... is apparently living in Cleveland now. She's being represented by Margaret Wong. Margaret Wong is good. I wonder how this will turn out.
The Plain Dealer has the story.

So will he try to help her, or leave her to her own devices?

It's a no win situation for him either way-if he helps her someone will say it shows favoritism, if he ignores it, then he's accused of not helping family.
A bit of a sticky wicket.

Tough situation either way...a get out would be to offer to pay legal fees and let the courts decide maybe?

Legally he can't help her - he doesn't have that jurisdiction.
Whether he wants to help with her legal fees is his own business - but unless he actually knows her and has a relationship with her I can't imagine why he would.
