The next morning, after clearing my mind, I went to my friend's law firm and asked her to draft a divorce agreement for me while also filing for divorce in court.
My friend analyzed my situation, "In my experience, you won't get much in the way of assets. Although Brandon is at fault, they're mostly ethical and moral issues, not substantial enough for the court to favor you.
However, I might be able to help you fight for custody of the child. If you can find a stable job during this time and have a good talk with Bryan, getting him to express in court his wish to be with you, it will increase your chances."
I said, "I don't want the child, just try to get me more money."
Anyone who wanted to take care of such a child could have him. Men and children would betray me, but money wouldn't.
The day after Brandon received the court summons, he contacted me, wanting to talk.
I had been staying at my friend's place for over a month without a single call from him, but now that he realized I was serious, he started to panic.
