Gwen, sorry, I disagree. Throughout this case it's been obvious that Kaine selects the bus, modifies the bus to his demands, paints the bus his colors, and drives the bus. I think he's driving this.
And if he can't afford to support himself and children on his salary, when before he could support 3 kids, wife, and self, then perhaps that baby needs to be in a more stable, financially and otherwise, environment.
He's opened a can of worms here. So, if say, her parents gave her the $, and he claims that he's entitled to know where it came from, and entitled to half of it, then voila! He's put his assets on the "half is mine" chopping block, too.
He owns the house in his own name, but Terri took care of it (and did a good job from the photos on her FB) and therefore contributed not only to its maintenance but also to its increased value, so she's entitled to the fruits of her labor, some attorney could argue. In fact, if someone wanted to play KH's game, they could file with the court for a full accounting of his monies--source and where they'rer spent.
In fact, an attorney could also approach the court and given the circumstances ask that a court-appointed auditor be appointed to examine both parties' finances, and a court-appointed trustee to administer use of those funds. It could make for an exciting court session!
If I were that attorney, I'd have another attorney file an amicus curiae brief, from the family law/child protection side of things. Since the monies and sources thereof are in dispute, and KH has alleged in a court document--unless he perjured himself--that he can't afford to care for his child, then someone needs to have overview and partial control of funds on behalf of the minor child, Baby K.
In fact, court-appointed auditor and trustee should be given powers back to the day Kyron disappeared, IMHO. Given KH's allegation of his lack of financial capability to care for his child, someone needs to look after the interests of that child and ensure that monies are accounted for and spent with her best interests at heart.
However, I'm wondering if TH's attorney is sly enough to just sit and wait, and let KH spin out this and that. What kH continues to do is to reveal more of himself, and he also is spinning out information and actions that could be very useful in various courts.
What would be interesting--a court-appointed auditor who found that KH's retirement, benefits, salary made him capable of supporting his child (children), but he submitted a court proffer that was, in essence, a lie.That would really set off sparks.
Right now, the quieter TH and her side keep, the smarter her lawyer looks. And the more she listens to him and stays out of the media, the smarter she looks for listening to her attorney, IMHO. Now, I'm stretching it to call TH "smart", because (personal opinion here) she married KH, the third of three mates that just weren't suitable, and she also married knowing that only he owned the marital home. Ahem.
Sorry for the length, but this is a complicated issue, and I think it has potential repercussions far beyond "I hate TH, yeaaa Kaine!" and the personality issues. At present, TH has not been charged with a crime, so she & KH are equal in terms of marital assets, most especially *his* as he has the high-paying job.
Meanwhile, an aside--the MFH plot. A court-ordered and controlled audit could be extended to later find out if TH suddenly spent a lot of $ about the time the landscaper alleges the plot (if the cops don't already have that info, which they should have by this point). And, how do we know that late appearance of the landscaper wasn't an appearance in this made-for-TV mess, paid for by someone who wanted to discredit TH? Just spitballin' it.
Meanwhile, how about Kyron? How about a plea from parents on *his* behalf? People have raged about TH being concerned about $ when she was tossed out of her home with no job, etc., well sauce/goose/gander. Now KH is the one concerned about $. Sauce/goose/gander.
At this point, none of them are earning any blue ribbons, IMHO. Poor Kyron.
