Go to this website devoted to saving Terri, and click on to the timeline. In the first two years (1990—1991), Michael is angelic. When the money arrives from the malpractice settlements as late as November 1992, his angelic nature seems to change by February 1993.

If this timeline is full and complete, then it goes a long way to explain why Michael did not and will not divorce Terri. If the timeline is not full and complete, then a representative of Mr. Schiavo should step forward and give the better version.
