The part that is good for Alice is that she has been the primary caregiver in the eyes of the law (all of Hollywood has nannies) for most of their marriage and the sole caregiver for a year and a half, with sporadic day visits only in the last several months with a chaperone present. Ioan has a girlfriend who has been more ill than not since moving here. How do you think her health will be impacted if he had full custody? Ioan will be pulled in two directions even if he gets 50 percent custody, as he will continually be on the girls not to upset Bianca because of her health and what stress does to her health and IMO they will act out even more for quite a while. Why? Because Alice has had a lot of time alone with them to damage them even more and cause them to resent Ioan even more. It could take a few years for him to have a really strong relationship with the girls.
Financially? The judge will tell both of them to get a job.
Honestly, this whole saga depresses me. Ioan is still very estranged from his children. They aren't bonded to him anymore (even little Elsie). They are very bonded to Alice. Bianca's health has been very up and down since moving here. Ioan's career is going nowhere right now, which is hard to believe since the industry all over is going strong again. Is he even trying for England or Wales? Then we come to Alice. Blech!!!! She is insane. She is vengeful. She will continue to cause misery and destruction for all of them as she goes down. She is beyond redemption.
There really is never going to be any kind of real happy ending like in a TV show with all of the loose ends nicely tied up, except for Ioan finally getting the house sold this year.
In other words, I feel like I'm watching some depressing drama/horror/black comedy show (depending on the day) that is only getting darker as time goes on.
We can all say the violation of the DVRO will really hurt Alice. It won't help her, but will it hurt her as much as we think and hope for? It's not physical violence. It's social media harassment. So will she get a slap on the wrist because the violation of it won't be taken as seriously?
