All’s Fair… or Is It? Real-Life Top Divorce Attorneys Break Down Hulu’s All-Female Divorce Firm Drama on Divorce & Beyond #395
We’re talking all about Hulu’s new hit All’s Fair and its glossy world of powerhouse, all-female divorce attorneys. The show is everywhere right now, but how much of it reflects what really happens in high-stakes family law?
Susan Guthrie is joined by two of the most trusted experts in the field, Beth F. McCormack and Kimberly A. Cook, Esq., to break down what the series gets right, where it leans into pure Hollywood, and what it leaves out entirely about the real work of guiding families through divorce.
If you’ve been wondering whether All’s Fair captures the truth or just the drama, this episode gives you the inside view.
What You’ll Discover in This Episode
Where All’s Fair nails the reality of female attorneys breaking away to build something better
What the show gets wrong about divorce law and why those myths can mislead real clients
How strategy and preparation matter far more than the aggressive “never settle” persona
“Adding a zero” isn’t how settlements actually work
Why representation in legal dramas matters and how this show misses key opportunities to get it right
