I think he is one scared little man. As much as I do not like Jon, my prayer for him is that he not get too desperate in that he could be a danger to himself or others. That does happen...too often.

It sure looks like Jon is trying hard to be the most hated man in the US. I hope Kate's lawyers stick it to him. All that jet-setting he's been doing is expensive.

That joint acct should of been closed the minute they decided to part way. Technically the money is his too isn't it? They both made money from the show. I wonder if he got wind of something and that's why he did this? These two really need to keep this out of the public eye.

"And for all anyone knows, maybe he got wind that she was going to pull all the money out. We just don't know what prompted him to do it." I can guess what prompted him to do it...once again, he's trying to show Kate and everyone else that he has control. If she needs money, he wants her to beg him for it. I think what he did is disgusting. I highly doubt he's going to use the money to buy groceries. Probably needs it to pay his bar bill. "That joint acct should of been closed the minute they decided to part way. Technically the money is his too isn't it? " According to TMZ, there was a court order in place stating that no money could be taken out without approval of both Jon and Kate. So if he did do it, it would be in violation of a court order.

I don't think.. "I thought she was getting ready to do something illegal like steal all my money so I figured I would beat her to it and illegally steal all her money first." will go over big in court. But I am not an attorney so could be wrong. Besides if he really thought that then PERHAPS, MAYBE he could justify taking his half... not all of it.

Good grief - how much money are they spending on lawyers? SERIOUSLY!! Here's the letter Kate's "pit bull" ($$$$) lawyer sent to Jon's lawyer - http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_documents/kate_jon_gosselin_doc.pdf tmz.com

Ouch, I gotta think that Jon is downing a few tylenol tonight and regretting his choice of attorney. Singer says Heller has done this before, citing a New York Supreme Court decision which says Heller directed one of his clients in a divorce to "withdraw everything that's in the bank" so the money could be used to pay his fee. Pay his fee? That's his priority in helping Jon? I think we all read this man's (the attorney) character correctly from his appearance on Larry King. Jon thinks he is being so assertive now and showing Kate who's boss but all he has done is change his puppeteer. Before it was one loud-mouthed spouse.. now it's a fame-hungry girlfriend and a seemingly sleezy attorney.

Also, I suspect since that letter is from LA lawyers that TLC is wading in on the fight.

OMG, that is just too much. Withdrawing the money?! Jon is outdoing his own bonehead movies, one after the other. Wow. And lawyers wonder why they get a bad rap. But lets set the record straight -- Jon did not call the police. Kate did. She admitted so on TV (Larry King or The View) and admitted that her behavior that day was wrong.

TLC is going to fight all the way for Kate which is pretty disgusting. This is going to get so nasty it's sad because those kids really don't need to see what is going down between their parents.

TLC is involved in their legal divorce proceedings and filings? I missed that.

Remember though Kate called the police because Jon picked up someone at a bar to "babysit". They already had an agreed list of babysitters. She was told it was civil and could not enforce the agreement through the police. I'm glad TLC is backing Kate and hope only the best for her and the kids.

Attorney's past record Heller was admitted to the practice of law in New York in 1969. The case against him was brought in 1993 by the state's Judicial Department when he was charged with an astounding 38 violations of department rules regarding conduct. The court found "a pattern of misconduct involving misrepresentation, deceit, abusive treatment of clients, fee gouging, neglect and willful failure to return unearned retainers to his clients." The violations occurred between 1989 and 1992 and involved 12 separate clients, the document asserts. Heller was ultimately found guilty of 18 violations, and was suspended from 1994 to 1999 ...rest at link

I would certainly think TLC has reason to have legal proceedings (breach of contract, at minimum, I would think) against Jon, and highly doubt that they are participating in the divorce proceedings. And the very old news about Kate being barred from the house. The AGREEMENT was that they would both approve babysitters and Kate had found out that the "babysitter" that night was not on the list. Jon chose to not let her in and while she called the non-emergency police. She didn't violate anything to my knowledge, going no further than the gate, where Jon entertains the paps.. The letter from Kate's new attorney has interesting and damning points to make, especially the past history of Jon's attorney to inflate what the client might expect to get, and advising a client to remove all money from the bank account so as to pay Heller's retainer.. whoa.

Kate calling the cops is old news, but people are still mistakenly thinking that Jon was the one who called them as was posted at 10:59 on this thread today. Just trying to clear that up. Jon did not call the cops on Kate.

http://www.avvo.com/news/new-lawyer-to-represent-jon-gosselin-in-divorce-court-463.html# New Lawyer to Represent Jon Gosselin in Divorce Court Monday, September 21, 2009 at 03:31 PM A well-known reality TV father is now being represented in a divorce settlement by a high-profile attorney. Jon Gosselin, who gained notoriety by starring on the TLC reality television show, Jon and Kate Plus 8 sought a new lawyer after his prior counsel asked to withdraw from the case. His new attorney, Mark Jay Heller, gained notoriety during his career for representing infamous clients such as the Son of Sam killer David Berkowitz and Manhattan Madam Kristen Davis, Philadelphia's Fox affiliate Channel 29 reports. Heller immediately began discrediting rumors by Gosselin's former nanny which claimed that she had a sexual affair with Gosselin during his marriage. "The tabloids don't need a stimulus package from President Obama," Heller said this week. He continued that the story told about his client is "sensational regardless of whether or not it is verifiable or true." Gosselin's ex-wife, Kate Gosselin, filed for divorce in June claiming that her marriage, which lasted 10 years was "irretrievable broken." Research by the National Center for Health Statistics reported that in 2008, there were 3.5 divorces for every 1,000 people in the United States.(U.S.) ETA: Ad during TAR tonight saying Jon wants to apologize to Kate tomorrow night on ET on Monday .. not sure if that is post all the crap that happened today or not.

The (sadly misnamed) Learning Channel just needs to pull the plug now. There are plenty more train wrecks of shows for us to gorge on. Hoarders, anyone? Intervention? More than enough human misery to go around.

Kate was saying on the Today show this morning that she paid the bills. I see her as the responsible one. Maybe there was a reason she had to get him to do things when they were married. Can you imagine trying to manage a house that large with all the responsibility on yourself? I still think he got tired of being the dad of so many. He was very young when they had their first set of children. It's not an excuse, though.
