Left with no other options, Nicole called on Raegan for support.
At the cafe, Raegan held Nicoles hands, her concern evident. Nicole, you look thinner.
Nicole managed a weak smile. Actually, Ive put on a bit of weight compared to before.
The weight Nicole had gained under Roscoes meticulous care had vanished due to recent stress and the strain of not seeing her child.
Raegan shook her head. I can see theres something you need my help with. Just tell me.
After Nicole detailed Jarrods plan to fight for Austins custody, Raegans anger boiled within her, her fists tightening. Jarrod is a real monster! He has done nothing for your child, and now he just swoops in and wants to take the child away from you, denying you access. Who does he think he is?
However, there was not much they could do. Jarrod held the paternity test, along with Nicoles previous medical records and details of Wessons financial troubles, including Nicoles imprisonment after being wronged. Any of these factors could cost Nicole her custody rights.
Nicoles last hope lay in Jarrods mental health issues. If it went to court, his condition could prevent him from being a sole caregiver.

I get it. You need a lawyer, correct? Raegan asked.
Exactly. I need someone who wont be intimidated by Jarrod and is experienced in custody cases.
I know just the person. Raegan produced a contact, quickly explaining the situation. The lawyer agreed without hesitation.
Nicole remained concerned, recalling how even the well-known, affluent lawyer she initially hired had eventually backed out.
Raegan reassured her, Ive forwarded your details to him. Hell be ready to assist with the legal process by next week. Dont worry about his qualifications. He was formerly a legal advisor for the Dixon Group but left to study abroad for various reasons. His expertise is beyond doubt.
Knowing that the lawyer was from the Dixon Groups undefeated legal team gave Nicole some comfort. And with Raegans endorsement, it seemed unlikely he would be swayed by Jarrod.
Nicole gripped Raegans hand, expressing her gratitude, Raegan, I really appreciate your help with this.
Though Mitchel and Jarrod were once close friends, their professional paths had split years ago as they pursued different career paths.
However, in their personal lives, there were still some common threads between them.

.
When Mitchels previous legal counsel faced off against Jarrod in court, it was bound to affect their relationship in some way.
Dont worry about it. Austins my godson, Raegan said earnestly, smiling at Nicole. Mitchel values justice over personal relationships. He probably wont mind. He might even try to talk some sense into Jarrod.
Nicole let out a breath of relief. Thank you, Raegan.
Raegan gave Nicoles hand a comforting squeeze. Dont stress. I sort of know Jarrod. I definitely wouldnt want Austin in his care.
Soon after, the lawyer Raegan recommended get in touch with Nicole.
Miss Lawrence, hello, Im Rhett Bates. Please, just call me Rhett.
Rhett was straightforward and professional, avoiding the usual flattery like other lawyers. He quickly got to the point. Miss Lawrence, Ive reviewed your case thoroughly. Right now, your only advantage is the childs fathers mental health issue. Without that, winning this case would be nearly impossible.
