Henry Rayhons, 78, has been a state representative since 1997. He's been married to Donna Lou Rayhons since 2007, according to court records.
The parties also said they were working on a stipulation concerning other issues about visiting Donna Lou Rayhons which would be presented to the court at a later date, Weiland's order said.
Brunes said her mother has Alzheimer's disease.
"...certain issues have arisen while (Donna Rayhons) has been a resident of Concord Care Center including, but not limited to issues between her spouse (Henry Rayhons) and her other family members, but also between her spouse and the staff at Concord Care Center," Brunes said in her application.
Brunes said Henry Rayhons has difficulty following parameters set by Concord Care staff about removal of Donna Rayhons from the care center without staff permission, being in her room with the door closed, and not entering Donna Rayhons' room because of alleged conflicts with her roommate.
The problems caused by the situation has caused her mother's mental health to deteriorate, Brunes said in her application.
A final hearing on the appointment of a guardian and conservator is set for 11:30 a.m. Aug. 12.
