Plot Synopsis

Created, written, and executive produced by author Susin Nielsen, FAMILY LAW is a one-hour drama series that follows lawyer and recovering alcoholic Abigail Bianchi struggling to put her career and family back together after hitting rock bottom. As a condition of her probation, Abby is forced to work at her estranged father Harry's firm, Svensson and Associates, and practice in family law for the first time while forging new relationships with the half-brother Daniel and half-sister Lucy whom she's never met. The result is a dysfunctional family law firm operating to help other families with their own dysfunctions. FAMILY LAW made its U.S. debut on Sunday, October 2, 2022 at 8pm ET/PT on The CW.

The sophomore season of FAMILY LAW made its U.S. debut on Friday, July 7, 2023 at 8pm ET/PT on The CW. After six months' probation at her father's firm, Abby's getting into the groove of family law -- but her marriage is a trainwreck. Harry, meanwhile, has finally made Daniel a partner -- but is he ready to share his firm with his son? Daniel's quest for approval leads him to a carefree woman who is definitely not his type... Or is she? And Lucy is crashing at Joanne's, hoping she can fix things with a newly-pregnant Maggie -- and getting up her older sister's nose at the same time. Season 2 follows Abby and her dysfunctional family as they help other dysfunctional families -- all while navigating their own personal dramas.

Season 3 of FAMILY LAW made its U.S. debut on Wednesday, January 17, 2024 at 9pm ET/PT on The CW. Clear of her probation and divorce, Abby is riding high at Svensson & Svensson -- but the hard work of reckoning with her past is just beginning. She moves on to AA's Step Four -- writing her moral inventory -- and begins her nesting arrangement with Frank. On her off weeks, she still lives with her mother Joanne, whose rekindled relationship with Harry is churning up all of Abby's childhood trauma. Meanwhile, Harry revels in Abby and Daniel's cutthroat competition for top earner at the firm -- until his reckless past comes back to haunt him. Daniel's romance with Martina is cut short when her boyfriend Quinn returns -- and takes on a new layer of complexity when Quinn befriends Daniel. And Lucy, trying to find her feet after Maggie's betrayal, throws herself into a new relationship -- one that she intends to make work no matter what.
