I quote from the above referenced article:
"The announcement marked at least the sixth time Peterson has gotten engaged, and according to a divorce attorney, there's no legal issue with him getting engaged. To remarry legally, the attorney said, all he has to do is file for
dissolution of the marriage.
If his current wife,
Stacy Peterson, who has been missing since October 2007, doesn't respond within 30 days, their marriage is legally over."
Hmmmmmmm....I'm thinking here - why Drew simply doesn't do this (file for dissolution). There must be a reason that has to do with finances....or possibly a future criminal action. Otherwise, it looks like he wants to move on and I don't understand why he just doesn't do it.
However, maybe he doesn't really want to get married - if he goes to prison, possibly the new wife would get control of the finances. By being "engaged and living together," he gets the perks without the obligations and to get out of financial obligations, all he has to do is kick her out instead of murdering her (he recently discovered that it isn't quite as easy as he thought maybe 18 months ago). Just thinking out loud here.....
