Florida law includes provisions by which a guardian can seek a divorce on behalf of an incapacitated ward. If Terri had an honest guardian, such a divorce would have been sought and granted. As Terri's guardian, however, Michael refused to allow such action to be taken on her behalf.
Florida law has procedures by which guardianships may be challenged; the guardians must then justify their actions under oath. Judge Greer initially scheduled the guardianship challenge after Terri was supposed to be dead. When she wasn't killed, he granted a continuance. When the hearing rolled around, Michael's lawyer showed up to say Michael wouldn't appear since Greer hadn't served him in writing. Greer rescheduled for a few weeks out, and again Michael didn't show (because again, he hadn't been notified in writing). Does something not smell funny?
Michael Schiavo stopped going to court in 04 and 05. Why bother when he knew he’d get his wishes? She was murdered and that ain’t no theory.
