I don't get it. What intense media scrutiny. I haven't heard about Kyron in months and months.
Is this so Terri doesn't have to go through a deposition? If that's the case, I presume he will never get a divorce.
When will the judge decide enough already! If Terri has information that can lead to finding Kyron, then lets get on with it.

Because of the intense media scrutiny of Kyron's disappearance, lawyers for Terri Horman contend that divorce proceedings between the two cannot continue in a fair manner.
BBM...To be fair, I'd guess they're talking about the fact that a divorce proceeding being delayed made the news. I mean, does that normally go in the newspaper with a picture of the couple?
Yes, it would be nice for Kaine if he could get the divorce finalized. However, on the chance Terri is innocent, how unfair would it be for a judge to decide on custody and division of assets while influenced by the idea that she is guilty?
I am imagining one of two scenarios that could be really bad if this goes forward:
1) Terri is guilty of harming Kyron. Judge rules in the divorce that there is no evidence of that or the murder for hire. He grants Terri shared custody (or maybe more since Kaine has been keeping Baby K from her!) and some alimony. Later evidence surfaces to prove that Terri really is guilty and the judge looks like a moron for giving her access to yet another of Kaine's children. OR she does something to Baby K and the judge looks like even more of a moron.
2) Terri is not guilty of harming Kyron or the MFH. Judge errs on the side of the safety of Baby K and grants her no custody and only occasional supervised visitation. He orders her to pay child support, even though she has no income. Later evidence surfaces that exonerates her completely. Judge looks like a moron for letting rumor and media coverage determine a divorce case and putting the final nail in the coffin for this baby's relationship with her mother.
No judge wants to be in either position so, IMHO, this will keep getting put off until there is either some resolution or something that makes it more urgent (i.e., Kaine wants to get remarried, sell the house, etc.).
