The Papers They Thought Would Break Me

Chelsea looked at the floor.

Fiona placed the folder on the table.

“Before Albert joins us, there are a few things you should understand.”

Logan sat.

Chelsea took the chair beside him.

“The investment account contained $803,417.29 when we began the separation process,” Fiona said.

“After taxes, legal fees, and the transfer he authorized last week, the remaining balance is approximately $214,000.”

Logan absorbed the number.

“How much did he give away?”

“Five hundred seventy-five thousand dollars.”

Chelsea’s eyes widened, but she did not speak.

“The money is being placed into a housing fund for retired teachers,” Fiona continued.

“Your father’s mother was a teacher.

Your mother taught elementary school for thirty-one years.”

“I know,” Logan said.

“Albert has also established a smaller reserve for himself.

He plans to move into an independent-living apartment within the next several months.

The reserve is sufficient for his needs, assuming he continues to live modestly.”
