Carl Pavano in court Friday over restraining order as ex-wife wants him out of their CT home.BRIDGEPORT — Former New York Yankee and Fairfield resident Carl Pavano and his attorneys could respond to abuse allegations lodged against him by his ex-wife at a court hearing scheduled for Friday morning.The two sides are due to appear at the Bridgeport Judicial District Courthouse before a judge who will hear arguments regarding post-judgment motions in the couple's contentious divorce, as well as a request from the athlete's ex-wife, influencer Alissa Pavano, to kick him out of the home the two still share on an alternating schedule to parent their children.Advertisement Article continues below this ad Exhibits Alissa Pavano intends to introduce in the case include police reports from nine calls to the home during the divorce as well as pictures of threatening notes, guns and screenshots of menacing text messages, according to court filings.A judge ruled in December as a condition of the couple's divorce being finalized that Carl Pavano, who owns the home, as well as four others in Connecticut, Vermont and Florida, according to court records, was obligated to buy his ex-wife a $1 million house of her own within six months.That specific term came from a prenuptial agreement Alissa Pavano signed in 2011, but is now asking the state's Appellate Court to invalidate.Advertisement Article continues below this ad Want more New Haven Register?But in the time since, Alissa Pavano has alleged in court documents that her ex-husband, with whom she shares three school-aged children, has subjected her to behavior that included urinating in shampoo bottles in her private bathroom, leaving her bed linens soiled by his sexual partners, installing hidden cameras, vandalizing her property, leaving firearms in her bedroom, and coming home late at night to turn on bright lights and loud music.On April 29, Alissa Pavano said in an affidavit, Carl Pavano broke into her locked closet, scattered her property throughout the home, and installed a keyless lock on her bedroom door.That night, she said he "taped up to letter in my personal office that said, 'goodnight mommy.'" "I know that these letters were intended to communicate a physical threat to me, and as a result, I no longer feel safe in the home," the affidavit said."All of the above demonstrate Carl's continuing and escalating efforts to threaten me and to exercise coercive control over me, for which I urgently request immediate relief."
