This three-part series takes a close-up and personal look at divorce as people reveal their experiences, from marriage to breakup, conflict to compromise.
We go inside homes, mediation offices and the courtroom to hear from couples, their children, judges and a private investigator.
Around 200,000 Australians marry every year. Over 43 per cent of these marriages will fail. This three-part series takes a close-up and personal look at divorce as people reveal their experiences, from marriage to breakup, conflict to compromise. We go inside homes, mediation offices and the courtroom to hear from couples, their children, judges and a private investigator. The result is an honest and compassionate exploration of an important contemporary issue–one that is having a huge impact not just on individuals, but on our society and our future.
