Charissa

Charissa had hoped her father would give her detailed pro bono advice to pass along to Mara. Instead, he told Charissa that Mara needed to contact her own attorney. But was Tom allowed to do that? Charissa asked. Just close all the accounts?

If they were his accounts, yes.

But what about all the child support? Wasn’t he supposed to be paying her monthly for that, even before the divorce was final?

Have her contact her own attorney, he said. Since he didn’t know anything about their temporary custody agreement, he couldn’t speak to any details.

“What’s going on?” John asked when she got off the phone.

She slammed her computer shut. “You know how I went with Mara to buy a new mattress a few weeks ago?”

He nodded.

“Well, Tom threw an absolute fit when he got the bill. And now he’s shut down all of their credit cards and their checking account. She’s got nothing. Absolutely nothing. No way even to buy food right now.”

John tossed aside his video game controller. “That’s not right! He can’t just leave her with no way to take care of herself and the boys and—”

“I know. Dad says she’s going to have to contact her attorney immediately. But that costs money.” She strode past a mountain of packed boxes and yanked her coat from the closet.

“Where are you going?”

“Shopping.”

He looked at his watch. “Right now?”

“Right now.”

“What about the lecture you were fretting about for tomorrow?”

“It can wait.”

John smiled with a smile that lit up his whole face. “I just deposited a bonus check,” he said. “Get her whatever she might need.”
