I remembered sitting at our dining table while he slid a stack of folders toward me and offered a cup of tea I hadn’t even requested. I signed those papers because I trusted my husband and because I was too tired to fight.
Now the judge was waiting for an answer while staring at the signatures on the bottom of the contract. “I remember signing some papers for the estate, but I was never told I was giving away my inheritance,” I said clearly.
Harrison tried to mutter a rebuttal, but the judge ordered him to stand up and face the bench. The sound of the chair scraping against the floor made me flinch, and the judge did not miss my reaction.
“Did you present your wife with documents that transferred her inherited property into a shell corporation under your sole control?” the judge asked. Harrison tried to claim that married couples shared assets as a matter of course, but the judge was not interested in his generalizations.
