Chapter 16 - Unearthing the Terrifying Custody and Adoption Paperwork Trap
Three days before the preliminary arraignment, the prosecutor’s office invited me down to review final case files.
Assistant District Attorney Miller slid a certified copy of a fake adoption relinquishment form across his desk.
“Look closely at this signature line, Mr. Moretti,” Miller instructed, pointing a pen at the bottom corner.
I leaned in, noticing a signature that wasn't mine, forged with chilling precision to mimic my handwriting.
“She had a forged power of attorney ready to execute the second we signed the marriage license at the altar,” Miller said.
“She planned to strip me of legal guardianship over my own son within twenty-four hours of the wedding?” I asked.
“Precisely; once she had legal custody rights, she could institutionalize the boy and control your entire estate,” he explained.
I felt a cold sweat break out on my neck as I realized how dangerously close we came to absolute tragedy.
If Noah hadn't poked that fake belly with a sewing needle, our lives would have been utterly destroyed.
