Ep 10. Harris vs Harris

In the 10th episode of season 18 of Divorce Court, titled Harris vs Harris, we are introduced to a couple that has been married for 5 years and is seeking a divorce. Shawn Harris, the husband, is a aspiring rapper who has yet to make a successful career out of his music, while his wife, Tamera, is an independent businesswoman who has become frustrated with her husband's lack of ambition.

The episode opens with Judge Lynn Toler listening to Tamera explain the problems in their marriage. She tells the judge that Shawn has become lazy and unmotivated and that she feels as though she is the only one putting any effort into their relationship. Tamera says that she wants a divorce because she feels as though she has no other choice. Judge Toler stresses the importance of the couple working together to find a resolution.

Shawn is then given the opportunity to explain his side of the story to the judge. He tells her that he is passionate about his music and that he is working very hard to make his dreams a reality.

Judge Toler works to help the couple understand each other's point of view and come up with a plan that will work for both of them. She encourages them to work on a budget together and to be open and communicative about their expectations when it comes to finances.

Another key issue in the episode is the couple's lack of intimacy. Tamera expresses frustration with the fact that they have not been intimate in several months and that Shawn is not interested in being physical with her.
