Before my marriage I had worked as a risk analyst in Atlanta and I had spent the past eleven months using my professional skills to quietly track the hidden financial transactions of Brandon after finding expensive hotel receipts in his pockets. When I walked back downstairs with my children and our luggage my husband was absolutely shocked and immediately began threatening to cut off my access to his corporate vehicle my cell phone our health insurance and every credit card.
He truly believed his complete financial control over my life meant I could never afford to escape but I simply told him to contact his attorney as we walked out to a waiting car.
We drove safely to a secure apartment in downtown Baltimore where my family law attorney Victoria Sterling was waiting to receive us. I handed her a hidden audio recorder that had successfully captured every single financial threat my husband shouted at me during my departure. Victoria had been representing me secretly for almost a year helping me gather lawful evidence of Brandon moving our shared marital assets into private accounts whenever I questioned his spending.
Because I had noticed these patterns early Victoria had actually filed my divorce petition three days before my husband ever brought his mistress into our home. More importantly a judge had already issued a temporary legal order freezing our shared marital funds to prevent Brandon from hiding any more money. When my husband angrily called my phone later that night to demand our return I calmly informed him about the active divorce case and the financial preservation order which left him completely speechless as he realized his strategic plan had failed.
