Mother of missing New Canaan woman Jennifer Farber Dulos responds: I’ll get psychiatric evaluation if estranged husband Fotis Dulos does, too
To be clear, [Gloria] Farber has no objection to the Court ordering her to undergo a psychological evaluation if the Court deems it appropriate, Farber’s lawyer, Anne Dranginis, said in a statement Saturday. “Any such order should be reciprocal such that the defendant should likewise be evaluated, and the costs of the same should be allocated between Mrs. Farber and the defendant.”
Dranginis didn’t respond directly to Rochlin’s allegations, saying only Saturday that his motion is a “distorted, self-serving reference to a private, health-related issue that was resolved many years ago, as the defendant is well aware."
“His effort to not only publicly shame Mrs. Farber, but in essence shame any person that has appropriately addressed a mental health issue, sends a poor message to his children,” Dranginis said.
“It is Mrs. Farber who has competently managed their care since the dreadful events of May 24, 2019 have so negatively affected their lives,” Dranginis wrote. “Most importantly, Mrs. Farber has steadfastly demonstrated her devotion to her grandchildren and competence to provide for them financially, physically and emotionally especially since their mother, whose demise is greatly feared, went missing.”
Dranginis also criticized the tone of the motion.
Instead of filing a straightforward motion for psychological evaluation, as is done in countless dissolution proceedings, the defendant’s motion is intended to be salacious and again demonstrates his capacity for cruelty, inability to abide by Court orders and his efforts to publicly shame Mrs. Farber as he did to his wife in the context of the earlier divorce proceedings,” she said.
