Chapter 15 - THE SUPPORT ACCOUNT IS UNWOUND
The civil accounting took months.
Anne Kell separated everything.
Total properly attributable obligation under the real agreement by that point:
Not the full $2,000,000.
The schedule depended on age and expenses.
Roughly $412,000 should have been available or paid for the twins during the first five years.
Actual direct and documented benefit:
About $173,000.
Shortfall under the agreement:
Approximately $239,000, before interest and disputed administrative credits.
Different from the $684,000 that had flowed through the broader reserve.
Why?
Because some contributions were advance reserves, not yet due.
This distinction kept us from turning every account entry into theft.
Then legal paternity changed everything.
The old agreement no longer controlled future support alone.
Family court established child support under law.
My income was high.
Maeve’s income modest.
Support substantial.
Health insurance.
Childcare.
Education contributions subject to order.
Arrears required separate treatment because I had not been legally adjudicated father earlier and money had been routed through Octavia.
The court did not simply say:
Pay five years twice.
Nor:
You already paid through family trust, so nothing owed.
It examined actual benefit.
Recovered funds.
Agreement credits.
Then structured a fair catch-up.
I funded an independent account administered without Octavia.
Maeve received direct statements.
May you like
No family-office gatekeeper.
Good.
