Terri Schiavo's parents ask judge to let her divorce husband

VICKIE CHACHERE

Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. - Terri Schiavo's parents asked a Pinellas court judge Monday to allow her to divorce her husband - in either life or death - in a court filing accusing Michael Schiavo of adultery and not acting in his wife's best interests.

The filing was one of a flurry of 15 motions filed by Bob and Mary Schindler as they now have less than three weeks to find a legal way to keep their severely brain-damaged daughter alive.

Terri Schiavo is scheduled to have the feeding tube that has kept her alive for 15 years removed March 18 unless her parents can convince an appeals court to block Michael Schiavo again. Michael Schiavo says he will have the tube pulled because his wife once told him she would never want to be kept alive artificially.

David Gibbs, the Schindler's attorney, said Pinellas Circuit Court Judge George Greer has indicated he will not hear the divorce request and five other motions filed Monday - but that only means that the matters are now on their way to being appealed to the 2nd District Court of Appeal in Lakeland........

There is no common law marriage in Florida.

"Nor should it be a surprise to anyone that a judge won't hear a request by a wife for a divorce when the wife hasn't ever requested a divorce - or have you actually reached the point where you just don't care how it is done, as long as what you want is done?"

You'd think that argument would cut both ways, wouldn't you?

Hey, if you can find a legal precedent for divorce by proxy, anywhere in the USA, we'd all love to hear it. It's a legally bogus motion.

I don't know for certain the answer to your question, but could swear for some reason, because of Florida Law that wouldn't work.

If she said so. Or do you want them to lie under oath if she didn't?

Why would it be a lie? Perhaps Terri has more self esteem than you give her credit for. Would you tolerate this type of behavior from your spouse? You see? It isn't a lie, it is common sense that she would want a divorce. Some say she was through with him before she had her "accident".

Of course, Michael desperately needs to remain in his position as her guardian. This will ensure that she never regains the ability to tell anyone what really happened...and the corrupt judge and legal system is playing along with him.

Justice, my rear end.

Really? And legally speaking, divorce by proxy is covered where? Show me the statute, or in the absence of a statute, precedence will work.

HOMEWORK?

This is America- no one does their homework. They sit their self-centerd, lazy, jelly-filled heads in front of a tube and expext to be informed with "facts" from the likes of Dan Rather and Eason Jordan! God forbid anyone actually read about it or serch for facts before forming an opinion on starving someone to death!

ARG!

I am just as furioous with dribble as you are. I have seen how you and others here have REPEATEDLY given people the facts, but they just fly over it....

BTW- it is against FLorida Statute to file for divorce on Terri's behalf- but hten again- why should it matter- not like Judge Greer is too worried about MANY STATUTES!!!

Thing is Terri would surely ask for a divorce from MS if she could knowing he is living with another women, and having children with her. Even if Terri was to get better Michael wouldn't stay with her. So, I think a judge should conclude that a divorce is granted because of Michael already being "married" to someone else!

You better believe Terri would ASK FOR A DIVORCE under these circumstances. Has anyone TOLD HER that Michael is living with another woman?? I think she OUGHT TO BE TOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrong, all 50 states have adopted no fault divorce.

However, even if there were grounds, show me a state that ever allowed divorce by proxy.

Do you know any able bodied woman who would remain married to her husband under such circumstances?

NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!! Terri CAN'T speak or I KNOW SHE WOULD tell ALL!!!!!!!!

If she didn't say it, it would be a lie to say she did. I know that may be a complicated concept, but think hard on it and maybe you'll get it.
