The judge warned Harrison’s attorney to control his client before he made the situation even worse for himself. Each order the judge issued after that felt like a brick being removed from the wall Harrison had built around my life.
He granted a temporary protection order and gave me exclusive use of our home while the divorce was pending. He ordered the immediate reinstatement of my medical insurance and froze every single bank account associated with Harrison’s firm.
He also launched a formal investigation into the fraudulent transfer of the Miller Manor properties. Harrison objected to every single point, but the judge overruled him with a finality that was breathtaking to witness.
When Harrison leaned over and told me I would regret this, the judge leaned forward with a look of cold fury. “Mr. Prescott, you just threatened a witness in my presence after I have seen evidence of your abuse,” he said.
Harrison tried to claim that I was his wife and that he had rights, but the judge corrected him immediately. “She is a citizen under the protection of this court, and you are currently a liability,” the judge replied.
