so he didn't HAVE to have a court order to move her, nor did he have to notify her parents.
Of course he didn't, nor would it make sense to tell them, given their opposition to the treatment he was giving her. Moving her from the home to a hospice was him basically saying "it's time for you to die." They would have opposed it obviously. It wasn't illegal, but I think the implication is that it was very rude and intentionally so.
My point is getting lost in the side issues here. He lied in court, he'd already betrayed his marriage when he did so, and his false dedication makes him a prick in my book. I couldn't care less how much money he made or lost in the process, or what Terri's actual chances of recovery were. When someone says in court to a judge, or at a wedding to someone's family, that they intend to stay with their spouse for the rest of their life, that's a vow, and not something to be casually discarded when keeping those words becomes inconvenient.
