The war of words in the family drama surrounding ailing
radio legend Casey Kasem was renewed Monday in court papers filed by his wife
in response to efforts by three of her husband's children by another woman to
establish a conservatorship over the 81-year-old deejay known for the national
syndicated show "American Top 40," according to patch.com.
Ahead of Tuesday's scheduled probate court hearing,
attorneys for Jean Kasem again attacked the motives of her husband's children
from his first marriage.
"These children single-handedly and irreparably
shattered the lives of their father, his wife and youngest daughter, the calm
of their home and their neighborhood by engaging in uncalled for public
demonstrations and personal attacks in the media," Jean Kasem's new court
papers state.
Kasem has advanced Parkinson's disease, and the feud between
his second wife, to whom he has been married since 1980, and his three children
from his first marriage has escalated into demonstrations in front of the Kasem
home in Holmby Hills, where they have claimed their stepmother has been
preventing them from visiting their father.

On Oct. 15, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Roy Paul said
he would need more information about the situation before taking any action and
set Tuesday's hearing date to consider a conservatorship petition by Julie,
Kerri and Mike Kasem.
Paul asked for an independent evaluation of the elder Kasem
by a physician agreed upon by all parties, as well as a report by a probate
investigator.
The siblings sent an email to their stepmother on Oct. 3,
seeking information about the doctor caring for their father, but she failed to
respond, the petitioners allege.
