Novel & Cerita Custody

"It's not even a baby yet. Please just listen to me, Bambi." "No! What is wrong with you?" I yelled, standing up and walking away from Greyson. Greyson followed me quickly and tried to reach my arms. "No! Don't even dare to fucking touch me, Greyson. Don't you fucking dare. Yes, i know i'm not in the best condition to be pregnant and i'm still 17. But it's not my fault that you're not ready to become a father. I'm keeping the baby. I will take that risk! I will not kill it!"

Roberta shook her head, “It’s not. Why can’t you two just come together and raise the babies together?” “He doesn’t love me anymore, that's why! No matter what I say it hasn’t changed his mind on me and the unborn pups. He wants to take them away with the excuse that they will be stumbling blocks to my future.” Roberta sighed, “he has the money but you’re going to be their mom. At least he should grant you joint custody.” “I want full custody. I want them every day.” I selfishly replied. It’s only fair because I can’t risk my everything for them just to see them on the weekend.”

“Before issuing my ruling, I wish to summarize the matter as presented.” Richard’s stomach tightened. This was it—the beginning of the endgame. The judge’s gaze flicked briefly across the courtroom, pausing on Richard, then Juliet, then Monet. “The petitioners, Mr. and Mrs. Pendleton, maternal grandparents of Hannah Meredith Abbott and Carter James Abbott, seek custodial rights. They allege the respondent, Mr. Abbott, has acted with instability following his wife’s death and made decisions not in the children’s best interest—specifically, a remarriage to Mrs. Monet Abbott.”

"Andrew will provide financial support, and Astrid will ensure the child's well-being." Astrid nodded, her mind racing. "What about custody?" she asked. "Joint custody," Andrew replied, his voice firm. Astrid hesitated, unsure if she trusted Andrew with their child's future. "But what if—" Mr. Oliver interrupted, "The contract outlines clear terms for co-parenting. You'll both have equal rights and responsibilities." Astrid sighed, feeling a sense of unease. Was she really ready to tie her life to Andrew's? As they signed the documents, Astrid's hand brushed against Andrew's.

Frederick held his breath, his pulse pounding in his ears. “While Colonel Smyth has provided a stable environment, the court recognizes the importance of a child having a meaningful relationship with her mother. Ms. Caroline Matthews has demonstrated a commitment to her personal growth and to being a responsible parent. “Therefore, I am awarding primary custody to Ms. Caroline Matthews. Colonel Frederick Smyth will have visitation rights, including alternating weekends and scheduled holidays.” Frederick felt as though the ground had been ripped out from under him. He sat frozen, unable to process the words.

Her heels clicked sharply on the polished floor as she approached the bench. “After careful review,” she began, her voice echoing slightly in the chamber, “the court finds that the children, Toby and Leo Anderson, shall be placed in the full custody of their father, Thomas Anderson. The court acknowledges the stable environment provided, the emotional support demonstrated, and the testimony of the children affirming their well-being.”

“No pup may be removed from their primary caregiver solely on the basis of rank, legitimacy of mating, or political advantage. Custody disputes will be adjudicated by a mixed panel of Elders, Betas, and Lunas, with input from neutral healers. Unregistered Alpha-born children are not to be treated as contraband or seized without cause.” Her fingers went cold. For a flash, she saw herself in that tiny apartment three years ago, door chain latched, every knock a potential end. Luna had a warm weight on her chest, a phone without service in her hand because any connection felt like a beacon. The bond tightened; Aiden’s presence flared, sharp with remembered terror

From the corner of my eyes, I see Adrian try to stand up, ready to defend himself, but Vivienne grabs his arm immediately, forcing him to sit. My attention is now on them, and though I can’t hear what she’s saying because of the distance between us, I can tell she’s trying to calm him. As if he can feel my attention, his gaze drifts towards me, now filled with malice before he turns again with a quiet scoff. I turn too, just as Laurent says, “custody is awarded based on the ability to prevent harm.” The judge nods, her pen paused in her hand as she listens to him attentively.

DARIUS "Let's begin with the custody arrangement," my lawyer said, pulling out a document and setting it in the center of the table where everyone could see. "Mr. Blackwood is proposing shared custody with alternating months. Luna would spend one month with her mother, the following month with her father. Holidays would be split evenly—Christmas alternating years, Thanksgiving the same. School breaks divided fairly." Sera's lawyer leaned forward and pulled the document closer, her eyes scanning the pages with practiced efficiency while Sera sat motionless beside her, hands folded in her lap and face completely unreadable.

Again with the swearing. I’m not quite sure if this is the building I’m after. No signage. No devoted carpark. Just some brick and mortar tucked away on the corner of a commercial street. I can image they would have this addiction meeting of adults in a circle, going around and stating their names. I can only hope there are no barren couples. What kind of idiot would let a grown man take a child home instead of a well-dressed wife and a husband with chinos and a skinny-strapped leather watch. Those watches do my head in. I could walk over and cut it off with a pair of scissors.
