“As for the question of who has a claim to Mom’s house, we had already agreed that she would support one child, meaning that everything she has – including her house – would ultimately belong to Lily. Mom is supposed to prioritize Lily. Since you’re living here and Mom is helping take care of Timmy, the neighbors might say she isn’t being fair, especially since Lily isn’t getting the care she deserves. You should consider how this affects Mom!”

“I understand what you’re implying. However, I contributed to buying this house, so I’ll stay as long as I want. As for who it belongs to later, you can’t touch the part I paid for!”
