Stability. David\u2014who\u2019d thrown Sophie\u2019s birthday cake against the wall because she\u2019d asked if Mommy could read the bedtime story instead of him. David\u2014who told our eight\u2011year\u2011old that Mommy\u2019s job isn\u2019t important like Daddy\u2019s.<\/p>\n
But there was one clause buried on page forty\u2011seven of that prenup, one his drunk lawyer friend had probably copied from a template without reading: \u201cIn cases of documented domestic violence witnessed by multiple parties in a public setting, all agreements become void.\u201d<\/p>\n
Public setting. Multiple witnesses. Documented.<\/p>\n
David thought he was smart, keeping his violence private\u2014behind closed doors, where bruises could be explained away and no one would testify.<\/p>\n
The financial stakes went beyond the prenup. David\u2019s company had contracts with my firm. If I left messily, he\u2019d pull them\u2014nearly ten million in annual billing. He\u2019d already threatened as much.<\/p>\n
