Taub and Cullen’s divorce was granted in 1994, and despite Taub’s troubling allegations in the divorce filings, Cullen was given joint custody of their children. When he had to, Cullen could skillfully mask his darker tendencies, as The Morning Call goes on to note. Divorce lawyer Seth Levine, who represented Cullen during his divorce, recalled Cullen as a hard-working, likable guy, and a loving father. “I have nothing but compassion for the victims, their families, and Charlie. What I’m hearing he’s done is difficult to believe,” Levine said.

In the period after his divorce, a neighbor of Cullen’s, Karin Ziemba, who also saved him from a suicide attempt around the year 2000, remembered seeing his children’s drawings in his apartment. Since Cullen’s crimes came to light, Taub and Cullen’s children have stayed away from the media. When approached by a reporter in 2003, Taub reportedly said, “Leave my family and children out of it. I have nothing to say.”
