Most if not all Tribunals will not even start looking at a Marriage case until the civil divorce is final. I wonder why Cleveland has while the civil case is still in appeal? Second the Catholic Church tolerates civil divorce only when there is a real and necessary basis. To file for civil divorce because one wants to is a sinful act, destroying the family, upsetting the children, etc. Even changing their education enviroment can be harmful to the children.
In my opinion in this situation everything must be done to leave the childrens lives as unchanged as possible. That means that they should continue to be home schooled, live in the home that they know in the routine that they are used to. As much as possible.

While I feel for Bai McFarlane, shouldnn’t this be in the Family Life section of “Catholic Living”?
I also think somebody someplace should audit the Mary Foundation, seeings how its founder has decided to embark on a path not generally acquainted with individuals allegedly consecrated to the Blessed Mother.

Despite breaking up the family by requiring his children to spend half their time in his house and half with his wife, and even though he is seeking to declare that he has no obligations to the woman who bore, raised, and educated these children, Bud has taken the position that he is in full communion with the Catholic Church and is living the life of a Catholic
Well that is laughable!
Having rejected repeated attempts by his wife for reconciliation, Bud left the home and allegedly drained $23,000 from the family’s savings account — thereby forcing his wife to beg him and/or her family to support herself and the four children. Moreover, since he was the working spouse, Bai was left completely dependent on Bud for continued support. As is to be expected, the money was doled out in humiliating dribs and drabs until a support order was put in place by a court.
Sounds like he really is living the life of a non-Catholic!

When I saw the names involved in the case I thought it must be a stunt/test case because the Mary Foundation tapes have been so helpful to me and my friends. It’s very sad news indeed that Bud has seemingly gone off the deep end. I wondered by Bud’s e-message started getting less frequent and disappeared. I suppose there was a lot going on behind the scenes.
From what the McFarlane’s have said about their life story, though, I find it hard to believe that there is any reason for nullity to be found by a diocesan tribunal. Also, since the Church regards civil divorce as something separate from the validity/existence of a marriage, why would the Church have to release a decision before the courts? (as was mentioned, though, seeking divorce without grave cause would indeed be sinful)
I obviously need to say some prayers for the McFarlane family.
