I have no idea about community property laws in FL, but I think everyone may be forgetting that possibility. for those who can't understand why he doesn't just walk away, it may just be those self same community property laws. Terri may just be entitled to half of everything he owns, including the new house he bought with "his" half of the settlement money. Understand it has a pool and he drives a BMW.

I post on another board and I have been called hypocritical because I support this woman's being allowed to die without being starved to death. But can someone show where it says why she was resuscitated after 10 minutes. That is the arugmenet being used against me to say God decided then that she died but was brought back. I cannot backup any claims otherwise right now!

I seem to remember from another thread that the house is not in MS's name but in the girlfriends name.

I noticed in the article that they mention the crosses he wears around his neck but mentioned nothing about his melting TS ring and making a ring for himself.

I think you are correct. Terri's rehabilitation fund, in a community-property state, would receive half of everything Schiavo owns if he divorced here. That alone is his financial reason for eschweing a divorce. So it is all about the money!!!!

The house and other stuff is in his girlfriend's name.

If you look into some of the extensive research that has been done and posted on the "Terri's Fight" threads, you will find that everything that he "owns" has been put into the girlfriend's name. There is also evidence that he is hiding significant assets.

Very very good point. Florida is a community property state and even though others have commented that he has probably put everything in his girlfriend's name, he still probably has a retirement fund, 401k's, etc. Terry would stand to have half of all of those funds, funds which he CANNOT hide.

Excellent comment and observation!
