"We do not use a jury to determine whether two people are 'close' or whether someone genuinely feels they 'grew up as an only child,'" Meghan's filing reads.

“Courts are unable to rule on the legality of a person's feelings about their childhood and their relationships.

Nor should they be."

This dispute had no place in this court or any other.

It is now up to the judges to decide how to proceed.
