Chapter 9 - Elise Files For Divorce And Freezers Joint Assets
The following morning, a crisp autumn sun rose over the quiet, affluent suburbs of Westchester County, illuminating the manicured lawns.
Inside her pristine home study, Elise sat across from her lead divorce attorney, signing the final paperwork for an uncontested, fault-based dissolution.
Her attorney, a sharp corporate litigated named Marcus Sterling, reviewed the documents with professional satisfaction.
“Every asset purchased during the marriage under questionable liquidity has been successfully quarantined, Ms. Vance,” Sterling reported.
“And Daniel’s personal credit cards have been locked by the bank pending the federal fraud investigation,” he added.
Elise nodded slowly, closing her leather-bound portfolio with a quiet click that signaled the definitive end of her seven-year marriage.
“What about the marital home?” Elise asked, looking out the large picture window at the vibrant autumn trees in the backyard.
“Since the deed was registered exclusively under Rowan Holdings prior to marriage, Daniel has zero legal claim to any equity,” Sterling confirmed.
“He will be legally required to vacate the premises within forty-eight hours, escorted by local county sheriff deputies if necessary.”
Elise stood up, walking over to the window to watch a black town car pull up slowly along the circular driveway outside.
