Chapter 24 - Vanessa returns to court

Vanessa challenged one divorce provision involving a jointly purchased vacation apartment.
Her claim had merit.
I had treated more equity as separate because initial deposit came from me.
But marital payments increased value.
Neutral accountant calculated Vanessa’s share larger than my first position.
I paid additional:
$128,000
under amended settlement.
Why include this?
Because being cruel to Sophie did not make Vanessa wrong about unrelated property.
The law separated things.
Then she complied with probation.
No contact violation.
Completed course.
No new criminal conduct.
