“I love Theo.”
“I never said you shouldn’t.”
“And Serena?”
I looked at him.
“What about her?”
“She’ll probably become part of my life.”
“Then I suggest you start building that life.”
He hadn’t expected that.
Graham expected screaming. He expected threats. Most importantly, he expected me to become terrified once he mentioned custody and money.
Instead, my attorney had already documented nearly $380,000 Graham had moved from marital accounts toward Serena’s rent, travel, jewelry, and expenses connected to Theo.
The discovery changed the divorce negotiations considerably.
It also changed Graham’s confidence.
When he threatened an ugly custody fight, my attorney reminded his attorney that financial discovery would become considerably more detailed.
Within weeks, we reached an agreement.
I received primary residential custody.
Graham received scheduled parenting time.
