| Description | The estranged wife of a state representative is prepared to use legislative action to ensure a speedy divorce.
The wife of Rep. Mike Cunningham, R-Rogersville, issued a letter Monday alleging infidelity on the part of her husband and criticizing a state statute that is delaying her divorce. Current statute allows active lawmakers to delay certain court cases during the legislative session.
"(Cunningham's) infidelity has caused much pain and suffering for the two families directly involved and now his use of delay tactics as a member of the Missouri General Assembly has prevented the timely dissolution of our marriage," Neena Cunningham wrote in a letter to House Speaker Ron Richard, R-Joplin. "Many of the victims of Representative Cunningham's actions of infidelity want to move on with their lives, begin a new fresh start and allow for the healing process to complete itself."
Neena Cunningham first filed for divorce from her husband more than a year ago in January 2009. He used state statute to put the divorce proceedings on hold.
Now, Neena Cunningham said she hopes to address the statute in the state legislature. She said she made her struggle public in order to convince a representative to carry the bill. |
