The Netflix movie every couple should watch.
After helping couples divorce for over 20 years, and participating in all types of divorces from cooperative to collaborative to high conflict, the attorney you or your spouse select will often determine just how much conflict and expense will be involved. Divorce is an incredibly emotional process and you always need someone who will be honest with you, rather than someone who tells you what you want to hear. Barbra Homier is a Michigan divorce attorney committed to providing realistic expectations for her clients and honest advice that will serve them far longer than their divorce action.
Families don’t end when couples divorce, they change.
Barbra strongly recommends that all individuals with children who are contemplating divorce, or in the middle of the divorce process watch the Netflix original movie, Marriage Story. This movie accurately depicts the impact attorneys play in your relationship and how the divorce process proceeds.
Reviews from IMDB
“I didn't expect this to mirror how my ex wife and I had to go through the stages of divorce so accurately. My son was only 2 when we were divorced and all of the ups and downs and petty fights and anger that we had for each other was exhausting but we went through it all just to fight for him, who we both love more than anything. We said horrible things to each other we can never take back but we didn't really mean and we both eventually found a way to make it work for him and to protect him from the ugliness. We made it through to the other side and have a good relationship now and work as a team to raise him with love and support but it was a long road out of hell to get there. This movie portrayed that in a way I would never have expected. It made me cry numerous times thinking of how hopeless and angry I was for so long and in that I feel like this movie deserves every accolade it gets. It felt genuine and painful but with hope at the end. It's real and powerful.”
“The mother's lawyer scene and the fight scene are absolutely incredible! If you are thinking of divorce, you must watch this film first.”
“It's like this movie came at the right time and in the right moment. Just when I needed it most. This week for me hasn't been the best, a lot of things have been overwhelming for me. The film in a weird way, despite all the events devolving in chaos, told me that things are sometimes awful, unpredictable and emotionally draining but that's ok. The performances, direction, script all came together to deliver something that will always be special to me.”
