STATE OF MICHIGAN
IN THE THIRD JUDICIAL CIRCUIT FOR THE COUNTY OF WAYNE
FAMILY DIVISION, DOMESTIC RELATIONS
ADRIENNE MARJORIE ROCKENHAUS, Case No. 26-104594-DO
Plaintiff,
Hon. Yvonna C. Abraham
v.
CONRAD ALAN ROCKENHAUS,
Defendant.
DEFENDANT'S ANSWER TO VERIFIED COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE, AFFIRMATIVE
DEFENSES, AND COUNTERCLAIM
NOW COMES Defendant, Conrad Alan Rockenhaus, appearing pro se, and for his Answer to Plaintiff's
Verified Complaint for Divorce, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaim, states as follows:
PART I. ANSWER TO VERIFIED COMPLAINT
1. As to Paragraph 1, Defendant admits that this Court has general subject matter jurisdiction over divorce
proceedings pursuant to MCL 552.6. Defendant denies that venue is proper in Wayne County and has
filed a separate Motion for Change of Venue contemporaneously herewith. Defendant admits that
Plaintiff has resided in Michigan for at least 180 days and does not dispute Plaintiff's residency in Wayne
County for the statutory period. However, Plaintiff's residency in Wayne County does not establish
proper venue where the last shared marital domicile was in Washtenaw County and Plaintiff's own
complaint admits Defendant never resided in Wayne County.
2. As to Paragraph 2, Defendant admits that the parties were legally married on May 20, 2023, in Clarkston,
Michigan (Oakland County).
3. As to Paragraph 3, Defendant admits that there are no children born to the marriage.
4. As to Paragraph 4, Defendant lacks sufficient knowledge or information to form a belief as to whether
Plaintiff is pregnant and therefore denies the same.
5. As to Paragraph 5, Defendant admits that the parties did not acquire ownership of real property during
the marriage.
6. As to Paragraph 6, Defendant admits that there may be assets and debts subject to equitable division,
but denies that Plaintiff is entitled to any share of Defendant's VA Disability Compensation or SSDI
benefits, which are federally protected separate property. A separate Brief Regarding Federal
Preemption has been filed contemporaneously herewith.
7. As to Paragraph 7, Defendant admits the parties' legal names as stated.
8. As to Paragraph 8, Defendant admits that he was convicted in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Texas and that restitution was ordered. Defendant states that both the conviction and
the restitution order predate the parties' marriage on May 20, 2023, and are therefore premarital
obligations that are not subject to equitable division as marital debt. Defendant denies that this conviction
is relevant to the claims in the complaint and further states that Plaintiff's inclusion of the criminal history
is intended to prejudice this Court.
9. As to Paragraph 9, Defendant admits that he was released from federal custody on March 2, 2026, and
that an ex parte Personal Protection Order was served on that date. Defendant denies that his "current
residence or whereabouts are unknown." Plaintiff has known Defendant's whereabouts at all times.
Plaintiff's own actions in revoking her residence as a release option directly caused Defendant to be
released to the Robert J. Delonis Center homeless shelter at 312 W. Huron Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan
48103, a fact known to Plaintiff at the time this complaint was filed. Plaintiff's counsel subsequently
served Defendant at his current address of 1690 Brookfield Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48103 on April
14, 2026, further confirming knowledge of Defendant's whereabouts. The statement that Defendant's
whereabouts are "unknown" is false and was included in the complaint to mislead this Court.
10. As to Paragraph 10, Defendant admits that the parties resided in a rental in
