About the premiere, Executive Producer Garland Waller said:

“With a little luck, and the support of good people like you, we will reach a tipping point that compels action and leads to a solution.  So many people are working hard now and getting results. We are committed to shinning a light in the dark corners of the family courts to insure that all children will be protected.”
