Within weeks, we filed a motion to investigate financial misconduct and requested full access to Franklin’s records. Shortly after, my son Gregory called and tried to convince me to drop the case, clearly speaking on his father’s behalf.
I calmly told him, “Tell your father to speak through his attorneys, because I will continue through proper channels,” and then I ended the call.
Six weeks later, we received crucial evidence showing Franklin had discussed moving assets months before filing, explicitly stating he wanted the house out of the marital estate. The emails were clear and left little room for interpretation.
Angela looked at me and said, “This is strong evidence, and it gives us a real chance.”
We filed a motion to reopen the case and prevent Franklin from selling any property during the process. The court approved the injunction quickly, and from that moment, everything shifted.
My daughters began reaching out, not out of support, but to persuade me to negotiate privately with Franklin. I refused and told them all discussions must go through legal channels.
