Billionaire, I Am Not Your Wife! novel Chapter 161

Custody Questions-1

Sedona’s POV

I started with the internet, which was where I started most things I needed to understand before I was ready to ask someone who knew me.

It was a Wednesday morning, eleven days after the park date had been successfully concluded.

My mother had gone to the farmer’s market, my father was in his study on a call with someone from the company, discussing stock exchanges and market stock prices, Cameron was at his own company working with Lucian helping in his PA duties, and I was in my childhood bedroom with my laptop and three hours of unscheduled time and a question I’d been carrying for weeks, a question that had been sitting with me from the first day I had spoken to Nick and promised that I would make plans to see him.

Right now, I had no right to see my son or even talk to him without his father’s permission and knowing Logan, the only way he would let this happen is if I come back home, back to his wife and taking care of his house and I refused to be that woman anymore, that doormat. Which meant that I had to become creative and figure out a way out of this mess.

Parental rights relinquishment, Illinois.

I typed it into the search bar and waited as it loaded and then brought out answers that I needed.

The results were what legal results usually were-dense, precise in places and vague in others. I read through several articles, several law firm summaries, several explanations that were accessible and practically bewildering.

Voluntary giving away of parental rights was, as a legal matter, was designed to be difficult to undo.

It was designed that way deliberately, because the situations in which it was used were situations where the court thought of the best place for a child to be in and grow up comfortably, it didn’t have the condition that I was met, someone who had given up her right because she assumed she wouldn’t make

it..

The law didn’t distinguish between those situations.

What the law distinguished between was finality and revisability, and the general presumption was final unless it can be revised again and then the parent in charge decides to allow the other parents have contact with their child. This was the other factor to consider.

The other factor being Logan.

Any revisitation of the arrangement required either Logan’s cooperation-which meant his agreement to modify the custody situation, which required him to agree that modification was in Nick’s interest-or a court’s willingness to override the first agreement because of my reasons for giving them in the first place and allow me to have shared custody with Logan, not full custody but shared which was better than nothing. I thought about the two options that I had on each palm of my hand.

Logan was a factor I couldn’t control.

I sat with that for a while.

Legan was a factor that remained outside my agency, not one I could control just like the same way I couldn’t control the rain or my cancer. And Logan had demonstrated, in a garden three weeks ago, that his current relationship with good decision-making was complicated.

I closed the laptop.

Opened it again. Searched for family law firms in Seattle with experience in parental rights cases.

I called on Thursday.
