Maddie’s husband Jake and his mother Patricia demand she sell her pre-marriage condo to cover brother-in-law Max’s $2M gambling debt.
Patricia threatens custody drama if Maddie refuses.
Maddie had already moved income to a separate account and placed the condo in a trust for daughter Kelly.
She files for legal separation, custody, and a no-harassment order; serves Jake.
Patricia’s threats backfire; the trust blocks any sale.
Six months later, Maddie and Kelly stay in the condo; Jake moves in with Max. Maddie chooses boundaries and her child’s future.
