She explained that the house had been relocated legally, every belonging inside had been photographed and inventoried, and his personal property would be available through a supervised collection process. He was forbidden from entering the new site or contacting me directly.<\/p>\n

They had attended only because Jonathan claimed I had chosen to abandon the family. His messages proved the opposite. Both asked to stay with me while the divorce proceeded.<\/p>\n
