2010.06.28 - Kyron's Dad files for divorce and restraining order

[tlcya]

IF the atty has been paid that much, it is definately not to represent her in the divorce. No atty would charge that sort of retainer for a divorce of a couple with such limited assest/net worth. If it were for handling the divorce then she would have every right to use marital assets/funds for that. This amount, if true, is obviously for crimnal representation. I that case, she most certainly should have to pay back any marital monies used for that purpose. MOO

IMO, that's a low blow. I get they have to disclose this information due to the divorce, but asking that she be responsible for half of his fees is just twisting the knife (per the .pdf file posted up thread).

He's not asking her to pay half his fees. He's asking her show how she came into this money so it can be determined if it is a marital asset or not. If so, then he's asking her to give him half of the $350k she somehow acquired, so that he can then use that money to pay his own atty fees.

Also, if her parents gave her the 350k to hire the attorney, it's not a marital asset since, according to him, he vacated the home on the 26th (or was it 24th?) and promptly filed paperwork dissolving their marriage. How can that be fair?

Exactly. He's asking her to show HOW she got that money so it can be determined whether or not he's entitled to half of it or not.

If they are thinking that she sold Kyron and was given this money for him, and that's how she hired this attorney, then bank records would/could prove that.

Not if she was paid cash and gave her atty cash. However, if she gave her atty cash, I would find that highly suspect in and of itself.

But who pays that kind of money when they are not charged with a crime as yet?

Just a guess, but someone who thinks a jury might find them guilty once given the facts that LE is digging up?

I think certainly someone who is 99% certain they are very close to being arrested for an extremely serious crime would...if they were able to lay hands on the cash.

 

[Donjeta]

Lol yea she asked Kaine for money to help her move and yet she has all the money for her lawyer. Go and figure

It makes perfect sense to me... If I had just coughed up 350.000 dollars for a lawyer I would have to beg, steal and borrow for anything else...

But who pays that kind of money when they are not charged with a crime as yet?

It's a huge pile of money for writing a couple of letters and saying, "Keep quiet, don't answer any questions, don't talk to reporters, don't comment". I think it would have to be someone who is very afraid and does not trust their chances at all.

Hypothetical Question: If TH was actually lying, when she told Kaine/Desiree about the $350,000 payment for her lawyer, would she be lying just to be spiteful? To brag, to make it seem like HER high priced lawyer would be a way better lawyer, than they could come at her with?

Why would TH lie to Kaine/Desiree about the cost of her lawyer, if Houze really didn't actually require $350,000?

Possibly to explain or get sympathy for not being able to move out. Not a wise move on her part, IMO, but it's possible.

Or possibly to show herself as well defended, since some people do equate "high price lawyer" with "best lawyer."

Or maybe she was just exaggerating out of hysteria over the situation.

Those are my best guesses, I think.

 

[Wondergirl]

Does anyone think that Kaine's legal pursuit of information regarding the $350,000 (supposedly for the retainer for TH's legal representation), is a way for LE to legally access the transfer of funds that TH has come upon?

 

[tlcya]

You mean another way for LE to ascertain where the funds have come from and at the same time give Terri yet another reason to be a bitter pill for the public to swallow?

Yeppers

 

[Wondergirl]

I suppose Terri may have thought that she could SAY the $350,000 was for her lawyer, and that's why the sum ended up in her account.

She may have known LE would be monitoring the account, but thought she could explain it as $$ for her lawyer.

She may not have thought she would have to LEGALLY be required to explain where the $$ came from.

If she lied about this, and it's possible she did, she takes one more step towards 1) lunacy fringe or 2) brilliantly deceiptful psychopath.

Now I want to know her SAT scores. LOL.

Right. Which is a round-about way of saying "if you really did pay 350k, how did you get it? because you owe me half if it's a marital asset, which I'm then going to use to pay my attorney" basically.....am I missing something?
The .pdf file states he asking for attorney fees.
Reading motions is a hobby of mine. I really could read them all day long and not mind.

But irregardless, IMO, asking for his fees to be paid for him is still, IMO, a low blow. IMO, JMO, MOO, etc., etc..

 

[nas212913]

If it's a joint account, would LE need TH's permission to access it if they just had KH's?
Also, can you get a judge to sign a warrant (subpoena?) getting access to an account that belonged to TH only?

Does that make any sense?

He is only asking for money for his attorneys fees IF, and only IF the money she got is money that could be considered marital assets or liabilities. He has that right. Why should he be stuck paying for legal bills that are a direct result of her bad behavior, when she has access to that kind of mad cheddar? I think what SHE is doing is the "low blow."

Maybe I'm typing in another language....

I know what he is asking. For like, the fifth time, it's MY OPINION that it's a low blow.

I guess I just don't understand where you are coming from. Why is it a low blow for him to ask for help to pay the divorce attorney when she has $350,000 to spend on a VERY high priced defense attorney? He wouldn't need the attorney if she had not TRIED TO HIRE SOMEONE TO KILL HIM! I think she bears some responsibility for him needing to hire the attorney in the first place. Why should she not have to pay? She obviously has the money. :waitasec:

I still want to see the proof of this before blaming Terri for the filing of divorce...

Are you saying she should be convicted in court before he is allowed to file for divorce? What the police told him is not enough for him to feel justified to divorce her?

Remember, we know only a little portion of what LE knows. I don't think they would have told him that if they did not have strong evidence.
