My ex-husband fights for custody, though our daughter has been dead

Synopsis

I went to the church to light a memorial candle for my daughter, only to run into Ethan’s mother on the steps. She twisted the hem of her shirt, hesitating before she spoke. "Claire... Ethan is back. He wants to see his child." I didn't say a single word. I just walked away. That afternoon, my lawyer called. Ethan was suing me for custody. On the day of the hearing, he stood in the courtroom and fiercely demanded I give his daughter back. The judge looked at me. I stood up slowly, my voice dead calm. "Ethan, five years ago, at the exact moment your daughter died, your phone was turned off. You were on a romantic vacation with your mistress." When I laid my daughter’s death certificate on the table, the entire courtroom went dead silent.
