Tara appeals the civil judgment. The Court of Appeal affirms, explaining why the evidence supports the jury’s findings of battery, domestic violence and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Steve filed the judgment in New York before the appeal decision, while the custody arrangement continued.
The archive carries the story beyond the verdict and appeals. The 2025–2026 motions, the support-hearing account and the filed Article 78 petition preserve the question Steve asks someone to examine: what should change when the record and the continuing custody arrangement diverge?
After the verdict and the appeal, Tara communicates a new condition — drop the judgment, put money in escrow, stop filing court actions. Contact with Evie becomes conditional on surrendering the legal outcome. When Steve declines, the scheme adapts: forged filings, frozen accounts, threats, displacement.
