Caleb removes Peter from the studio after Joy describes alleged domestic and child abuse, redirecting the conversation toward immediate safety.
The brief
Joy and Peter arrive with a troubled marriage, five children, severe debt, and a history of infidelity; allegations of abuse quickly make the financial audit secondary.
Joy describes working from home while homeschooling, managing health concerns, and carrying the household’s financial strain as Peter remains largely disengaged.
The audit finds credit-card balances, installment purchases, family loans, and negative monthly cash flow, leaving little path to independence without major changes.
Joy recounts allegations that Peter struck a child and assaulted her, including an incident in which she says she was knocked unconscious.
Caleb orders Peter out, then focuses on safety planning, documentation, child support, childcare assistance, therapy, and a separate budget for Joy and the children.
