5/10
Writers should understand how divorce and domestic violence are handled in California
25 April 2024
I enjoy this show even though most of the scenarios are used on other shows. I have never had any complaints. However, two things frustrated me about this episode. They may seem trivial but they were important to me 30 years ago. First, if you want to be divorced in California, you get divorced. You don't need the cooperation of your spouse. When I got my divorce in California, it didn't matter that my ex refused to respond or sign anything. I was still divorced in 6 months. Second, because I was a victim of domestic violence, my divorce was handled and paid for by volunteer attorneys. It was a rough time for my two little boys and I., I appreciated the safety that I felt being in California because they have zero tolerance for domestic violence. My ex found out where I was but he didn't come after me because he was told that he couldn't get away with hurting his family. It was also very easy to get a restraining order. I felt safe and I also felt I had the freedom of choice when it came to the divorce.
