Chapter 15 - The Court Grants Me Sole Custody And Restraining Orders
“I am hereby granting temporary sole legal and physical custody of minor child Lily Sterling to her mother, Nia Sterling,” Judge Harrison ruled.
He struck his gavel down sharply against the wooden block, sealing the emergency custody order.
“Furthermore, I am issuing a permanent order of protection prohibiting Ryan and Diane Sterling from coming within five hundred feet.”
“Visitation for the father is suspended pending mandatory psychological evaluations and supervised agency sessions,” the judge added.
Ryan slumped forward in his chair, burying his face in his hands as his legal defeat became absolute.
His attorneys patted his shoulder awkwardly before packing their briefcases and walking out of the courtroom.
