The real-estate records showed no completed unauthorized transfer.

Oliver’s property remained subject to an orderly collection process.

He had stayed at my house frequently, kept belongings there, and possessed a key, so we weren’t going to pretend a sudden lock change was the entire legal answer.

Marcus arranged written notice and a supervised move-out plan consistent with the applicable occupancy requirements.

I was relieved.

I didn’t want an ugly confrontation in the driveway.

I wanted my children safe.
