I have been practicing law for 25 years or so (Holy cow that is hard to believe!).
Agree totally with this - not unethical, but absolutely an emotional powderkeg. MOO, I hypothesize that Houston thought that unless it can be proven that his son was in on it (remains to be seen), his son will wind up with full and sole custody. I feel like this was some warped belief that he was handing his son a big gift, even as I agree his thinking was likely clouded by illness.
There is certainly a mess left behind. As the surviving parent, the father would typically be the one to get full custody of the children. But I don't think it is going to be quite that simple here. There were already some conditions on his custody, regarding alcohol etc and perhaps some more issues. Mother was petitioning to get full custody apparently and I'd be interested to know what that motion said. My understanding is that the court gave emergency custody to the children's aunt (sister of the deceased mother). I am honestly not sure how this will proceed. Father will have a right to the children but the I suspect the court is going to be very suspicious of him. Regardless, these children will grow up knowing what happened here. I can't even imagine how that is going to affect them.
Have we heard who was being deposed? I'm not sure I have seen that.
From this article, I believe Kelly Houston, the paternal grandmother was being deposed
Thanks for the link, that provided a lot of information I hadn't heard before. So the Dennis was taking the deposition of Kelly Houston, the grandmother, who was there with her attorney. About three questions into the depo, Houston started shooting. Wow.
This might explain why Dylan, the son, was not present, as he was not needed for the deposition, but his email to Dennis five days before the shooting sure sounds threatening and like he knew what was to come, doesn't it?:

I have a friend who makes appearances for uhmm... "contentious divorces" as a child advocate. In urban areas, everyone goes through a metal detector for meetings etc.
The email from Dylan certainly doesn't look good, plus it was sent at something like 1:30 a.m.This might explain why Dylan, the son, was not present, as he was not needed for the deposition, but his email to Dennis five days before the shooting sure sounds threatening and like he knew what was to come, doesn't it?:
"Five days before the shooting, Dylan Houston, who is also an attorney, emailed Dennis Prince, 'You have no idea what’s coming do you, all your cards are on the table and I haven’t played one [laughing emoji],' according to documents the 8 News Now Investigators obtained."

I just hate that this schlub will probably get full custody at some point. The texts he sent his ex-wife were so vile and the fact that he had no qualms doing cocaine and drinking while he had the kids is infuriating. The judge is supposedly adament that the children's interests should come first but as we've seen time and time again, children are often failed by the court system's insistence on giving custody to unfit parents.Las Vegas judge gives father partial custody, orders firearm surrender after law office shooting

I definitely noted that as well. I have my own opinion about those types of situations, but won’t say anymore.
I personally find it a troubling that DP, the attorney representing his own wife in the custody dispute, refused to respond to the question from JH. It just seems disrespectful and very unprofessional. Of course that was no reason to commit murder.This might explain why Dylan, the son, was not present, as he was not needed for the deposition, but his email to Dennis five days before the shooting sure sounds threatening and like he knew what was to come, doesn't it?:
