Chapter 24 - Vanessa’s final divorce move
After release, Vanessa challenged parts of prenup.
Claim:
I had hidden value of one marital investment account.
Forensic accounting found:
One private-equity distribution of $420,000 had been deposited into my separate account during marriage but tied partly to marital capital contribution.
Her claim had merit.
I had not intentionally hidden.
My accountant categorized under separate asset.
Court-appointed financial expert allocated:
$160,000 marital portion.
Vanessa entitled to agreed share.
She was right.
Important.
Then vacation condo.
Sold.
Net proceeds:
$1.1 million.
Split per prenup formula.
Joint brokerage divided.
No spousal support.
No business shares transferred.
Then Vanessa sought return of diamond necklace.
It was hers.
I never disputed.
Then personal property:
Two paintings.
One bought jointly.
Sold and split.
The divorce became accounting.
Good.
Then one issue:
She wanted a final supervised meeting with Florence to apologize.
Florence refused.
No right.
She asked through mediator:
Could she send letter?
Florence said:
“Not now.”
Twins?
Elena and I agreed no contact during probation.
No apology to toddlers used as rehabilitation performance.
Then Vanessa filed no appeal of conviction after counsel advised mixed prospects.
