Prominent Attorney’s wife makes sad plea to the nation

Feb 20, 2016 Letters

Dear Editor,
I write to you because like so many citizens needing relief, one does not know in the present state of affairs in Guyana, to whom one should apply, who is the competent authority, to ask for advice and help. I divorced Mr. Ashton Chase in 1976 and since then the years between 1976 and 2011, this case has gone back and forth in the judicial system
Eventually it reached the Appeal Court. I was awarded in July 2011 the sum of $77,866 per month permanent maintenance due on the first of every month. I took the precaution of writing my bank and informing the general manager there that I was opening a special account with them to receive payments for permanent maintenance due to me from Mr. Ashton Chase in accordance with the court decision. A copy of my letter to the bank was sent to Mr. Chase.
However, there have been failures to make these payments. Recently there had been five months unpaid. I am 88 years old, very unwell, living alone and vulnerable to the cost of living and paying increasing medical expenses, in the sum
With the removal of subsidies for electricity and water for pensioners, this situation becomes even more desperation. I should mention that I was advised that I was entitled to division of property, but that case was never heard since it took from 1976 to 2011 to get hearings for the permanent maintenance case— 35 years old. I do not know if this is correct but it appears to me that this deliberate flouting of the court orders constitute “contempt of court.” Thanking you and hoping for early relief.
Audrey Salamalay Chase.
