BISHOP THOMAS WEEKS WON’T CONTEST BYNUM DIVORCE: Attorneys say he will speak out Friday.

(April 23, 2008)

Attorneys for the minister accused in an assault of his estranged televangelist wife said he will speak out Friday.

The lawyers said Thomas W. Weeks III had held out hope that he and Juanita Bynum could reconcile even after she filed a petition for divorce on Monday, but now he had decided not to stand in the way.

Instead, they say the case would be submitted as an uncontested divorce and could be resolved within 31 days from the date the case started under Georgia law.

The 48-year-old Bynum's divorce attorney, Karla Walker, is withdrawing the divorce petition filed in Ware County, where Bynum has a home, and re-filing the case in Gwinnett County, where Weeks lives.

Bynum is head of a ministry that also includes a gospel record label and successful seminar tours.

The 40-year-old Weeks is head of Global Destiny Ministries, based in Duluth.
