He was referring to the colonial house on Elm Street.

It was the property he had planned to move Kayla into once the divorce was finalized.

“It was indeed in your name,” Jerome agreed.

Jerome took a green highlighter from his pocket.

“But during the course of your marriage, you maintained a joint bank account with Avery,” Jerome said.

“So what?” Scott said. “We both put money in it.”

“Actually, Avery put eighty percent of the funds into that account,” Jerome said.

He slid a bank statement toward Victoria.

“Over the last five years, thirty-six mortgage payments for the Elm Street property were drawn directly from that joint account,” Jerome said.

The room went completely still.

“You used marital assets to pay down the principal on your separate property,” Jerome explained.

Scott looked at his own lawyer, who had remained silent.

“Is this right?” Scott asked.

His lawyer looked at the bank statements, then sighed and nodded slowly.

“If marital funds were used to maintain the separate asset, Avery has a substantial claim,” his lawyer said.

“A sixty percent claim, to be exact,” Jerome said.
