Again, HIPPA laws don't apply to police and wouldn't prevent them from telling whatever it is they want at presser.
And if she has been, there is a good chance that they can't even say that, because HIPPA laws are so strict. Not that that's a bad thing, but it can be annoying for us nosy sleuthers.
I thought, but do not know, that all states appoint a GAL in custody issues. Maybe not all states do?
If she wasn't taking her bipolar medications or her OCD meds, most days were filled with unpredictable chaos for her family. His "nonsensical dysfunction" (as you said) was likely fireman behavior, i.e., he had to run to put out one "fire" after another that she started. Poor man.

Is this state by state? My children were appointed a guardian ad litem after I requested relocation and my ex contested. They were never dependents of the state but an independent assessment was necessary, according to the court, to determine the best interests of the children. Just curious.
Also it's obvious that if Solomon is to be believed now that he lied about/covered up what was going on in the house prior to the split, at least to me it is since no one seemed to know about any of it. Then after the split he comes clean with he mental illness and the abuse and neglect but that's not bashing at that point? Yet Julia telling about abuse that she suffered and it only coming out after the split is obviously a lie? :banghead:
Totally agree...but take the damn matches away. It wasn't changing anything and getting worse. She refused to let the children eat in their own house FGS!!! He kept doing the same thing ...and let many things continue to spiral downhill, ie: house, condo, etc. She was defiant in taking her meds and not helping herself nor the family. She knew her behavior wasn't normal too. IMO, he should have packed up the bags, taken the children and told her to hit the road long before he did. Tough love is just that... Maybe if he had documented his complaints with pictures (no food in frig, everyone sleeping on the floor in the living room, etc) it would have gone much better for him in the courts. Maybe he tried to hide it all in secrecy for her sake or his own bravado ...and it ended up not helping him at all. Maybe it was fear...for some reason?
IDK, maybe he had a not too bright lawyer...or he refused his lawyers advice and it's apparent CPS and the courts let him down....but he let it go too long.....and I can't help but think he may have issues of own...whether he made the decision intentionally or just not seeking help. Something was hinky with his decision making to let it get to the point it did. It's such a tragedy.......and the train derailed. I'm hoping this is exactly what LE is doing in their hesitancy....waiting for her to go off track again. (if she's not in a controlled environment already)?:sigh:
