“What happens if he keeps doing this?”
“We answer with the records. We request the complete financial disclosures. We document every allegation.”

Daniel called me that evening.
“Did you know Mom was moving money?”

“What?”
“Dad says she’s hiding assets.”
“She’s opening a bookstore. She’s paid some expenses from her savings.”
“He says there’s more.”
“Then ask him for evidence.”
“I did. He said it’s complicated.”
I let out a breath.
“Daniel, your father is making accusations during a divorce. That doesn’t make them true.”
He was quiet.
Then he asked the question I had been dreading.
“Are you involved in this?”
I hesitated.
