Irreconcilable Differences

A 9-year-old girl, Casey Brodsky, is seeking a divorce from her famous parents, novelist Lucy Van Patten Brodsky and film director Albert Brodsky, under California's minor-emancipation law. The story unfolds through court testimony, revealing the couple's whirlwind romance and marriage, followed by their individual success in Hollywood. However, as their fame grew, they abandoned their responsibilities as parents, using Casey as a pawn in their bitter divorce. The trial raises questions about whether either parent has a defense against the charges and whether it may prompt them to reevaluate their priorities, particularly their relationship with Casey.
