However, it seems to be more complicated than what you suggest. As I mentioned in my post, the law recognizes that my marriage bond to my wife is more controlling than her bond to her parents. When she married me, she left them and has cleaved unto me. As a result, they have lost whatever authority they had over her.
MS may be a demon and Terri's parents may truly love her, but MS is Terri's husband. How do you terminate his spousal rights and put her back under the authority of her parents?
That's another component of the legal problem that the court is faced with here. In a way it would be simple if it were merely a matter of life and love.
There are laws already in place for that. Conflict of interest can be cause for termination of legal guardianship. The suspicion of foul play and prior abuse would be sufficient. For unknown reasons the judge refused to hear testimony on that.
There was an as litem guardian at one point, which is one recourse to conflict of interest, but Michael's lawyer requested their removal and the judge said 'OK' to that but refused the Schindler's request for a new one without explanation. It seems this judge wasn't interested in using legal means available to him to find the truth, act fairly or seek justice.
By proveing in a court of law that her " rights " have been violated by the husband. Only problem is......the COURTS have THROWN OUT the truth to accept a lie......they haven't even CONSIDERED the truth.!!
