Chapter 11 - THE LAWYER DUSTIN CALLED FIRST
Rebecca subpoenaed billing records in the custody case.
Three weeks before the haircut, Dustin consulted family attorney Alan Mercer.
Topic:
Temporary guardianship / primary custody strategy.
Why?
He said our marriage was unstable.
Was it?
We argued.
Money.
His mother.
My work hours.
Normal? Maybe not normal.
But divorce had not been discussed seriously.
Dustin told Mercer:
Avery increasingly volatile.
Meadow oppositional under Avery’s permissive parenting.
Judith provides stabilizing care.
Question:
Could Dustin obtain temporary sole custody if Avery had a documented violent episode?
There it was.
Not yet conspiracy.

Legal consultation.
But timing.
