Then she was in an excellent position to object to the restraining order that prevented her from seeing or holding her child. She has not been charged so she should have no fear of the inevitable questions regarding fitness. SOP.
But the FACT is that she did not contest it. She didnt. There is no way getting around it. And now she wants to see and touch her child-naturally she does. But she still doesnt want to answer standard evaluation questions that would be asked of her to do it. Because somehow this would jepordize her in the criminal case.
I do not get why this is not a problem for everyone, but that is OK because we all have differing opinions and experiences.
Why should she be so afraid of questions, especially if they would ensure her recapturing her role as primary caregiver to her child? Most of the time, a tie goes to the mother especially one who has been a primary caregiver. But we are going to be approaching a threshold soon where Kaine can use that argument too.
The fact of the matter is that she has been advised not to cooperate with the standard evaluation, and she is going to appeal to a judge for relief. Fair enough. I am fascinated to see how the judge rules.
ITA and me too. I don't get this notion that she's fighting for her child. Not willing to answer questions or take an evaluation because of something she hasn't even been charged with is not fighting for her child, it's CYAing TH. Asking KH and his lawyer several times with an RO in place (meaning they can't say yes even if they want to) is not fighting for her child, it's just making TH look better. Letting three or more months go by before doing anything about the custody situation, which can't be dealt with anyway for another three months if I'm understanding it correctly, is not fighting for her child, it's again, just a strategy to benefit TH.
I just don't see any real fighting here, no fighting at all. I see a woman who's obviously guilty and wanting to protect herself and try to make herself look good in a divorce case. Even if she's innocent by some small chance, she's still not fighting to see this child, and that should worry people. Wouldn't an innocent person put themselves through hell no matter the consequences to see their child? Surely an innocent person would not hide behind a lawyer and their rights, foregoing the health and welfare of their child, and lamely ask to see that same child. I don't see a third party expert having the same weight with a judge as the mother on the stand, crying and begging to see her child. Yet TH refuses to do even that, and how in the heck would that incriminate her in Kyron's case? That would only make her look better, yet she refuses to do something small and unconnected to Kyron like that.
TH calls herself baby K's primary caregiver, yet is surely not acting like it. We don't even know if she really was taking good care of baby K either. We don't know what kind of bond is there or if there even was a bond. People thought Caylee Anthony was well taken care of and loved by her birth mother, and now's she dead at her birth mother's hands. Just because a woman gives birth, doesn't mean they're mother material or love the child they gave birth to. And with baby K doing so well without her mother, that, to me says that there wasn't a great bond between mother and daughter to begin with. And how dare she call herself baby K's primary caregiver when she's hasn't been going on four months now and won't be for at least three more months. That's not primary caregiving to me.
Baby K is obviously secondary to TH's needs, and that's unfortunate. TH will always be her mother, and when she looks back on this divorce case and sees how her mother spent more time defending herself than baby K, I'm sure that's going to cause a lot of hurt feelings.
TH should be fighting tooth and nail for her daughter, but sorry baby K, mommy would rather not incriminate herself right now. Maybe she'll see you later if it doesn't incriminate her in any way. That, to me, says volumes.
