Mo was thrilled to celebrate her new apartment—the first home she and her husband Alex had bought together, thanks in large part to her generous parents. But during the housewarming party, things took a shocking turn. Alex’s mother, Barbara, stood up in front of everyone and suggested the unthinkable: that Mo give the apartment to Katie, Alex’s sister, who was a single mom struggling financially. What stunned Mo even more was that Alex agreed. He casually suggested they could move in with his mother and start over later—with help from Mo’s parents, again.
But Mo’s parents had anticipated something like this. Calmly and confidently, her mother revealed legal documents proving the apartment was solely in Mo’s name—protected by a prenup and written with their lawyer’s help. Alex and his family were stunned.
