There is a strange kind of confidence required to file for divorce, fail to move that divorce forward, get found not to be complying with discovery, and then publicly suggest that she is the reason the divorce has not been finalized.

But that is exactly the story Mark seems to want people to believe.

In his April 4 post, Mark wraps a personal grievance in scripture, betrayal, Joseph, false accusations, and divine vindication. He writes about being “forced out” of his home, about people allegedly spreading lies, about being betrayed and cheated on, and about someone taking away “the home that I still own.”

Then the post gets more direct.

He says he is still legally married. He says another man lives in the home he helped build. He says the home is still being used in ways that break his heart. He says he believes that, in God’s timing, he will receive what is “rightfully” his. He says he poured his heart into the home, added over 2,000 square feet, and helped build what they once called a dream home. Then he asks why there has not been a divorce and suggests, “deep down,” that the delay exists because there is a fear of losing what was built together.

That is an interesting claim.

Because Mark filed for the divorce.

So the obvious question is this:

If Mark wants the divorce finalized, why is he blaming Tori for the delay instead of moving forward the divorce he filed?

[Mr. Roberts was Mark’s attorney. 03/13/2025 Notice of Withdrawal of Attorney. Someone that is motivated to get divorced such as Mark would ]

Not emotionally.

Not spiritually.

Not through another long Facebook sermon.

Legally.

Procedurally.

Properly.

Divorce does not move forward because someone posts about betrayal.

Divorce moves forward when documents are produced.

Divorce moves forward when discovery is answered.

Divorce moves forward when financial information is provided.

Divorce moves forward when deadlines are followed.

Divorce moves forward when the person who filed actually does the work required to finish what he started.

And that is where Mark’s public story starts to fall apart.

Because if he filed, then he is not some helpless man trapped in a marriage by Tori’s fear. He is the petitioner. He started the process. He opened the legal door. He chose the battlefield.

So why is he standing online acting like someone else locked him inside?

Why is Tori suddenly responsible for the delay?

Why is she being painted as the obstacle?

Why does he ask, “Why has there not been a divorce?” as though he is merely a passenger in a case he personally filed?

And maybe the sharpest question of all:

Why was Mark found to not be complying with discovery if he is supposedly the one seeking truth, justice, and resolution?

That is the part his post does not explain.

He can talk about God seeing everything.

He can talk about vindication.

He can talk about what was stolen.

He can talk about what belongs to whom.

But discovery is where those claims get tested.

Discovery is where people stop performing and start producing.

Discovery is where the court does not care how wounded a Facebook post sounds. The court wants documents. Records. Answers. Numbers. Proof.

And if Mark was found not to be complying with discovery, then he does not get to stand on social media and imply that Tori is the reason the divorce is delayed.

That is not truth.

That is projection.

That is not Joseph in the pit.

That is a petitioner avoiding paperwork.

That is not God’s timing.

That is court process — and apparently, Mark did not like what the process required from him.

Proof Should Be the Easy Part

Mark’s post leans heavily on the idea that something was taken from him. He writes that God knows “what was built, what was lost, what was stolen, and what belongs to whom.” He says his home is “marked by God” and that his name is still tied to it.

Fine.

Then prove it.

If the home belongs to him, that should be easy to show.

If the money belongs to him, that should be easy to trace.

If the labor, square footage, investment, ownership, and equity are all as clear as he implies, then discovery should not be a threat.

Discovery should be his opportunity.

That is what makes the public performance so hollow.

A man with proof does not need to hide behind vague spiritual captions.

A man with proof does not need to suggest divine vindication is coming someday.

A man with proof does not need to blame Tori for a delay in the divorce he filed.

A man with proof produces the proof.

Especially when the court is literally asking for it.

So why all the sermonizing?

Why all the victim language?

Why all the dramatic claims about betrayal, theft, and restoration?

Why not just provide the documents?

Because if it really belongs to him, then the evidence should speak louder than the Facebook post.

And if the evidence does not speak clearly, maybe that is why the post has to be so loud.

A man with receipts does not fear discovery. He welcomes it.

Public Records Do Not Need a Sermon

This is where the Clark County Auditor record matters.

Mark can write long posts about what was “stolen.”

He can say God knows what belongs to whom.

He can talk about his name being tied to the home.

He can suggest that Tori is delaying the divorce because she is afraid of losing what was “built together.”

But ownership is not determined by Facebook.

Ownership is not determined by a devotional post.

Ownership is not determined by how many times someone says “God sees the truth.”

Ownership is documented.

It is recorded.

It is filed.

It is public.

[SCREENSHOT: Clark County Auditor record showing documented ownership information for the home Mark references in his April 4 post.]

That screenshot matters because it takes the issue out of Mark’s emotional framing and places it where it belongs: in the public record.

If the house belongs to him, the record should show it.

If his interest is what he claims it is, the record should support it.

If his name, contribution, ownership, and rights are as clear as he suggests, then discovery and public records should be his strongest allies — not things he talks around with scripture and emotional storytelling.

A screenshot of a county ownership record does not need to cry betrayal.

It does not need to quote Joseph.

It does not need to talk about vindication.

It simply shows what is recorded.

And that may be exactly why Mark’s post has to work so hard.

Because when the paperwork is clear, the sermon gets shorter.

This Pattern Did Not Start With Tori

What makes the April 4 post even more revealing is that this is not some brand-new pattern.

Mark also filed for divorce in his marriage to Melissa.

And then, when that divorce no longer served the image he wanted to project, he tried to delay that process too. He tried to stop it. He tried to keep control of the timeline, the story, and the outcome.

But Melissa pushed forward.

She had the help of an attorney.

She did not allow Mark’s emotional reversals, delays, or attempts to regain control of the process to determine whether the divorce would actually happen.

That matters.

Because now, years later, with Tori, Mark appears to be standing in a very familiar place: filing for divorce, then publicly acting like the divorce is something being done to him.

He starts the process.

Then he complains about the process.

He wants the moral authority of the wounded husband.

He wants the legal leverage of the petitioner.

He wants the public sympathy of the abandoned man.

And he wants none of the accountability that comes with actually finishing what he started.

That is not confusion.

That is a pattern.

With Melissa, he filed and then tried to stop or delay the divorce.

With Tori, he filed and now appears to suggest she is the reason the divorce is delayed.

Different marriage.

Same script.

Different woman.

Same blame.

Different legal case.

Same public performance.

The Sermon Hides the Strategy

His April 4 post tries to turn a legal issue into a spiritual tragedy. He presents himself as betrayed, displaced, misunderstood, falsely accused, cheated on, and destined for vindication. But buried underneath the scripture is something much more ordinary:

A man who filed for divorce, then blamed the woman he filed against when the divorce did not move fast enough.

A man who has done this before.

A man who talks about truth, but apparently struggled with the part of the process designed to reveal it.

A man who says he wants what is “rightfully” his, but does not seem nearly as eager to complete the legal steps required to determine that.

That is the contradiction.

If Tori is supposedly holding up the divorce, then why is Mark the one who filed?

If Mark wants the divorce finalized, why is he not pushing it forward?

If Mark wants truth, why not comply fully with discovery?

If Mark wants justice, why not produce everything the court requires?

If Mark believes he will be vindicated, why does the path to vindication always seem to stop right before accountability begins?

And if this happened before with Melissa, why should anyone pretend this is only about Tori?

Maybe the answer is simple.

Because the public story is easier than the legal process.

Online, Mark can be Joseph.

In court, Mark has to be compliant.

Online, Mark can talk about betrayal.

In court, Mark has to answer discovery.

Online, Mark can say God knows what belongs to whom.

In court, Mark has to provide documentation.

Online, Mark can suggest Tori is afraid of losing what was built together.

In court, Mark has to participate in the process that determines that.

That is why the post is so revealing.

It is not really about wisdom.

It is not really about forgiveness.

It is not even really about divorce.

It is about controlling the story.

It is about taking his own stalled legal process and turning it into someone else’s moral failure.

It is about filing for divorce, then publicly acting like he is the victim of a divorce that refuses to happen.

But here is the truth Mark does not seem interested in preaching:

You do not get to file the divorce, fail to comply with discovery, and then blame Tori because the divorce is not finished.

And you do not get to pretend this is a one-time misunderstanding when the record shows a similar pattern with Melissa: file, delay, resist, recast yourself as the victim, and make the woman responsible for the chaos you helped create.

That is not persecution.

That is not betrayal.

That is not spiritual warfare.

That is a man wanting sympathy for being stuck in a process he refuses to properly move through.

Maybe the divorce is not delayed because Tori is afraid.

Maybe it is delayed because Mark’s public version of truth keeps colliding with the court’s requirement for proof.

Maybe it is delayed because Facebook sermons do not count as discovery responses.

Maybe it is delayed because saying “God sees everything” is not the same thing as producing everything.

Maybe it is delayed because Mark wants the emotional benefit of being wronged without the legal responsibility of being accountable.

He filed.

He started it.

He chose this path.

Just like he did before.

So if Mark wants to know why there has not been a divorce yet, maybe he should stop asking Facebook.

Maybe he should ask the mirror.
