Attorney Peter Bunch said Terri Horman is no doubt the focus of the criminal investigation into Kyrons disappearance. He said any testimony or questions about finances that will come up during the divorce proceedings may be used against her by investigators.<snipped>
Terri's attorney wanted the divorce abated, so she wouldn't incriminate herself in any ongoing criminal investigation, her attorneys argued.
Kaine, through his lawyer Laura Rackner, wanted the issue to move forward in a routine way.
Judge Keith Meisenheimer ruled that divorce proceedings will be held until Jan. 6 of 2011.
"Eventually, Terri will have to decide whether or not to plead the fifth, regardless of the timing of the proceedings," Meisenheimer reasoned.
In the mean time, Peter Bunch, Terri's divorce lawyer, said he will petition to modify the custody of the estranged couple's young child, Baby K. <snipped>

Kaine Horman said after the judge's ruling that he was fine with the brief delay.

He said it didn't upset him to see his wife in person for the first time since he left their house June 26. He said he stayed focused on his daughter and his family during the hearing. He declined to comment on whether he would want Terri Horman to be allowed any parenting time with Kiara.
During the hearing, Bunch corrected Rackner, who suggested that Terri Horman's son J was living with his father. No, Bunch said flatly, J is living with his mother.

"It isn't based on any new information, it's just again to be thorough in our investigation," said Lt. Mary Lindstrand with the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office. "The message is, again, if someone out there has information about Kyron and his disappearance, we would like you to come forward so we can resolve this investigation and bring Kyron home."
