When the Vows Break

1995-11-01

Patty Duke is Barbara Parker, an Oakland County housewife who divorces her husband Art (Art Hindle) after she learns he changes his life insurance to make their married daughter Susan (Megan Leitch) the sole beneficiary. The divorce judge Wendel Adams (Robin Gammell) contends that Barbara is to blame for the couple's incompatibility and therefore only gives her 2% of their shared assets and unsecured alimony. Barbara appeals by representing herself, claiming bias against women by Adams.
