There is no common law marriage in Florida.
However, an incapacitated person can get a divorce, the catch is that their guardian must file it or defend it, and in this case, it's the person who would rather kill her than divorce her.
The conflict of interest created by her husband serving as her guardian while living and procreating with another woman (i.e. committing adultery) is mind-boggling. That is probably the most frustrating aspect of this case.
If Judge Greer had kept it clean and assigned a "neutral" guardian for Terri, I think more of us would be satisfied with the result, whatever it is. As it stands, this case is wrong on so many levels!
Could a "Friends of the Court" brief be filed on behalf of Terri, petitioning the court for an immediate divorce?
