I have lurked and followed cases on WS for years without comment, until this case.
As far as the divorce/RO thing- I only see 2 options (not saying there are only 2, just that 'I' only see 2)... I haven't heard that there was ever a RO filed before, so it doesn't look like there is history there.
Somehow, magically, today, biodad gets info that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that SM killed Kyron. He is SHOCKED- files immediately in court.
Or
He has known since day one that something was off... possibly even been a part of it, or covered for it. Some fact was going to come out about Kyron's disappearance, and he needed to put some legal distance between himself and the SM.
I'm leaning towards the latter, since I find it very hard to believe that in the 5 years SM cared for his son, and the 2 years she cared for their daughter, that if she was dangerous or abusive he would not have noticed. It looks to me to be a legal tactic.
Sad all around. It implies to me that biodad has known all along that the boy was not coming back, and that if the SM was involved, he knew about it. The only other option is that he's just plain a jerk with bad timing. There are a lot of people like that, but in this case I don't think that's it.
While the child has not yet been found, I can only imagine how this news has made various armchair sleuths happy- that they backed the right horse. Trying to stay on the right side of the TOS, all I can say is that I think it's a good thing that WS is not a gambling site, because some of the commenters seem to me to have a definite 'gambling' type personality.
I don't personally care if the biodad has filed for divorce/RO- the timing is strange IMO (unless he has been living under a rock) and appears to be a legal maneuver, but the bottom line is that I don't care much about any of it, because the BOY HAS NOT BEEN FOUND YET. That's pretty much all I care about.

PORTLAND, Ore. - The father of missing Skyline School second-grader Kyron Horman has filed for divorce from his wife Terri Moulton Horman and was granted a restraining order against her, a source confirmed to KATU News Monday night.
The source also confirmed that Kaine Horman has moved out of the family’s house.
The source said the restraining order is a physical restraining order that is meant to protect the couple’s 18-month-old daughter, K.
Someone mentioned that it would be ironic and maybe scary is Kyron's bio mom was caring for Terri's daughter. Well, I have to say, that no matter what has happened, baby K is a COMPLETELY INNOCENT VICTIM here! I really do not believe that BM would take it out on the innocent baby.
Can you imagine how baby K is handling all of this? She's very used to being w/ her mother all the time since her mom is a SAHM. Baby K must be going through separation anxiety as well. Poor baby!!!
