Understanding Parenting in Film/TV Through Shared Experience
In family law disputes, courts often struggle to understand the realities of parenting while working in film and television. Drawing on both my personal experience as a single parent and the challenges shared by colleagues, I help clarify how industry demands intersect with parenting responsibilities. My role is to provide the court with a clear, neutral understanding of these realities.
