<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nina denied his claims that there were problems spending time with their daughter after the split. <br>&#8216;I feel sorry for him as a woman, that he did not have a long-term relationship.

It hurts me a lot from the fact that he will be there. I cried when they showed me the video of him being detained. <br>&#8216;I could not watch him being knocked down on the ground. The fact that he was lying on the ground already hurt me.&#8217; <br>She said he had not agreed when she went to court for a raise in alimony to support their daughter. <br>He had switched from being a bus driver to a technician on lower pay to reduce his payment, she said.</p>
