My Husband Filed for Divorce at 71 and Said, “The Shop Is in My Name — You Didn’t Build Any of It.” My Children Begged Me to Fight for What I Built, but I Quietly Handed Him Papers of My Own. He Celebrated for Three Weeks — Until the Judge Asked One Simple Question He Was Never Prepared to Answer.
My Husband Filed For Divorce At 71 And Took My Shop: “It’s In My Name — You Built Nothing.” I Smi…
My husband served me divorce papers on my 71st birthday. I’m keeping the shop, the house, the accounts, all of it, he said, setting a folder next to my birthday cake. You’ll thank me later. My daughter screamed at me to fight. My son hired an attorney before I even asked. But I just nodded, poured myself a cup of coffee, and said, ‘Let me read these first.’ He laughed. He actually laughed.
He was still celebrating 3 weeks later when a certified letter arrived at the shop with his name on it. I watched him open it from across the room. I watched the color leave his face and I thought, ‘There it is.’ Good evening, dear listeners. This is Ella and I’m so glad you found your way here tonight.
Before I begin, please like this video and stay with me all the way to the end. Tell me in the comments which city you’re listening from. I love knowing how far these stories travel. Now, let me tell you about the year I turned 71 and discovered that the quiet life I thought I had was built on sand.
My husband and I had been married for 38 years. We came to Florida from Indiana when our youngest was still in middle school, chasing cheaper land and warmer winters. He worked construction management. I worked part-time as an elementary school librarian. And somewhere in the middle of raising two children and building a life.
I had an idea, a small gift and flower shop in a strip mall just outside Sarasota. Nothing fancy, but it was mine. Or so I thought. I’d spotted the empty unit on a drive home one afternoon and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I drew sketches on napkins. I researched wholesale flower suppliers for weeks.
My husband thought it was a hobby project, something to keep me busy. He signed the lease paperwork because we needed his income for the credit check. Just a formality, he said. Of course, it’s yours. I’m just signing the paper. That was 16 years ago. I named it Rosewood and Co.
I stocked it with fresh flowers, handmade cards, candles from local artisans, small gifts for every occasion. I woke up at 4 in the morning, 3 days a week, to drive to the wholesale market. I built relationships with every florist supply vendor in the county. I learned how to do the books, how to manage inventory, how to hire part-time help during holidays.
Within 3 years, we were profitable. By year 8, we had a second part-time employee and a contract with two local hotels for weekly lobby arrangements. My husband never once worked a shift in that shop, but his name was on the lease on the business license on the small business account we’d opened together at the start because again, my credit wasn’t established enough on its own.
Another formality, he’d said, ‘Don’t worry about it. I should have worried about it. The first crack appeared the way it always does, quietly sideways. He started taking calls in the garage. He upgraded his phone without mentioning it. He bought new clothes I’d never seen before, slacks with a crease, shirts that smelled like department store.
When I asked where he was going, he said things like, ‘Just meeting with the investors.’ Or, ‘You wouldn’t know them.’ He’d retired from construction management two years earlier and had moved into what he called property consulting, which as far as I could tell meant driving around with a woman named Sandra who worked in real estate.
I met Sandra once at a neighborhood barbecue. She was maybe 42, dark hair, very polished. She laughed at everything my husband said and touched his arm when she laughed. I watched the way he straightened up when she was nearby. the way his whole posture changed like a man trying to remember who he used to be.
I told myself it was nothing. He was 73 years old. We had grandchildren. We had a life. I was wrong. And somewhere inside me, I already knew. The night he told me, we were sitting at the kitchen table after dinner. He’d barely touched his food. He folded his napkin three times and set it beside his plate. which he always did when he was about to say something uncomfortable.
I braced myself. I think we should get a divorce, he said. Not I want to talk. Not I’ve been unhappy. Just we should get a divorce. The way you’d say we should repaint the living room. I looked at him for a long moment. Why? We’ve grown in different directions, he said. I don’t want to hurt you, but I think we’d both be better off. I thought of Sandra.
I didn’t say her name. Not yet. And the shop? I asked. He pushed the folder across the table toward me. That’s all outlined in here. My attorney put it together. It’s a fair offer. I opened it slowly. The language was dense, deliberately technical, but I’d been doing business paperwork for 16 years, and I understood it well enough.
He was taking the shop, the house, the joint savings. I would receive a monthly payment, small, structured, designed to look generous while being barely functional. He got everything I’d built. I got an allowance. The shop is in my name. he said as if that settled it. You can keep the personal checking account and your car.
My car was a 2017 Hyundai with 90,000 m. I closed the folder. I’ll need time to review this. He nodded, looking relieved, as if the hard part was over. Take a week, but don’t make this difficult. The offer is generous, and dragging it out will only cost both of us. That night, I sat in the living room long after he went to bed.
I thought about every early morning I’d driven to that flower market in the dark. Every holiday season I’d worked 12-hour days. Every relationship I’d built. Every contract I’d landed. Every employee I’d trained. 16 years of my life were inside that shop. And legally, apparently, none of it was mine.
I cried for exactly as long as I was going to allow myself to cry. Then I dried my face, went to the kitchen, made a pot of tea, and started thinking. I called my daughter the next morning before he was awake. She answered on the first ring. When I told her what was happening, she went so quiet. I thought the call had dropped.
Mom, she finally said, please tell me you’re not going to sign those papers. I haven’t decided anything yet, I said. But I need your help with something. I need you to find me a financial attorney, not a divorce attorney yet. Someone who handles business assets and valuations. Can you do that? She said she’d have a name for me by that afternoon.
True to her word, she called back 4 hours later with the name of a woman named Patricia Voss, a financial litigator who’d helped her friend untangle a business partnership dispute 2 years earlier. She’s expensive, my daughter warned me, but she doesn’t lose. I used my own money from the personal account my husband had so graciously offered to let me keep to book the consultation.
Patricia’s office was in downtown Sarasota, clean and spare with a wall of windows overlooking the bay. She was in her early 50s. Silver streaked hair, the kind of calm that comes from having seen everything before. I told her everything, the shop, the setup 16 years ago, the lease in his name, the business account.
I told her about his sudden interest in property consulting and the woman named Sandra. I told her about the folder he’d slit across the table on my birthday. Patricia listened without interrupting. When I finished, she set down her pen and looked at me. ‘Mrs. Callaway,’ she said.
‘The fact that your husband’s name is on the lease and license doesn’t automatically give him ownership of a marital business. Florida is an equitable distribution state. What matters is who built it, who operated it, who invested time and resources into it, and what the business is actually worth.
Do you have records, profit and loss statements, tax returns, inventory logs? 16 years of them, I said. I never threw anything away. Something shifted in her expression. Good. Before we talk divorce strategy, I want to bring in someone to do a full business valuation and review your financial records.
I work with a forensic accountant named Robert Tilman. He’s thorough and he’s careful. If your husband has been doing anything unusual with the business finances, Robert will find it. One 3 days later, I met Robert Tilman in Patricia’s conference room. He was a quiet, deliberate man who asked precise questions and took meticulous notes.
He wanted everything tax returns going back to the start of the business. The business checking account statements, any records of transfers between accounts, credit card statements attached to the business. I had almost all of it. What I didn’t have, he told me how to request. While Robert worked, I went back to my life.
I went to the shop every morning as I always had. I arranged flowers. I helped customers. My husband thought I was defeated, distracted, sorting through my limited options. He came home late most nights, smelling of someone else’s perfume. And I said nothing. I was polite. I was quiet. I was patient. I was waiting.
Robert called me 2 weeks later. Mrs. Callaway, I need you to come in. There are things you need to see. I drove to Patricia’s office that afternoon. Robert had documents spread across the entire length of the conference table. He looked up when I walked in, and his expression told me before he said a word that this was going to be worse than I’d thought.
‘Your husband has been using the business account as a personal slush fund,’ he said. Over the past 4 years, he’s made transfers totaling a little over $140,000 from the business account into a personal account that isn’t in your name and that you weren’t aware of. I sat down.
That money that was shop income that was from the business? Yes. And there’s more. Robert paused. Were you aware that the shop is currently carrying approximately $67,000 in business debt, equipment financing, a line of credit your husband opened 18 months ago, and a supplier balance that’s been deferred? I stared at him.
No, I didn’t know about any of that. He took out the line of credit without your signature because the business account was in his name. He used it to fund what appear to be personal expenses, travel, home improvement on a property I can’t find in your joint records, and what look like cash withdrawals. Robert set a single page in front of me.
If you sign those divorce papers as written, you don’t just lose the shop. You potentially inherit a portion of this debt because some of it was incurred during the marriage. I felt the room tilt slightly. He hadn’t just tried to take everything I’d built. He’d tried to hand me the debt while he walked away clean.
Can we prove this? I asked, hearing my own voice come out steadier than I felt. We already have, Patricia said from the doorway. She came in and sat down. The transfers, the undisclosed credit line, the hidden account, all documented. Your husband thought that because the business was in his name, he had clean access to its finances.
He didn’t account for marital asset law and he didn’t account for a forensic accountant. She folded her hands on the table. Here’s what I want you to understand. You have a very strong case. What he’s done likely constitutes dissipation of marital assets, which courts take seriously. But I want to be honest with you.
If we move forward, this will get ugly. He’ll fight it. He has resources. You don’t. Are you prepared for that? I thought about 16 years of 4 a.m. drives to the flower market. I thought about his name on my lease. Tell me what to do, I said. That evening, he found me reading in the living room and asked with that same careful casualness whether I’d looked at the papers.
I’m still reviewing my options, I said. He sat down across from me and for a moment I saw something flicker behind his eyes. Not guilt exactly, calculation. I hope you’re not thinking about making this complicated. He said, we both know the shop is in my name. We both know what that means legally.
I’m trying to be fair here. You’ve been very thoughtful, I said, and went back to my book. He left the room. I heard him make a phone call in the garage. low and quick, his voice tight. Good. Let him be nervous. Two days later, I filed, not with his terms, with my own attorney, my own petition, and a formal declaration of dissipation of marital assets attached.
When the papers were served to him at the shop, my shop, I was at Patricia’s office, signing a motion to freeze the business account and the joint savings pending court review. He came home that evening like a different weather system. The front door opened and I felt the shift in air pressure before I heard his voice.
What did you do? He found me in the kitchen. His face was a color I’d never seen on him before. You froze the accounts. Do you understand what you’ve just done? I have payroll this week. I have suppliers. I suggest you call your attorney. I said, ‘You can’t freeze a business account that’s in my name.’ Patricia can explain the specifics.
I’d rather not discuss this without legal counsel present. He stood in the kitchen doorway, and I could see him reassembling, recalibrating. When he spoke again, his voice had dropped to something quieter and more dangerous. ‘You are making a very serious mistake,’ he said. I have an attorney who has handled cases a hundred times more complicated than this, and he will tie you up in court until you have nothing left to fight with.
You will spend every dollar from that personal account and then some, and you will still end up with nothing. Sign the papers, take the offer, walk away while you still can. I looked up at him. Is there anything else? He left. I sat at the kitchen table and let my hands shake for a few minutes. Then I called my son.
He arrived from Atlanta 2 days later, unannounced, rolling a suitcase through my front door like he was moving back in. ‘Jen called me,’ he said simply, pulling me into a hug. ‘Over the next several days, my daughter drove down from Tampa.’ The three of us sat at the kitchen table and I walked them through everything, the shop, the hidden account, the debt, the papers. They listened without speaking.
When I finished, my son looked at my daughter for a long moment. He’s not getting that shop, my son said. No, my daughter agreed. He’s not. Having them there changed something in the air of that house. I slept better. I ate real meals. I stopped jumping at every sound. I still had long nights when the fear came back.
The fear of what this would cost. Fear of what I might lose, no matter how strong my case was. But I wasn’t alone anymore, and that made everything different. The call from his attorney came on a Thursday morning. A smooth, professional male voice. He introduced himself as Warren Cole and explained that my husband was prepared to revise his offer significantly.
He was willing to let me remain the operational manager of the shop. He explained, ‘I could keep my title. I could keep my day-to-day role. The ownership structure would remain as is, but my husband would formalize a management agreement that guaranteed my salary and a percentage of profits for the next 5 years.
All I needed to do was drop the asset dissipation claim and the account freeze. That’s a very creative offer, I said. He kept his voice even. Your husband wants to resolve this amicably. Fighting this in court will cost you considerably. His documentation of ownership is strong and it predates your claim.
You could spend 2 years and every resource you have and still walk away with less than what he’s offering now. I’ll think about it, I said. The offer expires Monday. I called Patricia the moment we hung up. They want to settle, I told her. Management role, salary percentage, drop the dissipation claim.
That offer is worthless, she said immediately. A management agreement can be terminated. You’d have no ownership, no equity, no claim if he decides to sell or shutter the business. Don’t accept it. A pause. And Mrs. Callaway, the offer tells us something. They’re scared. Robert’s documentation is solid and they know it.
I didn’t call Warren Cole back on Monday. I was in the garden that evening when a car I didn’t recognize parked in front of the house. My husband got out of the passenger side. Sandra got out of the driver’s side. I straightened up slowly, my garden shears in my hand, and watched them walk up the path together.
I met them at the door, but did not open it. Dorothy, my husband said through the screen. We just want to talk. Five minutes. You can have your attorney contact my attorney, I said. Please. His voice had a quality I hadn’t heard in it for years. Something raw underneath the surface. just 5 minutes.
Sandra wanted to say something. She thought it might help. Sandra stepped forward and I got a better look at her. She was polished in the way of someone who spends considerable effort appearing effortless. She looked at me with an expression I recognized immediately, the carefully arranged face of someone who has decided they are the reasonable party in an unreasonable situation.
Dorothy,’ she said, her voice gentle in a way that was clearly practiced. ‘I know this is painful. I want you to know I respect everything you’ve built, but this situation isn’t serving anyone. If you would just sit down with us, you understand,’ I said, ‘that there’s an active asset freeze and ongoing legal proceedings regarding the business you just drove a man with fiduciary conflicts to my home to discuss.
‘ Sandra blinked. You’re a licensed real estate agent, I continued. I assume you understand what it would mean for your license if it came out that you were involved in advising a party in an active financial dispute to circumvent legal proceedings, particularly given that your name appears on two transfers from the business account in the past 18 months. The color shifted in her face.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. the transfers on March 14th and August 9th of last year, I said, designated in the account records as consulting fees. Patricia has copies. My husband turned to look at her. She didn’t look back at him. I think you should both leave. I said, ‘And I’d like to note the time and document that you came to my home uninvited following a request that all communication go through legal counsel.
‘ I closed the door, locked it, and leaned against it. ‘My son appeared from the hallway. He’d heard everything. ‘Sandra is on the transfers,’ he said. ‘Two of them. Small amounts.’ ‘Enough,’ he let out a long breath. ‘Mom, you did your homework. 16 years of bookkeeping,’ I said. ‘I’ve always been good with records.
The preliminary hearing was in October.’ A cool Tuesday morning in a Sarasota courtroom that smelled like floor polish and old paper. My husband arrived with two attorneys. I arrived with Patricia and Robert Tilman, who carried a binder 3 in thick. The judge was a man in his mid60s named Judge Harold Marsh with reading glasses and the unhurried manner of someone who had seen every possible version of this scenario.
He let both sides present their opening positions. then leaned back. ‘Counselor,’ he said to my husband’s lead attorney, ‘the petitioner is claiming dissipation of marital assets. I’m looking at what appears to be a substantial paper trail. Before we go further, I’d like to hear your client’s explanation for these transfers.
My husband’s attorney, a carefully dressed man named Garrett Lane, stood.’ ‘Your honor, Mr. Callaway operated a business registered in his name. The transfers in question represent legitimate business decisions. Decisions made without the knowledge or consent of the co-owner of a marital asset. Patricia said quietly.
She had not stood up. She didn’t need to. The business is not a marital asset. Garrett Lane said a little faster than he should have. It is registered solely in Mr. Callaway’s name. Registration and ownership are not synonymous under Florida equitable distribution law, Patricia replied.
Still seated, we have 16 years of documented operational history, tax records showing the business income reported on joint returns, photographic evidence of the petitioner’s sole operational role, and testimony from seven wholesale vendors and two employees confirming she ran every aspect of this business without her husband’s involvement.
She slid a copy of Robert’s report toward the clerk. We also have documentation of $140,000 in transfers to a previously undisclosed personal account and a $67,000 debt load taken on without spousal knowledge, some of which appears to have funded personal expenses, including transfers to a third party.
The courtroom had been quiet before. Now it was a different kind of quiet. Judge Marsh looked over his glasses at my husband. Mr. Callaway, would you like to respond to the characterization of that debt? My husband leaned toward his attorney. There was a furious whispered exchange. Then Garrett Lane stood.
‘Your honor, we would request a brief recess to we’ll take one at noon,’ Judge Marsh said flatly. ‘Right now, I’d like to hear from the forensic accountant.’ Robert Tilman took the stand and walked the judge through 16 years of business records in 40 minutes. He was precise, methodical, and devastating.
By the time he finished, my husband had stopped looking at the judge and was staring at the table in front of him. When Patricia called me to the stand, I had rehearsed what I wanted to say. And then I forgot all of it. I looked at the man I had been married to for 38 years, this stranger with my husband’s face, and I said, ‘What was true? I built that shop from a blank retail space.
‘ I said, ‘I drove to the wholesale market before sunrise. I designed every arrangement in our hotel contracts personally. I trained our employees. I kept the books. I cultivated every customer relationship we have. For 16 years, I ran that business entirely by myself. While my husband’s name sat on the paperwork as a formality, I paused.
He called it a hobby. He never once thanked me for it. He let me believe it was mine. And then, when it became valuable enough, he tried to take it and stick me with the debt in the process. My voice stayed even. He underestimated me. He thought that because he held the paperwork, he held the power.
He forgot that paperwork is just paper. The work was mine. The business is mine. There was a long silence. Judge Marsh looked at my husband over his glasses. Mr. Callaway, your wife built a 16-year business operation while your name held a title you did nothing to earn. You then transferred $140,000 of that business’s income without her knowledge and leveraged it with debt she knew nothing about.
He set down the summary sheet. I’ve heard enough for today’s purposes. The preliminary ruling came the following afternoon. The business account would remain frozen. I would retain operational control of Rosewood and Co. pending final determination. The marital home would remain in joint ownership, but my husband was ordered to vacate within 30 days.
Temporary support was set at $4,000 monthly, and all financial records, personal and business, were to be surrendered for full forensic review. When Garrett Lane tried to object to the support amount, Judge Marsh turned to him with an expression that stopped the sentence midsllable. My husband sat motionless when the judge adjourned.
His attorneys were talking at him, but he wasn’t listening. He was looking at me with an expression I hadn’t seen on his face before. Not anger, not contempt, not calculation, just a kind of stunned, hollow recognition. I gathered my things and walked out into the October sunlight where my son and daughter were waiting on the courthouse steps.
My son hugged me so hard I felt my feet leave the ground slightly. My daughter was crying. You were incredible. She said I wasn’t incredible. I was just someone who had paid attention for a very long time and finally decided that attention was worth something. The final hearing came 6 weeks later.
In that time, my husband’s world came apart in layers, the way a building does when the foundation goes first. The full forensic review confirmed everything Robert had documented and added to it. a second undisclosed account, a real estate investment made with marital funds that he’d concealed entirely.
The transfers to Sandra, who by that point had retained her own attorney, and was declining all contact with my husband. He could no longer afford Garrett Lane’s firm for the final hearing, and arrived with a single attorney from a small practice downtown. He looked like someone else.
The careful posture was gone. His suit was the same one he’d worn to the preliminary hearing, and it looked like he’d slept in it. Judge Marsh did not take long. This court finds that the business known as Rosewood and Co. constitutes a marital asset built and operated entirely by the petitioner.
The registration of said business in the respondant’s name was a practical and administrative arrangement that does not reflect operational ownership. Mrs. Callaway is awarded full ownership of the business, its associated lease, license, and goodwill. Effective immediately, I heard my daughter exhale beside me.
With respect to the marital home, Judge Marsh continued, given the documented dissipation of marital assets and the respondents demonstrated pattern of financial concealment. The court awards MSUS Callaway 60% of the net equity upon sale with proceeds from the remaining 40% to be applied first against the $67,000.
Business debt incurred without spousal consent. My husband’s attorney started to object. The judge looked at him. The respondent is also ordered to pay spousal support of $3,500 monthly for a period of seven years. To pay Mrs. Callaway’s legal fees in full, currently totaling $74,000, and to have no further claim on any business assets, inventory, contracts, or relationships associated with Rosewood and Co.
He looked directly at my husband. Mr. Callaway. This court has reviewed your financial conduct during this marriage carefully. You systematically hid marital income, concealed debt, and attempted to structure a settlement that would have left your wife financially responsible for liabilities she didn’t know existed, while you walked away with assets she spent 16 years creating.
This court does not look kindly on that. A pause. You are fortunate this is a domestic court. The gavl came down outside. A photographer from the local paper was on the steps. My husband’s fall from a reasonably prominent local businessman was apparently worth a paragraph in the lifestyle section.
He moved past quickly, head down, his attorney’s hand briefly on his arm. I stood in the sunlight and felt the particular quality of stillness that comes after a very long fight ends. Patricia stood beside me. Congratulations,’ she said simply. ‘You won everything that mattered,’ I nodded. I thought about the blank retail space I’d stood in 16 years ago, sketching arrangements on a notepad, trying to picture what it could become.
Sandra had already left town by that point, moved to a position with a real estate firm in Naples. She was still posting on social media about fresh starts and new chapters. No mention of the transfers. No mention of the man who’d funded parts of her lifestyle with money that belonged to someone else.
She would land somewhere soft. People like her usually do. But she wouldn’t land here. My husband moved into a rental apartment in a complex off the interstate. He called the shop once 3 months after the final ruling and one of my employees answered. I listened from the back. He left a rambling message asking if I’d received his forwarded mail.
I had one of my employees call back and give him the address of the post office box where anything with his name would be held. He came by the house once while I was still packing my things for the sale. He didn’t ring the doorbell. He sat in his car at the curb for a few minutes looking at the house and then drove away.
I watched from the second floor window, cardboard box in my arms, and I felt nothing complicated, just a kind of settled clarity. The house sold in 3 weeks, Florida real estate, even then moved fast. I took my share and bought a small house near Siesta Key, close enough to the beach that I could smell the salt air from my front porch in the morning.
My son helped me move. My daughter came down for the weekend and we planted a garden together. Gardinas along the fence, which she knows are my favorite, and a row of rosemary that I’ve wanted since I was 30 years old. I kept the shop. Of course, I kept the shop. I spent one Saturday in January redoing the signage, same name. Rosewood and Co.
, but a new logo I designed with my daughter on a kitchen table the previous fall. I took out the old equipment lease my husband had signed and replaced it with my own. I added a fourth hotel contract. I hired a part-time delivery driver. I am, as of this spring, considering a small online storefront for the dried arrangement kits we’ve been selling since a customer suggested it at Christmas.
The business belongs to me now. In every way, a thing can belong to a person. I have a plaque above my workbench, a small wooden thing my son had made for me that reads, ‘Built by my hands, belonging to no one else. That man I was married to is still paying support month by month, direct deposit.’ He’s working as a consultant for a small property management firm.
He is, by all accounts, a much smaller version of the man he thought he was 3 years ago. I don’t wish him harm. I don’t wish him anything really. He is simply a person who made choices and now he lives with them. I wake up before sunrise most mornings, not for the market. I have a driver for that now, but out of habit, and because I like the early quiet, I make tea.
I sit on my porch and listen to the birds come in off the water. My daughter tells me I seem lighter. My son says I laugh more than I have in years. A retired school teacher named Gerald from two streets over has taken to joining me for Saturday morning coffee on the porch. And we talk about books and birds and the particular color of the gulf at different times of day.
And sometimes he makes me laugh until I spill my tea. I don’t know exactly what the next years look like, but I know they are mine. I spent 38 years keeping quiet, keeping the peace, keeping my name off the paperwork because it felt like a small thing, a formality, because we were partners, because we were a team.
I gave away piece by piece the legal claim to everything I built. And then at 71, I stopped being quiet. That’s the part my husband never saw coming. That’s what he forgot. That last morning I saw him drive past my house and look at me through the car window. He forgot that the woman he’d written off as defeated was the same woman who had been taking notes, keeping records, paying attention for 16 years.
He forgot that I knew exactly what I had built and I never forgot for a single day. So that is my story. an ordinary woman who built something real and refused to let it be taken from her. What I learned is this. Put your name on what you build. Not out of distrust, not out of fear, but because your work has value, and value deserves protection.
I learned that it is never too late to fight for yourself. I learned that patience and preparation are not weakness. They are a kind of power that people like my husband who mistake silence for surrender will never fully understand. If you are in a situation where someone is telling you that you have no claim to what you built, please don’t believe them.
Get a good attorney. Get a forensic accountant. Get someone who knows the law because the law may protect you better than you know. And if this story helped you in any way, please share it. You never know who might need to hear that it’s possible to win. Thank you so much for listening. This is Ella and I’ll see you next
