Dunwoody Daycare Shooting: Settlement Reached in Neuman Separation Case

The separation case between Hemy Neuman – the man accussed of shooting a Dunwoody father outside of a local daycare – and his estranged wife Ariella Neuman has been settled, his wife's attorney Esther Panitch said.

Panitch said the settlement gives Mrs. Neuman access to all Mr. Neuman's assetts, including his retirement funds, investments and their East Cobb home. However, that home is headed to a foreclosure sale this summer, as payments dropped off after Mr. Neuman's arrest.

The settlement also gives Mrs. Neuman full custody of their minor child (the couple has three children).

The case began shortly after Mr. Neuman was arrested for the murder of Russell 'Rusty' Sneiderman, 36, who was gunned down outside of Dunwoody Prep, a preschool, shortly after Sneiderman dropped off his 2-year-old son.

Neuman was arrested on Jan. 5. Ariela Neuman .

It was initially filed in DeKalb County but later moved to Fulton County.

Court documents accused Mr. Neuman of having an affair with Andrea Sneiderman. In the l, Mrs. Sneiderman's attorney said she would like to see Mr. Neuman convicted.

"No one on this earth wants [Neuman] convicted more than my client," said attorney Seth Kirschenbaum, according to a story in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

WSB reported Wednesday that the settlement will allow Mrs. Neuman to access Mr. Neuman's assets. Mrs. Neuman had apparently fallen behind on mortgage payments since Mr. Neuman's arrest.

A domestic status conference that had been scheduled for Thursday morning in Fulton County Superior Court was cancelled.
