TMZ has learned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adrienne's lawyer went to court and filed a declaration she wrote, in which she claimed Paul picked their 3 boys up from school Thursday. During the ride, 2 of the boys were kicking each other, when Paul allegedly reached back and choked one of the boys around the Adam's apple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a separate declaration, filed by Adrienne, one of the boys told a psychiatrist ... Paul smacked him on his \"wet bare bottom\" because he had peed on his sibling in the bath, and then sent him to the corner for a time-out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The couple's chef also filed a declaration, claiming he witnessed Paul kicking the family dog when it peed on the floor. And a DEA agent who is friends with the couple filed yet another declaration claiming he witnessed Paul putting his hands around the neck of one of the children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neither Paul nor his lawyer were present during the hearing -- they were never told about the hearing -- although we know Paul denies ALL of the allegations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul's lawyer, &lt;strong&gt;Lisa Meyer&lt;/strong&gt;, tells TMZ, \"This smacks of underhandedness. Adrienne wasn't even present when this allegedly occurred.\" Meyer adds, \"It is a sad day when parents have to stoop to the level of making false allegations against another parent.\" Meyer calls Adrienne's move \"gamesmanship at its worst.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
