FISHERS - The recent divorce of Fishers couple Barbara and Colin Woback was blamed solely on their 5-year-old daughter today, as papers were served at the local courthouse.
After 8 years of marriage, the couple decided to call off their vows two months ago citing irreconcilable differences.
However it came to light this morning that the real motivation for their split was the existence of their bed-wetting and emotionally distant child Stacy.
"Obviously, it's very painful to separate from a person you love so much," said 41-year-old Colin. "But I just want Barbara to know that she is not to blame for any of this; all responsibility lies with our daughter, who was quite frankly just becoming annoying."
Speaking briefly to the Tribune today, Barbara Woback (nee Carlton) said that she and her husband tried on numerous occasions to rekindle the good times they had shared prior to conceiving Stacy, but were pushed to breaking point by the youngster's social dysfunctions.
"She has just been a nightmare from start to finish," said the haggard estate agent. "Not only did we have to change her sheets twice a day, but her disruptive behavior in class meant we were constantly picking her up early from school.
"Because we really didn't want to let out our frustrations on Stacy, Colin and I began directing our anger at each other."
"And the rest is history."
Meanwhile, the estranged couple are set to meet in court again on July 11 to determine who will avoid having to claim custody of the child.
