She immediately granted my request for a permanent, maximum-distance restraining order. She froze all of Evan’s personal and corporate accounts, pending a full forensic accounting of our marital assets.

But she didn’t stop at the bounds of family court. Outraged by the brazen deception, she formally referred the case to the district attorney’s office for criminal investigation into domestic battery and witness tampering.

She also issued severe judicial sanctions against Arthur Sterling and his team for willfully presenting falsified evidence.

The collateral damage to Evan’s accomplices was equally devastating. Vivian Mercer, who believed her wealth placed her above the law, was indicted for felony perjury.

When the police arrived at her country club to serve the warrant, her pearls offered no protection.

Marissa Locke was terminated from the firm. An internal investigation, spurred by the scandal, revealed she had not only committed perjury but had actively helped Evan shuffle marital funds into offshore shell accounts.
