The show has two phases. In the first phase, each partner tells their side of the story, arguing their case to the judge. Each partner is given an opportunity to present their evidence and facts, and the judge makes a determination about the legal grounds for the divorce.

The show has tackled some of the most challenging cases in the legal system, like domestic violence, custody disputes, and parental rights. Each case presented in the show is a real case, and the show's producers work with legal researchers to ensure that they correctly present the facts and the applicable law.
