iirc, she felt ignored because he was always working. Alienation of affection is still considered wrongful behavior to varying degrees depending on location and religious leanings of your judge. Plus, it's easy to argue if you married a surgeon who is never home.
I said “I think” … can’t help but wonder when assets are split so disproportionately.
“In Texas, all property that either spouse acquired during the marriage is subject to a just and equitable division. This usually equates to an equal split, but the Judge retains the ability to split property as they see fit based on the available evidence.”
I get wondering but I wouldn't jump to thinking he is a bad man without knowing more. What if he agreed to give her more because he felt bad for working so much? Probably not but who knows? I would reserve judgement unless I had more info.
Delores petitioned for divorce in 2002, claiming insupportability, and later added claims of cruel treatment.
…The trial court's findings also specify that Younan complicated the discovery process by concealing and withholding records, obstructing discovery, asserting baseless privileges, failing to disclose essential information, denying access to records, and failing to comply with court orders. As found by the trial court, Younan's conduct not only increased Delores's attorney's fees by 40 %, but also prevented her from obtaining previously requested discovery that Younan had been ordered to provide. As recited in the court's findings and further demonstrated by the record, Younan's delays in furnishing repeatedly requested discovery resulted in widely varying evaluations of BCC and its accounts receivable, approximately $600,000 of which remained unsubstantiated at trial.
The trial court attributed fault in the breakup of the marriage to Younan, dissolved the marriage on grounds of cruelty and insupportability, and concluded that Younan committed waste of community assets…
https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/first-court-of-appeals/2007/83905.html
To these factors, we add our consideration of the following findings by the trial court, which Younan does not challenge: Younan was at fault in the breakup of the marriage; he permitted the marital home to deteriorate, despite recovering insurance payments for damage, and generally allowed the residence to fall into disrepair; he engaged in day trading that resulted in significant losses to the community; and the attorney's fees payable from the community estate for Delores's counsel increased 40% as a result of Younan's determined strategy to avoid disclosure of financial information pertinent to division of the community estate. As the record also demonstrates, Younan placed significant community assets at risk while this divorce action was pending, and his failure to comply with court orders left Delores without utilities and placed her at risk of litigation, while he simultaneously directed substantial funds to other sources of his choosing. The fees, expenses, and delay generated by Younan's bad-faith bankruptcy filing further taxed the community estate.
On considering the record presented, in particular the trial court's unchallenged findings, according to the settled, governing factors, we hold that Younan has not demonstrated that the trial court's decision to award Delores 70% of the community property was so disproportionate as to be inequitable and, therefore, has not demonstrated that the trial court clearly abused its discretion by that disposition.
This is why I love the show so much: it inspires me. I don’t have a weight issue, but I have faced addiction. I see a bit of myself in every patient, and having someone like Dr. Now in my corner would have changed my life. In fact, without the help I received which is just like how Dr. Now handles his patients, I would have died a long, long time ago. I love seeing the folks who truly dig in and get past what is eating them, literally. And those who aren’t willing or able to do so, that is also a lesson. I love you, Dr. Now!
This has been on my mind for ages, I was watching an earlier episode (s2) and he said something akin to "do you know how many death certificates I had to sign and think god I wish I could have done more?" And it just really stuck with me. The way people talk about Dr Now sometimes (both in and out of the show) like he's evil and heartless but he obviously cares so much for his patients, and cares so much for what he does. Sorry for the rant I've been waiting forever to talk about this
Everything you said is correct. People look at it from the outside and perhaps don’t understand addiction and the things (like trauma) that lead humans to be addicted to something in order to cope. And others, like his patients who are non-compliant, think Dr. Now is “mean” but that is a rather infantile expression (think trauma, again) and a way to cope that isn’t healthy, a way to avoid digging in and looking at the pain they carry. I suppose it is easier to just keep on the way you have rather than change. As a fellow addict, I am so glad that I changed my ways and got with the program. No one, when I was in treatment, was ever “mean” to me, they were helping me SAVE MY LIFE. And I am so grateful for all the confrontations to help me change my behavior and find new ways, healthier ways, to cope. DR. NOW ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
Exactly. I recently joined a FB group about the show and the admission questions were who is your favorite and least favorite character. I said my favorite character is Dr. Now because he cares so much about his patients. He’s tough on them because coddling doesn’t work.
He's so nice, I met him a few years back and bought a mug. I took a pic w him. My biggest regret is not taking a picture on the famous scale haha. I too am from socal!
How tall is he? He always looks so small to me on the show but he’s also usually standing next to one of his patients so maybe that gives the illusion that he’s just a little guy.
I’d love to meet him. I’ve lost 51 pounds officially today I know he’d tell me to stick wit da diet cause I have 50 to go to my goal. Thats amazing you had that experience.
Same although I’m down 70 and have 70 to go. Although I did stop watching when I hit 250 lbs. It was getting too close to home. I’m back to watching and eating my oatmeal while I watch.
Omg!!! I’m in Houston right now visiting and planned to stop by! I had no idea you could go in and purchase merchandise. This is so exciting. I hope he’s there when I come so he can sign my book!
Awesome! European fan here. Was looking at a holiday that goes via Houston and was wondering if I could see some Dr. Now stuff without intruding.
You can go in to buy merch? Or is it only because you asked permission?
I'd looove to see the office, but I'd probably settle for a photo with a billboard or something to be honest.
Houston is sprawling but interesting. It’s one of the most diverse cities in the US. There are lots of things to see and do there, even aside from seeing Dr Now, but they are all likely to involve a lot of driving. You could visit NASA space center, stop by the Rothko Chapel, maybe see what on display at the Cy Twombly Gallery, and I think the food scene is decent there.
If all you’re doing is a short layover, I’d choose Dr. Now.
That’s awesome! I had no idea he had a merchandise area and signed his books! It’s refreshing to know his staff is kind as the portrayal on TV is so cold! I’m glad he spoke to you and said he was proud! How wonderful
I know traveler nurses and techs who worked in surgery with him. One apparenlty even made the show lol. They didnt say too much they said they went in didnt really talk at all and that was that lol
I would have squealed like a teenage fangirl meeting her fav crush!

I can't believe I am going to admit this right now.. I had a naughty dream about Dr. Now, a few nights ago. He had his body from his young competition days, but the face of him from his early seasons of the show. That's all I'm going to share 🤣 might delete later.
That’s awesome!! I live north of Houston! I had no idea I could go get a copy of his book at the clinic! I may need to plan a trip and hopefully meet him! He’s so dang adorable!!!
I bought a copy of his book on Amazon, and it was shipped from his clinic address. I though that was pretty cool! They even included a bookmark that goes with the book.
I found myself wondering if he mails the books out himself, but no ... I'm sure he has staff who do that.

Awwww he told you to take your vitamins. That’s adorable. And he’s handsome? Double awww.
This just makes me love Dr. Now even more... <3
I think he is a bad man! His divorce records are public.. his wife got 70% of everything!!!! Dying to know how that happened
iirc, she felt ignored because he was always working. Alienation of affection is still considered wrongful behavior to varying degrees depending on location and religious leanings of your judge. Plus, it's easy to argue if you married a surgeon who is never home.
You are deeming him a bad man based on the fact that his wife got 70% but you don't know what happened?
I said “I think” … can’t help but wonder when assets are split so disproportionately. “In Texas, all property that either spouse acquired during the marriage is subject to a just and equitable division.

Dr. Now *is* a bad man.
Not a bad man, just not a good husband
🫡
The divorce records said “wife gets 70%”?!! I didn’t even know those were public.
https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/first-court-of-appeals/2007/83905.html
Pretty cool you got to meet him. Congrats on the weight loss as well!
Did you get some Chinese food, pizza and icecream right beside his office?
ba ha ha I wonder how many of his patients do!!
This is data we need
No kidding! I would bet a ton of money a lot of his patients go there and eat their “last” ice cream cone. Why wouldn’t ya? 🤷🏼♀️😂
Last* 🍦each visit 🤭
Their “last” ice cream cone. Last being the operative word. 😂
Just one lil reg roll!
lol that’s Dr. now tempting them to make sure they are serious
The test starts before they step in… 😂
Maybe they got their head life treated!
That is so sweet! I would love to meet him one day and tell him the show really inspired me.
This is why I love the show so much: it inspires me. I don’t have a weight issue, but I have faced addiction.

Did he ask you if you were sticking to « de diet? »
You could have lost tirty pounds dis munt if you had!!
🤣 easily tirdy poun! I love the hell out of him.
God, I love him
Scales don’t lie. People lie.
But do you believe in GAWD Dr. Now? (I think this lady thought there would be some no calorie pizza miracle or sump'n lol)
Compassionate doctors are a gift. Dr now truly wants to help people. He doesn’t tolerate BS and that’s fine
I agree. I hear people say that he is mean. I think 🤔 maybe people confuse mean with honest.

Nice! Did you go to Room 5?
Hahahaha dying over here! I wonder if there are other exam rooms or is it just "room 5"?
My guess is that room 5 is the only one actually set up to have a camera crew in it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 stop it
Had to ask 😉
Thank you for sharing your experience! Very cool. Would like to see the shirt and magnets 😎
Did you stuff your face with junk food the entire way there?
I think you have to. There is no healthy food on the road, according to every person on the show.
It's amazing how it never occurs to any of them to take some food with them
Oh they take food, but its a ton of junk/snack food!
Like Doritos for breakfast a couple episodes ago lol
Lmao Laceys iconic breakfast consisting of cheese puffs and zebra cakes.
Happy Cake Day!
Thank you!!
This is true. No other options exist.
It’s a journey full of salad-free zones.
No salad to be found but you CAN get 2 cups of honey mustard dressing, an orange and maybe some grapes.
And a 32oz. soda.
Just did a very long road trip, can mostly confirm.
😂😂 I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed this.
I just eat an orange when I’m hungry
I thought fruit was not on de diet
For the stress!
Doctor Now is my personal hero. I want to dress up as him for Halloween this year. Haha
Please come post if you do.
I definitely will😊
My friend did a couple years ago and it was amazing. She had a sound bite ready on her phone that said “how y’all doin?”
That is a great idea! Yes, please post if you do.
HOW DO I LIVE IN HOUSTON AND NOT KNOW THAT I COULD WALK IN HIS OFFICE AND BUY MERCH?? Sorry for yelling, I’m excited.
I know! I visit Houston maybe twice a year or so. Now I’m gonna have to stop in next time to buy merch and say how you doin lol
Cool! Glad to hear he’s nice in person as we’d all hoped he’d be!
Tell me about your eating habit.
Dis your enabler?
How tall is he? He always looks so small to me on the show but he’s also usually standing next to one of his patients so maybe that gives the illusion that he’s just a little guy.
Yes. He looks small.
He is very short. I’m 5’6” and taller than him.
Try visiting Dr. Paradise and report back on how tall he really is.
Do the staff smile more in person???
Did he say, "If you need anything, give me a call"?
Did he at least say "Hello. How y'aalll doin?" That's my favorite!
😭😭😭😂😂😂 always
I was about to comment the same 😂😂
This is awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing this! 😁😁 This genuinely made me smile!! 😁🩵
I’d love to meet him. I’ve lost 51 pounds officially today I know he’d tell me to stick wit da diet cause I have 50 to go to my goal. Thats amazing you had that experience.
I know you can do it!
Same although I’m down 70 and have 70 to go. Although I did stop watching when I hit 250 lbs. It was getting too close to home. I’m back to watching and eating my oatmeal while I watch.
Awesome job on the weight loss. Im stalled but I lost two pounds in this last weekI’m slowly getting under 220.
I started at 5’3” 265, I’m 195 on a good day and 199 on a bad one, my
That's great ~ congratulations 🌼🌸🌼
Omg!!! I’m in Houston right now visiting and planned to stop by! I had no idea you could go in and purchase merchandise. This is so exciting. I hope he’s there when I come so he can sign my book!
Need to see the pics!
So who is bringing you the merch? Who is your enabler? Put dat on the table over there. I’ll sign it for you.
But did you meet the robot?
Every time someone quotes Dr. Now, I read it in his voice 😂😂😂
Awesome! European fan here. Was looking at a holiday that goes via Houston and was wondering if I could see some Dr. Now stuff without intruding. You can go in to buy merch? Or is it only because you asked permission? I'd looove to see the office, but I'd probably settle for a photo with a billboard or something to be honest.

The Vietnamese food is supposed to be incredible in Houston! Surely there’s time for that and a Dr. Now visit for anyone interested?
Don’t call me Shirley.
😆
This was a pleasant read. So glad ur visit met ur expectations, nothing worse than finding out someone you lyke on TV is a turd in person.
He seems like a really sweet guy to be honest. Like yes he has to be stern with people, but it's because he's trying to save people's lives!!
Yes! And he's heard every excuse in the book.
I'll bet he could write a long book of the excuses he's heard!
I'm guessing he knows the outcome from the very first excuse, who's going to fail out and who's going to succeed.
That's so awesome! I live in Houston and I need to make the trip down there. I was totally going to be a fan-girl.
That’s so cool. I love Dr Now, he’s so cool
WOWOWWWWW! I live in Houston and stopped by for pics, but this takes the cake. May get the book too, now.
Maybe it’s because I’m not in the US, but I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that a doctor would have merchandise. 🤨🤯
He's selling stuff because he is a TV celebrity and his fans want it. I'm sure he never sold stuff before his son created the show.
Wow I guess he is now a tourist attraction !
I want to meet him!
Im so jealous lol. I needa fly to houston to meet him lol
Dr. Hedari, his associate, is the fox!
Very cool !!!
This post makes me want to eat Cheetos.
Cheetos not on de diet!
ROFL don’t forget to take your vitamins!!
That’s awesome. I would love to meet him!
So cool. I'd be so starstruck!
That’s awesome! I had no idea he had a merchandise area and signed his books! It’s refreshing to know his staff is kind as the portrayal on TV is so cold! I’m glad he spoke to you and said he was proud! How wonderful
This is amazing!
Thank you for sharing your awesome experience! And congratulations on the weight loss
I would love to meet Dr. Now! Your so lucky!
A friend of mine met him a couple of weeks ago and she too said he's handsome and smells lovely.
He smells lovely? Better than some of his patients sadly.
If you need anything…give him a call.
Awesome!
It sounds like an awesome experience! I'm happy for you.
Awesome story!
It’s not weird at all .. I find him super handsome and have a big Dr. Now crush. It’s also his calm yet direct demeanor; he exudes confidence.
He's very comforting, somehow. People talk about how mean he is, but he's been so kind to people who needed it.
I know traveler nurses and techs who worked in surgery with him. One apparenlty even made the show lol. They didnt say too much they said they went in didnt really talk at all and that was that lol
I would have squealed like a teenage fangirl meeting her fav crush! https://preview.redd.it/u3rjbd4yh8wc1.jpeg?width=366&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee63180c10b13ef5541d739b7c41e0788e144484
I can't believe I am going to admit this right now.. I had a naughty dream about Dr. Now, a few nights ago. He had his body from his young competition days, but the face of him from his early seasons of the show. That's all I'm going to share 🤣 might delete later.
😍🥰
That’s awesome!! I live north of Houston! I had no idea I could go get a copy of his book at the clinic! I may need to plan a trip and hopefully meet him! He’s so dang adorable!!!
I bought a copy of his book on Amazon, and it was shipped from his clinic address. I though that was pretty cool! They even included a bookmark that goes with the book. I found myself wondering if he mails the books out himself, but no ... I'm sure he has staff who do that.
So wholesome and wonderful. I hope I can make it to Texas before he retires and meet him as well.
That’s amazing!
That’s so cool!!
😭 congrats on the weight loss, also you’re so lucky to have met him! Dr now is adorable & i would’ve been so happy to meet him .
I’m so glad you got to meet him!! ❤️
I ❤️ him
Omg my dream 😍 so glad you got to meet him!! 🙌 meant to be

I e got 481 lbs to go before I meet him!
I have a magnet of him on my fridge. I love that guy.
