the person is dying in florida and her husband will not let anyone come to see her. No one knows what hospice and they are receiving no details on what is going on. What can we do.

As bad as it is yes a husband or wife has the right to keep anyone away from their spouse but the issue here is aas much why is he doing it as him doing it. When people are in a hospice it is because they are terminal and only given a short amount of time to live it could be something as simple as it was her request for people not to see her that way or it could be he is selfish and not wanting to share her in the last days she has. Have you minister or a close family friend call the husband and see if he will explain his reasons for not allowing anyone any information and try to work it out peacefuly, if this can't be done then the only thing that you can do is to consult an attorney and see if you can't get "visitation". When my father died in 2000 we kept many family and friends away from him the last month he was alive not because we wanted to but because he didn't want them to remember him the way he was then but instead as how he was before he got ill. I still feel he was wrong and should of allowed everyone the chance to say goodbye but we had to honor his wishes. Good Luck to you and forget the Shivoh case, true maybe her husband put her in that condition, the truth will never be known, but in all honesty can anyone say they would want to live that kind of life for that many years being kept alive through artificial means.

There is more going on here than someone is letting on. And it may not be your attempt at secrecy. It may be his! If he had something physically to do with her being in the hospice then it may show. Others have brought up the Terri Schiavo case. Everyone knows the husband battered her to the point that she was mentally deficient. He tried to keep everyone out and successfully pulled the plug on her. This was a horrible day for our court system when they became accessories to murder. There is also a probability that the family was such a bunch of twerps that she can no longer stand any of them. And just plainly doesn't want to fill up her final hours with such people. Even if they just want to ask forgiveness for everything. My advice get in good with the husband ask him why. If it looks shady, get a lawyer, if it's because of the family, let it go, and learn from this experience.

the husband does have the right to keep her family from her. but i have to ask why he is doing this? i don't think that if everything was going all that well prior to her getting ill. but if you really want to see her, you can petition the courts in Florida, and they can order a visit. but this could take time. call a lawyer asap, because as you know when hospice gets involved that means that there is not much time. also hospice does not have to tell you any thing.

Apparently so, look at the Terri Schiavo case. Her relatives were only allowed in when her husband said it was OK. And that was Florida also.
As much attention as that case got, I'm sure that if it hadn't been legal, some lawyer would have gotten them in without his permission.

Get a copy of her birth certificate from where she was born and confront her with it. There are courts that grant annulments to marriages and deception and fraud can be entered if you feel you were trapped and lied to about her. You can find out about the certificates through the agency who is supposed to be holding them, if the actually are. Result documents are usually released to the person normally if not the actual criterion.

Get a lawyer but not sure how much good it will do. Remember the Shively case? You have my deepest sympathy and I hope everything turns out in your favor. Peace be with you.
