One of the primary issues in their divorce was the couple's shared custody of their three young children.

The husband denies these allegations, and the case is currently tied up in court. Dr. Phil steps in to offer advice on how the couple can work together to come to a compromise that is in the best interest of the children.

Next, the episode turns to the topic of elder abuse. Dr. Phil sits down with an older woman who has been the victim of financial exploitation by her own children. After years of working hard to save for her retirement, the woman trusted her children to manage her finances when she became too frail to do so herself. She later discovered that her children had stolen thousands of dollars from her accounts and sold some of her most valuable possessions for a fraction of their worth. Dr. Phil provides the woman with guidance on how she can take legal action against her children and recoup her losses.

Lastly, the episode deals with the case of a young woman who was wrongly accused of a crime. The woman was arrested and charged with theft after being caught on surveillance footage in a local store. Despite her protests of innocence, the evidence seemed to be stacked against her. After months of fighting the charges in court, however, the woman was finally able to prove her innocence and have the charges dropped.
