Ronald has filed for divorce.

[Zephyr]

elle1919, I don't think we need to wait to hear why Ron is divorcing Misty - it's because he believes she's responsible for whatever happened to Haleigh or because she hasn't cooperated with LE. Yeah, right...

I certainly don't expect him to be saying it's because she's not cooperating with his plan to commit the perfect crime. This is my opinion; you have yours. For the sake of everything that's right and just in this world, I sincerely hope we find out that Ron had nothing whatsoever to do with Haleigh's disappearance.

Just my opinion. Don't confuse with fact.

mysticrose, I totally second the asking of that question.

MC allegedly checked in and left her info w LE before leaving town. Maybe Misty better catch the next bus before it runs her down.

arrot:

She did? I am soooo way behind on this case. I sure would like to read what she left.

Unless you have a direct line of communication open with Ronald Cummings I can't understand how you know already if he is truly divorcing Misty and the reason why. I could be wrong though. As you said we both have our own opinions and just because you hold a popular opinion doesn't mean your opinion is correct and mine is wrong. An opinion is an opinion and and I have yet to read one on this forum that has been confirmed as true. I will keep reading though.

Seems to be alot of talking heads on the news reporting this but no Ron ? We will have to wait and see.
Just judging from TN's reaction's or change of demeanor on NG lastnight from a previous stance on issues, I would believe this to be coming down the hatch.
JMO of course

This case just gets stranger by the week....I knew this was inevitable a divorce that is. My question is why now ? What has changed so much from 2 weeks ago where this family staunchly defended her ?
Any takers....

I think they feared the game was up once NG started giving them The Look, saying "It doesn't make sense," and telling Ron's lawyer he was BSing her.

Then they saw the nail in the game's coffin when even Marc Klaas wouldn't buy it anymore and said last week:

MARC KLAAS: "Ironically, it seems like the last holdout, the last person that is really giving her an ability to not go out and tell the truth is Ron, who seems to have become her enabler through this whole thing, Ron and his family."​

They could see that the "enemies closer" claims were recognized as nonsense, as were any pretenses to have been actually buying her story, so they jumped ship. They're counting on no one's believing her at this point if she says they knew anything.

-------------
(ETA: For the record, I don't know what they are hiding, but I don't believe Misty has been the only one hiding something, because I don't believe for a second that they believed her or were keeping her only as an enemy. I think they were both just guilty enough, in some way, of whatever it was, to agree to cover each other.)

Imo I dont think Ron ever wanted to be married to her in the first place; And perhaps he only did it to avoid any stat rape repercussions. Also, if that were the case, someone who marries an underage female with whom the stat rape issue would legally apply, if that person were to marry the girl - I wonder (if length of time is, in fact, a factor at all) I wonder how long a marriage must be sustained in order to get off the stat hook... if that applies, that is.

I mean, iow, marrying someone for, like, two days or some other absurdly short amount of time and then turning aronud and having it annulled probably wouldn't suffice. (I'd think) But IDK; My question is - are there any legal stupulations that would address that possibility? Law is not my thang - so Im asking any attys here or anyone else who knows.. TIA.

Trouble in paradise? The drama goes on. Poor Junior's been thru so much...
arrot:

I know. The kids always get hurt the most in a divorce. I know how excited my step kids were when my hubby and I got married. They kept asking for months when their Dad and I would get married. We've been together now almost 30 years and we are all very close.

I feel sorriest for Haleigh because when she comes home (I'm eternally optimistic) she will be so disappointed, not only did she miss the wedding, but she missed the entire marriage. I feel for her and Jr.

The media, bloggers, and web posters that put out so much nasty information about both Ron and Misty were the kiss of death on this marriage, and not only do they have to pay, but so do these two poor little children. This is exactly what happened in the case of Jaycee Dugard. Her abduction and the focus on her step father as a suspect put too much strain on the marriage. And, of course, it turned out that he was absolutely innocent.

 

[Zephyr]

This is my opinion only. Do not confuse with fact.

Everyone has their own opinions. Far be it from me to tell anyone their opinion is wrong.

I've seen cases cited where the marriage did not get the stat rapist off the hook.

I think he married her for a combination of reasons, including:

• To seal their loyalties
• They thought they wouldn't have to testify against each other
• They thought it would help with the statutory rape problem - if only so they could keep living together.

What says it all are the cold remarks from people who have no idea how much this father loves his children. Is it too much to believe that Ronald might be affected by all the rumors that are being launched about Misty? If his choice to divorce is accurate, how is it that his decision to dissolve his marriage is exactly what many of you have been calling for..... see post here...Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - View Single Post - Teresa N., Haleigh's paternal grandmother #2

snip~ divorce her and kick her out would be a start...~end snip

Just yesterday you gave your opinion of where Ronald should begin and he does what you said would be a start and you still find fault in his actions. Personally I will wait to hear exactly why Ronald wants to divorce Misty, if he does indeed wish to divorce Misty, and I am anxious to hear how LE feels this is going to affect their investigation into the disappearance of a 6 year old child. If appearances are true and Ronald wants to separate from Misty she will be free to move to Canada if she chooses and further more no-one will be able to blame Misty's unwillingness to talk with police on Ronald and Teresa Neves.

Great post elle! Sadly it does not matter what RC does, it will always be wrong in some people's eyes. It seems that when anyone has a child go missing they are no longer allowed to be a human and make mistakes. It's horrible.

I think that all the negative public opinion and stress of Haleigh being missing made it almost impossible for this marriage to last. Obviously, Ron had mixed feelings about Misty. On one hand, hard as it is for some people to believe, he must have really had feelings of love towards her and probably graditude because she did take good care of his kids, and they clearly bonded with her. On the other hand, he had some doubts about her because her story was so suspect. I think he married her because he lost Haleigh, so wanted to cement his relationship with the other person he loved. In a time of stress, that doesn't seem strange to me. (Probably not wise, but not strange.)

But, over time, I'm sure the part of him that had doubts became more predominant and overruled the part that loved and trusted. This doomed the marriage. I'm sure that his mother and grandmother came to this conclusion much earlier, but they had to let Ron get there at his own pace.

The saddest thing would be if it turns out eventually that Misty is telling the truth and truly crashed and doesn't know what happened that night. JMO

Hi mysticrose, I just wanted to comment on what you said about Teresa's Neves change of demeanor. What I saw on NG last night was no change of demeanor. Teresa has been on a downward spiral (my opinion) for quite some time. Pages earlier in her thread I posted a video of her at a vigil for Haleigh around the time of Haleigh's birthday. Misty walked over to Teresa and handed her a flier and the look on Teresa's face said it all TO ME. It looked cold and diverted. Each time that Teresa has appeared on NG since then she has appeared less and less sure of Misty and less and less supportive. I stand by my opinion that there has been feelings of doubt behind closed doors for awhile now and I am very anxious to see if Ronald truly does appear on NG this evening.

Great post elle! Sadly it does not matter what RC does, it will always be wrong in some people's eyes. It seems that when anyone has a child go missing they are no longer allowed to be a human and make mistakes. It's horrible.

What I want to see is the rule book that describes the actions that the parent of a missing child is allowed to take, or the proper emotions and reactions that are "normal" when a parent is missing and searching for their flesh and blood. Everyone must be reading from some sort of handbook because while I have not read one post in the almost 9 months that Haleigh has been gone from anyone who had their child taken from their home in the middle of the night while they were at work trying to earn a living, I have not read one post from anyone that would be able to say what is right or wrong or un-allowed. So their must be a book somewhere where the rules are correct?:waitasec:

God please shine a light on Haleigh and bring all truths into the light.

Ain't that the truth.

Have bloggers coming to my home and taking pictures, follow me around, have bloggers calling my work,have bloggers calling family and friends the WHOLE nine YARDS and You know I give him alotof credit.

Have the internet convict you before your baby even came home and you know what Judge me but I WOULD do ANYTHING and I personal feel that RONALD has and will continue to DO WHAT HE NEEDS to GET HIS BABY BACK! Good or bad if you feel the pain this family is going through thenyou would understand and not judge. I JMO feel for HIM! I think he got the raw deal and convicted before we EVEN know the FACTS! And all he wants is his baby back home. JMO

 

[badme102]

Sorry, but this thread should be called Ron and Misty MAY be getting a divorce. No divorce papers have been filed.
I'm not trying to be a pain, but this is how "maybes" and "could be's" are molded into "facts" that don't exist just yet.

Perhaps when and IF the divorce papers are filed, then the thread can be named as such.

 

[badme102]

Kittylyn, Ron has done nothing to keep his daughter in the news for months. That is a fact.
Where was he from March until August?
Thought so.

Anyway, this is a thread about a POSSIBLE divorce between Ron and Misty, so who thinks that this is a PR move between attorneys?
They can file papers all they want, but until Haleigh is found, and arrestS are made in this case, I call BS on this entire "divorce"...

 

[Patty G]

IF this is true, no big surprise to me. There goes that "family" heirloom.
