Chapter 15 - Vanessa sues me
Vanessa filed for divorce and civil claims.
Prenuptial agreement existed.
My business interests separate.
Her personal investments separate.
Marital residence?
Villa Moretti belonged to a family real-estate company before marriage.
She had occupancy while married.
No ownership.
No custody of twins because not their parent.
Good.
Then her claims:
I had publicly humiliated her by flipping table.
I caused reputational damage.
I wrongfully excluded her from residence.
I interfered with Bellacourt opportunities.
Most weak.
One claim stronger:
Personal property damaged when table flipped.
Diamond necklace? Fine.
Dress ruined by wine? But no wine thrown at her? Table crash. Some property maybe.
We negotiated belongings retrieval.
No dramatic eviction.
Neutral inventory.
Then marriage assets:
Joint brokerage.
Vacation property purchased during marriage.
Artwork.
Vehicles.
Divided under prenup and state law.
No empire transfer.
Then Vanessa alleged I had approved aggressive household cost reduction by text.
I had.
She produced:
Cut waste hard. I’m tired of paying for food nobody eats.
True.
Could that authorize toddler portion limits?
No.
Could it support argument she believed she had broad authority?
Somewhat.
Again my words created cover.
Then divorce mediator asked:
“Do you want to settle personal property now or wait for criminal case?”
Now.
I wanted fewer open fronts.
We settled:
Each kept personal jewelry/clothing.
Joint vacation condo to be sold.
Net equity split according to prenup contributions.

No spousal support due waiver and her resources, subject court approval.
