Even if you don't want to cover off the inciting incident, it may be good to put it into a scenario to give it context. ?What is motivating his battle with his children? ?Perhaps just a "After discovering that adult children have been stealing his retirement money a (potential description) has to do battle (what does that look like) to get his money back.
The "do battle" is that a court room drama or a family fight. ?His he scamming them to get his money back or just arguing his head off. ?Cramming all this into a few lines is very difficult.
The sentence construct in this logline is not clear and the irony it eludes to is lost.
Secondly this logline doesn't describe a plot, what does the father specifically want to achieve? Get the money his kids spent back from them? Teach them a lesson? Either way how will he do that? This should be described in the logline.
Lastly, why now? Why not a year ago? What event compelled him to need to battle his kids? What is his inciting incident?
Hope this helps.
Indulgent of his children, or self-indulgent? One is certainly more sympathetic than the other! I assume 'spoiled children' means the former - but maybe it could be clearer?
