Chapter 515
Liberty stated, “Ms. Yates, it’s likely that you’ll marry Hank once we are divorced. You’re both young, so it won’t be long before you have your own child. Are you prepared to let Sonny share Hank’s affection with your child?
“Even if Hank claims his parents will care for Sonny in their hometown, they will inevitably feel pity for Sonny and favor him over your child. They will likely encourage Hank to spend more time with Sonny and treat your child differently.
“Are you truly willing to allow your child to endure that kind of disparity?
“If I take custody of Sonny, I will only request that Hank pays three thousand dollars a month in child support. He won’t need to worry about anything else. I won’t hold it against him if he doesn’t see Sonny again for the next decade. This arrangement would be the best solution with the least impact on you and your children.
“You won’t have to see the child that Hank and I share all the time either. I imagine that when you look at Sonny, memories of my past with Hank will come to mind. Hank and I have known each other for twelve years, having dated for seven years and been married for over three years. That’s significantly longer than your relationship with him…
“Can you truly remain unaffected? If Sonny is with me, you won’t have to see him again. Hank may visit Sonny initially, but once you have your own child, his focus will shift to your child.
“Your child can receive all his love. Isn’t that wonderful? Hank earns a substantial income, so in the future, all his earnings will be for you and your children. Once Sonny turns eighteen, Hank will no longer need to pay child support, allowing you to save a significant amount of money.
“Consider this: getting married is incredibly expensive today. The groom has to purchase a house, a car, an extravagant wedding gift, and organize a ceremony. All of these expenses add up. If Hank gains custody of Sonny, he may assist Sonny in buying a house and a car in the future, enabling Sonny to get married. This would further diminish your children’s inheritance.”
Jessica remained silent for a while before asking, “What do you want me to do? Can you guarantee that you won’t contact Hank again after you obtain custody of Sonny? If he wants to see Sonny, you could send him to his parents’ house for their meetings.”
“Sonny’s child support will be reduced by half to one thousand five hundred dollars a month. You can’t request additional funds from Hank for Sonny’s schooling or wedding expenses in the future. However, as Hank ages, Sonny will need to fulfill his responsibilities as a son.”
“If you can agree to this, I will convince Hank to relinquish custody of Sonny to you.”
Liberty looked at Jessica calmly and replied, “If I file for divorce, the judge will award me custody of Sonny since I have been the one caring for him all this time. Additionally, I have evidence of the Browns abusing Sonny, leaving Hank with little chance of winning custody.”
“I am only willing to negotiate calmly for your benefit, Ms. Yates. Regardless, you’re—”
You are the homewrecker, and you and Hank have already slept together. If you become pregnant, will the child be labeled as illegitimate?
“If you two live together and have a child as husband and wife, I can also sue Hank for bigamy.
“Sonny’s child support should be three thousand dollars a month, and not a penny less. I won’t ask for a penny more either. If Hank fulfills his responsibility to raise Sonny, then as Sonny grows older, he will naturally take on his duty as a son to support Hank.”
However, Liberty did not want Sonny to be held responsible for supporting the scumbag Hank in the future if Hank refuses to pay child support.
Now that Liberty had the upper hand, she was determined to fight for her son’s child support.
“Of course, it would be best if Hank pays the full amount for Sonny’s child support.”
Jessica fell silent once again.
Liberty paused, looking at Jessica quietly as she waited for her to process this. After a long moment, Jessica finally spoke, “I can try to persuade Hank, but I can’t guarantee that he’ll listen.”
