Chapter 11 - The Protective Order
My attorney was Mara Feld.
She listened to the hospital timeline.
Then the earlier incidents.
Then Graham’s portal access.
She separated everything.
“Judith is the immediate physical-safety issue.”
“Yes.”
“Graham is more complicated.”
“Yes.”
“You do not need to decide the marriage today.”
I almost cried from relief.
We sought temporary protection from Judith.
No contact.
No approaching me.
No coming to Caroline’s address.
No workplace contact.
Graham, through counsel, agreed to communicate only through attorneys temporarily.
He did not contest that.
Judith did.
At the hearing she said:
“This is humiliating.”
The judge answered:
May you like
“This proceeding concerns safety, not your social standing.”
For the first time, someone addressed Judith without caring whether she approved.
