Dr. John Yelenic and his wife separated in 2002, agreed to a divorce and even hammered out a property settlement. But the Pennsylvania dentist was slain the day before he was to sign his divorce papers.
His death set the stage for what attorneys say is a first-of-its-kind request in Pennsylvania: a divorce decree after death.
The dentist's divorce attorney, Effie Alexander, says simply that Yelenic would have wanted it that way. Another attorney who represents Yelenic's estate believes the decree is needed to protect a property settlement an Indiana County judge approved last week.
