Fotis Dulos Crossed State Line Into New York: Sources
The estranged husband of a missing New Canaan mother Jennifer Dulos crossed state lines into New York on Monday, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation, which could be a violation of the conditions of his release.
A hearing will be held at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in Stamford family court at the request of Michael Meehan, a Bridgeport attorney and court-appointed guardian at litem for the five Dulos children.
In a motion filed Monday, Meehan has accused attorney Norm Pattis of violating a court order that sealed a recent custody and psychological evaluation that was done on Fotis and Jennifer Dulos and their five children.
The motion states Pattis, who is representing Fotis Dulos in his criminal and divorce cases, violated the order with statements he’s made to the media.
“As the court is well aware, this is a matter that has received significant public notoriety,” Meehan stated in the motion. “Based upon information and belief, there are quoted statements by Attorney Pattis about the report, which have been disseminated or published in written and electronic form via the media, which if true, are in direct violation of this court’s May 9, 2019 order.”
It said the order was made “to protect the emotional and psychological well being of the minor children.”

On Tuesday, Jeffrey A. Tremblay, the former head of school at Renbrook School in West Hartford where the Dulos children went for several years before moving to New Canaan, refuted the theory that Farber Dulos would abandon her children.
“Jennifer was warm, smart, gracious, and an awesome parent and advocate to her children. I would stand outside each morning when she’d drop her kids off and talk with her everyday before shaking her kids’ hands,” Tremblay said in an email. He is now the head of the Levey Day school in Portland, Me.
“She was so attuned to them and them to her. They had such a love about them,” Tremblay said. “People need to hear more about Jennifer’s role as a mom, and her love for her kids and her life. She’d NEVER ever leave them.”
The office of Norm Pattis did not say where FD went into New York, but said his probation officer knew he was leaving CT.
FD is required to wear a GPS monitoring device and stay in Connecticut.
Pattis released a statement on the incident saying, “Apparently while traveling in Western Connecticut, FD inadvertently crossed state lines on a country road. The court was informed. No one seems too concerned about it. Unfortunately, roads twist and turn, sometimes crossing state lines.”
"On Wednesday, a status conference in the custody battle for the children of missing New Canaan mother Jennifer Dulos will take place."
...
"The status conference will happen at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday in Stamford."
FD arrives at Stamford Superior Court. He wants custody of his 5 children. His attorney, Norm Pattis filed a motion, asking the court to unseal a Custody Study from the divorce [w/ JD] action as necessary to prepare FDs' defense.

Attorney for Jennifer Dulos, Reuben Midler, said he was “just appalled” by what’s gone in with this sealed report. He said this is a family case, not an opportunity for the defendant to establish a criminal defense, which is what he’s trying to do. @News12CT

Most interesting thing out of court—Norm Pattis said Fotis Dulos is willing to waive his fifth amendment right and speak with the state’s attorney about Jennifer’s state of mind before her disappearance. @News12CT

Family court status conference in Dulos divorce case is over. No decisions or discussions about custody of 5 kids. Focus was on sealed psychological evaluation in custody case. Attorney Norm Pattis acknowledged he violated judge’s order but said he was unaware of it. @News12CT
