MTV’s documentary series “True Life” doing show about divorce – Casting call!
As divorce and family lawyers in Portland, Oregon, we see the impact that divorce can have on parents and children. While our client’s stories are confidential and private, I think a lot of people would benefit from seeing a show about what real people actually go through during a divorce, and how it affects them. MTV’s documentary series, “True Life” is doing a show on young people going through or affected by divorce. We were contacted by the producers of True Life at MTV and asked to help with casting. They are looking for people between the ages of 16 and 28 anywhere in the US, who are either getting divorced or are the children of getting-divorced parents. They are looking for a few couples to follow over the next few months.
The following is the casting call notice and contact information:

Are you in the process of getting divorced, or considering getting a divorce? Do you feel like you married too young, and just can’t make it work anymore? Is your marriage taking an emotional toll on your home, work and social life? Do you feel like people in your life – friends, family members, your children – must take sides in your marital war? Is the chaos just too much to bear anymore? Or is your parents’ pending divorce forcing you to choose sides? Is one of your parents moving far away, and taking you along? Do you feel like their divorce is somehow your fault… or that it’s basically ruining your life? If divorce is affecting your life right now, MTV wants to hear from you. If you appear to be between the ages of 16 and 28 email us at with all the details. Please be sure to include your name, location, phone number and a current photo, if possible.
