Chapter 17 - Divorce
I filed for divorce.
No dramatic eviction.
The house was mine before marriage, but Camilla had marital rights and property claims that lawyers handled normally.
Temporary orders regulated access.
Because Pippa was my biological daughter and Camilla had never adopted her, Camilla had no automatic parental custody right after separation.
But she requested limited continued contact.
That surprised me.
“You want to see her?”
My lawyer asked.
Camilla said yes.
Why?
“Because I love her.”
Human beings are difficult.
The same woman who put Pippa in a cage also did bedtime stories for two years.
The court did not permit immediate unsupervised contact.

A therapist would assess whether any continued relationship served Pippa.
No child is obligated to continue a relationship because an adult claims love.
