My Mute Bride

Chapter 327 Fighting for Custodial Rights

Hernandez went to pick Jolly and Samuel up in the afternoon. As soon as they arrived, she sent Samuel to wait in his room. “Chris, Justin took Charlotte with him.

Rachel was sitting on the sofa and playing with her tea set. “He is going on a business trip. Furthermore, he suddenly learned that I plan to fight him for Charlotte’s custodial rights. He must be worried that I will take Charlotte away when he isn’t around, so he took countermeasures in advance.”

“Does he think that everybody is as despicable as him? We had plenty of opportunities to secretly take Charlotte away if we wanted to. Why would we wait until today?” Jolly plopped herself down on the sofa. “Just because he himself is shameless, he thinks that everybody else is shameless too.”

“Hernandez, how high are our chances of winning this lawsuit?” Rachel handed a cup of tea to Hernandez.

Hernandez replied, “50-50.”

“Only 50-50?” Jolly raised an eyebrow at those words. “Hernandez, that’s not what you told me previously.”

“First of all, as the incident from five years ago had occurred too long ago, there’s not enough evidence. That’s why we planned to target the fact that Justin has a tendency for violence, but it might be a little difficult. Not to mention that there’s no way to build concrete evidence around the fact that he visits a psychologist. If the other party provides a medical report, then it won’t work if we accuse him of having psychological issues… There’s one more point and the most important one at that.”

“What is it?” She was a little anxious. “Don’t keep us hanging. Just tell us.”

Hernandez continued, “The issue regarding Samuel. This is not an absolute stipulation. Nevertheless, the local divorce laws generally state that each parent would obtain custody of one child in situations where there are two children and no issues with the parents’ respective economic power.”

“Samuel is not Chris’ child, though.”

“As long as he is her child in the legal sense, then that’s enough.”

Jolly furrowed her eyebrows. “In the worst case scenario…”

“There’s no need for that.” Rachel suddenly interrupted Jolly. “I know what you’re thinking. There won’t be any problems with Samuel to be registered under my name as I’ve already thought of a way.”

“What way?”
