A Special Relationship

The court appoints a supervisor who promises integrity and transparency. She meets privately with Tara before the first visit, invites her to attend in violation of the court order, dismisses Steve's concerns about being poisoned, and tells him she has a special relationship with the judge. She charges $250 an hour. The judge who appointed her later says on the record that she never wanted Tara at the visits and wanted Steve to die on his own sword, so the court would know.

Sixteen Visits

Sixteen visits. Six supervisors. Every observer reports the same thing: Steve is attentive, Evie is happy. The supervisors keep changing. The court declines to read a favorable report. The visits stop for five months. The court grants sole custody anyway.
