Host Michele Locke—an experienced divorce attorney and former family court judge—delves into the highly publicized and turbulent divorce between Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards. Michele breaks down the intense legal battle, marked by substance abuse, domestic threats, erratic behavior, custody disputes, and relentless media attention. We take a closer look at Denise’s determined efforts to protect her children, including seeking restraining orders, and reveal the harsh realities many families face when addiction becomes a courtroom issue. Joined by victim advocate and executive producer Jake Deptula, Michele explores how family law can both aid and sometimes fall short for those caught in such challenging circumstances, highlighting the bravery required to find stability amid chaos.
