Chapter 21 — What the Court Ordered

The family court judge read the same evidence the drawing room had, and reached the same conclusion, and put the weight of the law behind it.

Marisela was granted primary custody of Alma.

Dane was given supervised visitation and ordered into mandatory parenting counseling — a door left open, but a narrow one, and one he would have to prove himself worthy to walk through.

And Sabetha Ashworth, whose planning had turned a party into a scheme and a scheme into the endangerment of an infant, was granted no visitation at all.

Not supervised, not occasional, not conditional.
