Jack shed a tear while he was looking at his late wife’s picture. He told to Emmy that their daughters were growing safe and sound. As his mother wished, Jack remarried for her daughter’s need of a mother figure.
His new wife’s name was Gabby, she was a co-worker from Jack’s office. She was also a single mother, and her interaction with Jack’s daughters was great. Their marriage arrived sooner.
As their children were getting along great, one day, while Jack was talking to his lawyer, Gabby learned that Emmy left a trust fund for her daughter’s college expenses. She talked with Jack about the money and wanted him to use the money for her own daughters’ too.
Despite Jack told Gabby that Emmy left the money for her own daughters, Gaby was taken aback. She told Jack that they were a family now, so her daughters deserved to use the money.
As Jack told once again that the money was a gift for Emmy’s daughters’ future, Gabby was not happy. “So that’s it? Your dead wife’s wishes matter more than your living family?
As Jack came up with a plan in his mind, he told Gabby that he will arrange it tomorrow.
“Really? You mean it?” Gabby’s eyes opened wide.
On the next morning, Jack called his lawyer and ordered that he wants a new joint account with his wife Gabby, where they would fund it together, as he talked with a high voice, enough for Gabby to hear.
“What did you say?”
“I’ve created a fund for your daughters the way you asked. We’ll fund it together.”
“What about Emmy’s money.”
“We have no say in it. That money is a gift from a late mother to her daughters.”
“This is ridiculous!”
“No Gabby. We need boundaries. I will honor my late wife’s request for her daughters.”
In the coming weeks, as their arguments got heated, Jack decided that their relationship will not work with how Gabby wants nonsense things, and sent her the divorce papers.
As Gabby wanted many things during the divorce, since they didn’t buy anything together, Gabby received nothing. Her daughters were not related or adopted by Jack, so he didn’t need to pay child support either.
