Randi: Sure you got your self screwed here, didn't you Linn?
Lynn: Yes, well.
Randi: I'm not gonna take up much of your time. You're meeting with a lot of terrific attorneys. Any one will represent you vary aggressively. And depending on how smart your husband was, they might even get you some decent money. That's not who I am, and that's not what I want for you...

Loved the recent inter-faith marriage episode

Was my first time watching "Family Law," and I was glad to see a network weekly program tackling such a controversial episode. It effectively dealt with religion, atheism, interfaith marriages (and their problems), and separation of church and state, as well as the interaction of all these elements. I might be willing to give this a second viewing next week after seeing what they did with these topics.
