His divorce attorney says televangelist Juanita Bynum must meet next month with her estranged husband — who is accused of attacking her in a hotel parking lot — to resolve their pending divorce. Randy Kessler said Bynum and his client, Bishop Thomas Weeks the third, will sit down on February 18th for mediation, a shorter and less public alternative to a trial. The date is the deadline set by a Gwinnett County Superior Court judge. Bynum filed for divorce against Weeks on September 27th, about a month after he was accused of attacking her in a hotel parking lot. Weeks still faces criminal charges related to the alleged attack. No trial date has been set in the criminal case, though Weeks and Bynum — along with their attorneys — met roday in Fulton County Superior Court for a status hearing that lasted most of the day. Details of that hearing were not made public. The couple has been estranged since June and has not seen each other in months, since Weeks is barred from contacting Bynum under the terms of his release on bond. On Tuesday, Weeks’ attorneys filed a motion forcing Bynum to give her deposition in the divorce proceeding. Kessler said it was a step she has postponed repeatedly, effectively stalling the mediation process. Kessler said, “You can’t settle if you can’t get together.”Bynum is now scheduled to be deposed the same day as the mediation.
