Another update w Dad. I am so stressed and upset.
Rogene (Dad's girlfriend) JUST sent a text that Dad called the Cadillac place for a new set of keys.. she has hidden them and he thinks they are lost which is why he called them.
I feel helpless and stressed I am out here but it makes me feel like or think (rightly or wrongly). why doesn't Rogene just say he is not able to drive and she is not giving him the keys.. why does she text me and just let it happen??
Will call that attorney guy.
leaving for a work trip very soon and find it hard to concentrate on much else w this insanity going on.
I ahd already called the police on this stuff before and they are not able to do anything unless he breaks the law.. removing the drivers license requires a competency hearing. removing the car from the premises requires Guardianship.. if against his will.
another update w Dad

You mentioned your brother. Can he help? Do you have any other siblings that would help?

His doctor can request an investigation. Get him into the doctor, get the dementia "staged" by the doctor (there are some tests), and get the guardianship process started. If Rogene moved out tomorrow, what would you do?

I called the dealership. they are delaying until the end of next week. saying they have to order the correct key thing
Dad is in Wisconsin. .preliminary talk w atttorney says rules are I can not have guardianship if I do not live in Wisconsin. that is the law in Milwukee County. he lives right next to Milwaukee county in Waukesha County. will talk to him today.. (but on my way to airport in 30 minutes for work). VERY STRESSFUL..
thanks AR for DMV info. I downloaded appropriate forms from the Wi DMV and will read over at the airport etc.. but in general they require am assessmemnt to act..

Maybe the doctor's office can call him to schedule a "routine check up" when Rogene is at home. She can make the appointment with his knowledge and drive him to the doctor. The doctor can probably take it from there.
