She Framed Me As Unfit So I’ll See Her In Court Chapter 36
Two days before the final hearing, the evaluation report was served on both attorneys.
I read only the conclusion.
“Nia Carter is able to consistently identify risk, seek timely assistance, and manage conflict in ways that do not harm the minor child. The current home environment is safe and stable.”
The section on Caleb was much longer.
During the interview, he repeatedly minimized the address leak and the fake ad, calling the strange man showing up at my house “a misunderstanding caused by an online joke,” and insisted that supervised visitation was harming his rights as a father.
At the end, the evaluator wrote:
“The party under evaluation demonstrates significantly more concern for his own losses than for the fear experienced by the minor child.”
After reading it, my lawyer looked up at me.
“He personally handed the evaluator the worst possible sentence.”
I wasn’t surprised.
That was how Caleb had always been.
In my last life, too, he had never believed he was taking Maya away. He only believed I was refusing to cooperate.
On the day of the hearing, his lawyer moved for a continuance.
“Mr. Carter needs time to repair his relationship with his daughter.”
The judge looked at the evidence file.
“The temporary orders have already been in place for several weeks. Grounds?”
“Ms. Sloan Mercer misled him.”
My lawyer rose.
“Your Honor, we object. After the first police response, Mr. Carter personally called my client and demanded that she stop reporting to the police. That recording has already been submitted.”
The courtroom speakers soon carried Caleb’s own voice.
“The police already went to Sloan.”
“If you stop going to the police, I’ll have Sloan delete everything.”
Two sentences. Clear as day.
Caleb’s lawyer went rigid.
The judge asked, “If he was entirely unaware, then after police went to Sloan, why was his first response not to protect his daughter, but to demand that the victim stop calling law enforcement?”
No one could answer for him.
The request for a continuance was denied.
The hearing continued.
