Both teens were at home at the time. Son called 911.
Poor kids.

So sad for his wife too.

This is a tragedy on several levels. The poor children.

I believe his wife was a dentist. The best thing you can do is get out as fast as you can after you file if you're afraid for your life. File a restraining order and take the kids. Men are predators who will kill you while pregnant or going through a divorce. Virginia judges are not pro-women.

Ugh. Another layer of awful.

In Virginia, you must be separated for a year in order to get divorced and you can live in the same house while being separated (if you move you it can be seen by the court as abandoning your claim to the house, happened to my cousin). Reports are that the couple had started this process so I am not surprised they were both still living in the house.

Fairfax made an accusation against his wife earlier this year that she had physically assaulted him. Apparently she had cameras in the house and after reviewing the footage the police determined the assault claim wasn't valid and there was a scheduled upcoming court date re this incident which could be what triggered the current awful events.

There were 2 teen sons in the house. This is absolutely awful.

I hope this is a wake up call to change the law re: leaving the home. It forces women into staying in a potentially very dangerous situation.

That and the 1 year separation. What is the purpose??
Tragic.

There is a lot of kind messages on my conservative Twitter feed, concerned about the children. I like to see that.

This is horrifying. I was just thinking about him the other day in the context of the Swalwell accusations as another politician who was young when the controversies came out and with a family and kids and still has the rest of his life to live after having been rightly pushed off his chosen career path. This is obviously the worst case scenario. Devastating for his wife and children.

Maryland recently shortened their one year separation requirement to six months if there are no children in the marriage. I think the rationale is that the state has an interest in wanting couples to be sure they need to get a divorce before they do? Not supporting this.

Those poor kids. Life will never be the same for them. Keep them in your prayers. I will.

It’s against the law to leave with your kids.

In some states it’s against the law to file for divorce while pregnant.

Law are in place to protect men.
