Basic machine spell-check would have resolved most of the horrific typing mistakes.
Also the whole 'custody of the children' things makes no sense.
They aren't minors and you don't get 'custody' of adults.
Even if they were minors, as long as they are over the age of about 14 courts, for the most part, take the child's wishes into account on who they live with in the case of divorce.
So this really doesn't make any sense.
Grammar / correction patch will be uploaded tomorrow , although i do not believe any of it is unreadable as you might claim it.
Secondly , you're correct majors can chose who or where they live with "IF" they are in a sound mind of state , i can't reveal much but after kiara's mental health problems as per her doctor she was revealed to be unfit and suicidal , hence letting her live on her own wasn't an option.

In New York, the court will determine child custody based on the best interests of the child. This means that the court will consider various factors, including the child's relationship with each parent, each parent's ability to provide for the child's physical and emotional needs, and the child's wishes if they are old enough to express them.
In this case, the age of the children is relevant but not necessarily determinative. The court will consider the specific circumstances of each child and each parent, as well as any other relevant factors. The fact that the children are now adults (over 18 years old) may also affect the court's decision.
It's important to note that custody can refer to both legal custody (the right to make decisions about the child's upbringing) and physical custody (where the child lives). If the children are now adults, legal custody may not be an issue, but physical custody could still be relevant if one or both of the children have a disability or other special needs that require ongoing care and support.

So yes evelyn doesn't exactly have to live with him , but she will for kiara's sake, and kiara has to due to what i explained earlier , so i hope that answers your question.
Also if go book by book mia would've won the case even with the adultry allegations , and we're trying our best to stay close to reality while writing a story however if something like that makes you unimpressed and stray off from the game , I understand have a great day ~
