Dinner at Vue de Monde
You’ve seen those photographs where the background is blurred, and the only part in focus is the person at the centre of the picture. That was Zoe walking into Vue de Monde, the restaurant where we met. Every other detail of that place blurred as every part of me focussed on every aspect of her.

FIRST DAY IN COURT
“Listen! Stop fucking worrying; nothing is going to happen in a mention”!
You cannot put a monetary value on emotional solace, and Joe Pitt definitely didn’t fit the profile of a SNAG. (Sensitive New Age Guy). Though I wasn’t exactly asking for a hug of comfort in my time of distress, “stop fucking worrying” was no consolation amid what I thought was about to be the ruin of my life.

CHAPTER 1
MY TRIAL WAS A FARCE!
It was a Wednesday morning, the 06th of November. Derby Day, in fact.
An incredible event that combines sport, fashion and food all in one place.
Whilst the rest of Melbourne was engulfed in horse racing and carnival spirit, men enmeshed in Family Court proceedings are prepping to be either shorn or stripped entirely of their money, homes and families.
