well this certainly implies an arrest is coming. the civil and criminal should NOT overlap. the divorce should proceed as an independent issue. but for some reason she is afraid of being under oath. 
Multnomah County Judge Keith Meisenheimer decided this afternoon to delay until Jan. 6 the divorce proceeding between Kaine Horman and Terri Moulton Horman.
The judge called the issues "extraordinary, difficult and complex," and unlike any that's come before state family law court.
He said he had to weigh Terri Horman's constitutional rights with Kaine Horman's interest in a prompt resolution of the custody, parenting and financial matters in the divorce.
He said Terri Horman's lawyers could return to him, if they sought to extend the divorce delay.
Meisenheimer said he was convinced there is a "substantial overlap at least in the relevancy of the evidence" in the pending civil case and the ongoing criminal investigation into Kyron's disappearance.
"Though it's pre-indictment, Ms. Horman has very substantial legal risk in the dissolution case," Meisenheimer said.
"The highest interest in this whole proceeding is to try to find the child alive," Meisenheimer said.
