Two days later Mark served Sarah with sudden unexpected court paperwork.
He attempted to secure a fast court order to seize their joint properties.
He believed Sarah was ignorant of his hidden financial moves completely.
The emergency hearing took place in a crowded family courtroom on Friday afternoon.
Mark stood beside a high powered corporate attorney in a dark grey suit.
He smiled confidently as if victory was already guaranteed for him today.
Sarah sat quietly with Eleanor Vance by her side at the plaintiff table.
The judge called the case to order and asked Mark lawyer to speak first.
Your Honor, my client seeks total control of assets to protect business operations, the lawyer said.
He claimed Sarah was unstable and making wild baseless accusations about money.
Mark took the witness stand and put on a fake sad smile for the judge.
I only want to ensure my family future is secure, Mark stated softly.
Eleanor stood up calmly and walked up toward the witness stand with confidence.
Mr. Miller, do you recognize this corporate trust account number, Eleanor asked sharply.
Mark shifted uncomfortably in his wooden seat and stammered a short answer.
Eleanor handed large printed photos of the hidden documents to the judge directly.
She showed the fifty thousand dollar transfer made to Amanda Vance account.
She showed the court the two one way airline tickets to Europe for next week.
The judge face turned dark as he read through the undeniable paper evidence.
You lied under oath about your financial assets, the judge barked angrily at Mark.
The judge immediately ordered a full freeze on every account Mark controlled.
He granted Sarah full temporary custody of Lily and exclusive home rights instantly.
Mark sat stunned as his grand scheme collapsed around him in minutes.
His lawyer looked embarrassed and refused to speak another word for him.
