Ricky Holland Vanished

The Lansing State Journal online edition reported today that Tim Holland filed for divorce from his wife Lisa Holland. He filed the papers on December 15, 2006. He asks in the filing that their property be divided and that she retains her maiden name of Taylor.

I am not surprised that this marriage is ending in divorce; it is just too bad that Tim did not file for the divorce before Ricky was murdered.

It really frosts me, although I should not be surprised, that Tim Holland is just asking for their marital property to be divided between the two of them. I think the right thing for him to have done considering he will be serving at least the next 30 years in prison was to ask that their marital assets go towards Ricky’s burial, perhaps a memorial fund, and to pay Ingham County back for the search for their son. If there is anything left after that then the remainder should go to a fund for the remaining children.

Some may say why should any money be given to support the children because their parental rights have been revoked. I say it does not matter, at least if he had provided for the burial and the children then he would be showing some sort of real remorse. I guess it really is too much to ask.

There ought to be a law.
Tim and Lisa Holland started their relationship online. They married in November 1997.

Maybe the right thing to do is to force them to remain married for the remainder of their sorry lives.

Tim Holland is serving his sentence  at the Standish Maximum Correction Facility in Standish, MI. He is in protective custody and stays in his cell 23 hours a day. Lisa is serving her life sentence at the Scott Correction Facility in Plymouth, MI.
