“I understand.”
“They are also asking for temporary control over certain aspects of your medical care, finances, property, and the custody of your infant daughter.”
I glanced toward Susan.
She was staring at the table.
“Do you believe I am incapable of making my own decisions?” I asked her.
She finally looked at me.
“Mom, this isn’t about money.”
“Then what is it about?”
“You are seventy-nine years old.”
“And?”
“You have a newborn.”
“Yes.”
“You are planning to raise her alone.”
“I’m not alone.”
Susan looked at me strangely.
“Who is with you, Mom?”
I didn’t answer.
The judge looked at my medical file.
“According to these records, Mrs. Miller underwent extensive medical monitoring throughout her pregnancy.”
“Yes.”
“And the physicians involved state that she was fully aware of the risks.”
“Yes.”
Michael’s attorney stood.
“Your Honor, those doctors were paid by my client’s mother.”
Judge Reynolds looked up sharply.
“Are you suggesting the medical records are fraudulent?”
“No, Your Honor. We’re suggesting that Mrs. Miller’s financial position may have influenced the medical advice she received.”
Helen stood.
“Your Honor, we have three independent psychiatric evaluations. All three conclude that Mrs. Miller is mentally competent.”
The judge nodded.
“Continue.”
