Is divorce really the all-out battle HBO’s new legal drama War makes it seem, or is Hollywood giving women the wrong idea about what happens when a marriage ends? From billionaire divorces and complicated prenups to aggressive attorneys and high-stakes financial battles, HBO’s War brings the drama of divorce to television. But while the emotional turmoil and financial complexities may feel familiar, the reality of divorce is often very different from what we see on screen.
