Mary
Kennedy, mother of four and estranged wife of RFK Jr, committed suicide when
she hung herself in a barn this May. Many said she was in the grips of a
long-lasting battle with depression.
A
petition filed last week in Surrogate’s Court in Westchester County
The
petition papers detail RFK Jr’s “scorched-earth litigation approach” that left
his wife cut off from a $20,000-a-month, court-approved credit card, leaving
her unable to buy groceries, gas or even medical care for their son.
“Somebody
living in a fifth-floor walk-up in The Bronx with cash could do more than she
could,” said the source close to Mary Kennedy.
The
petition said, “Unfortunately, the last months of Ms. Richardson Kennedy’s life
were full of daily financial challenges, directly attributable to Mr. Kennedy’s
litigation tactics executed through his family office.”
According
to an agreement made in October, RFK Jr. was to continue paying his wife’s
household and legal expenses. Mary and Robert F Kennedy Jr were supposed to
have a $20,000-a-month limit on a joint credit card, with the bills to be paid
by the Kennedy clan’s money
manager, the Park Agency.
Financially
cutting off his estranged wife was a tactic meant “to squeeze her and
make her panic,” said the source. Cutting Mary off came during a time when many
important issues were being decided upon following the divorce, including
custody and division of assets.
