassiko]

@PorkChopMissPiggy She's been working with Frank Mann - the same guy that dragged her name through the mud - to get the kid's benefits to them immediately. The benefits couldn't be released until an executer was declared. The mother in law (the one suing Nikki) wanted to be the executer. Instead of fighting, Nikki agreed so Thomas' ex wife could get her money. And yes, the ex can now buy a new hummer "for the kids." The ex has never said she intends on saving that money.

[PorkChopMissPiggy]

@iamlabelle You wish you could get pregnant. You wish you were a real women. You wish you smelled like a women. You wish you looked like a woman. You wish you could get married and have kids with your Husband. Your a tranny. You will never be a woman. Only a man in a dress.

[iamlabelle]

@PorkChopMissPiggy besides your made up delusional story about aging into a man lol and il say it again GOOGLE and YOUTUBE are your two only best friends the world is at your finger tips or do i have tell you exactly what to look for and search?? you do a search on young transsexual to old transsexuals, let's see mmm try this, a well respected Transsexual in Australia check out "Carlotta-this is your life" OMG you gonna love it, you probably eat ur own words lolllllllllllll

[iamlabelle]

@PorkChopMissPiggy As i said before Google is your friend lol, you sound like a bitter gay man than a women?? I feel so sorry for your daughter she must be so ashamed to have you as a mother lol, do you understand any English did you ever go to school? I think i told before ive been a transsexual for 30 years and still haven't had any issues as of yet so what is your point? are you just jealous because we transsexuals look extremely more feminine than you? that's all i get and hear from you.

[iamlabelle]

@PorkChopMissPiggy ahhh what makes think you??lol you from all you mental thoughts that you being saying clearly & obviously you don't know anything lol People do accept us its just that You dont lol. Whats your point about the dr? stick to one story lol, sorry but we got no Medical Condition its actually you that have the Problem and the mental ill condition lollllllllllllll

[PorkChopMissPiggy]

@iamlabelle I don't care how much surgery you get. If you get your balls off and stuff your penis inside yourself. Every cell in your body is that of a man. Your bones, scent, even the way you age will be that of a man. As you get older the more masculine looking you will become. Why can't transsexuals just accept themselves as transsexuals. You guys are always forcing yourselves as real women down our throats. Leave as alone! No I don't want my daughter to share a washroom with you

[PorkChopMissPiggy]

@iamlabelle What makes you think I don't know about transsexuals. You transsexuals always make the argument that people don't accept you as real women because we're ignorant about what a transsexual is. That line of thinking in itself is ignorant. A doctor can still dislike Midgets/little people even though he knows their condition through and through. I don't see transsexuals as real women because the state of their medical condition has made it so their born a baby boy.

[iamlabelle]

@PorkChopMissPiggy I did tell you before to go and educate yourself and GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE IS YOUR FRIEND THE WORLD IS AT YOUR FINGERTIPS DEAR. The shit ur talking about is all made up in your head or you seen it on tv on Jerry where none of that is true,& you got Transsexuals and Cross dressers mixed up, they are two different types of people. and your contradicting yourself and just sound even worse like you really do need mental help. Have seen Transsexuals before in real life or on youtube?

[PorkChopMissPiggy]

@iamlabelle I don't hate transsexuals. I don't even dislike transsexuals. What I don't like is when transsexuals who look like men force other people to treat them like women. Dude if you look like a man in a dress please do not expect people to treat you like a woman.
