Domestic Dispute
On the morning of August 13, 2006, an argument between Studebaker and her husband, Sam, began over the amount of time Studebaker was spending on the campaign. Her husband claimed that she was not spending enough time with their two young daughters, who were present during the incident. According to the sheriff report, Studebaker claimed that Sam proceeded to mock her political aspirations, threatened to take their children, and then pushed her and struck her shoulders and arms.
The sheriff's department became involved when it received almost simultaneous calls from Studebaker and her father-in-law. The father-in-law had become involved after receiving a call from his son during the escalation of the incident. When the deputies arrived, they were unable to determine who was at fault, as Sam had marks on his right upper arm and back. Both spouses were therefore taken into custody, and each was released later that day on a $25,000 bond. . The legal case ended when the parties involved chose not to press charges.
On Friday, August 18, 2006, Sam Studebaker filed for divorce in the Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.

““In great misfortunes,” he told himself, “people want to be alone. They have a right to be. And the misfortunes that occur within one are the greatest. Surely the saddest thing in the world is falling out of love—if once one has ever fallen in.”
Falling out, for him, seemed to mean falling out of all domestic and social relations, out of his place in the human family, indeed.”

“The king said, -Divide the living boy in two; then give half to the one, and half to the other. But the woman whose son was alive said to the king -because compassion for her son burned within her - -Please, my lord, give her the living boy; certainly do not kill him! The other said, -It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it. Then the king responded: -Give the first woman the living boy; do not kill him. She is his mother.”
