“Does the local school district not provide transportation to and from home?”
He frowned. “I am sure they likely do, if Chloe would prefer to take the bus.”
“You don’t know if they do?”
His frown deepened. “I haven’t checked on that specifically yet, no. But there is an excellent private school system that I’d be enrolling Chloe in.”
I nodded. “What else?”
“Objection.” Keller sounded bored. “Vague.”
Yes, Korey certainly had avagueidea of his childcare responsibilities.
“Does Chloe participate in any extracurriculars that you’ve been involved in?” I clarified.
“Yes.” Pathetic man seemed smug that he knew the answer for once. “She’s learning to ice-skate.”
“Where?”
“Bay figure skating club,” he answered after an elongated pause.
Ah, close. So close.
“Back Bay Skating,” I corrected.
“That’s what I said.”
I’d been wondering when the gaslighting would begin.
“Would Chloe be able to continue at Back Bay if she were to move with you toSpringfield?”
“It’s a possibility. If she would prefer that, I could drive her there once a week.”
“Is that how often she practices?”
“About that, yeah.”
Chloe had practice at least twice a week, but the judge would be provided with that information separately.
“Have you attended her practices? Competitions? Shows?”
“I have.”
He wasreallytrying to save face, but it wouldn’t work.
“How many?”
“A couple practices.”
“To clarify, two?”
“Yes.”
“When?”
“Once last week and another the week before that.”
“So, after you filed for more custody?”
