A Family Legal Legacy<\/strong><\/h2>\nWasser\u2019s father, Dennis, was a renowned family lawyer who represented Tom Cruise during his divorce from Nicole Kidman. Despite being given the initials L-A-W, she resisted the idea of joining the family business for years.<\/p>\n
Her parents\u2019 own amicable split influenced her belief in peaceful, communicative separation. Her brother became a therapist\u2014whom she described to The Cut<\/em> as “less cutthroat”\u2014and their family\u2019s experience helped shape her philosophy of reciprocal, respectful divorce.<\/p>\nWasser\u2019s 2013 book It Doesn’t Have To Be That Way<\/em> promoted this very mindset, pushing to destigmatize divorce. As she told The Cut<\/em>: “We have all these women out there now trying to normalize menopause; I just want to normalize divorce. And not just divorce but communication around it.”<\/p>\nHer Rise Through Hollywood<\/strong><\/h2>\nUnsure of her path, Wasser initially worked at a nonprofit before eventually asking her father for a job. Thanks to friends in the entertainment industry, she began building a client base early on, and, by her 30s, had become one of Los Angeles\u2019 most trusted and effective divorce attorneys.<\/p>\n
Wasser\u2019s roster has since included some of the biggest names in Hollywood\u2014among them, Angelina Jolie, Kevin Costner, and Heidi Klum.<\/p>\n
Wasser became known for keeping clients out of court whenever possible and for refusing to take on cases rooted in unrealistic expectations. In 2007, she stepped down from representing Britney Spears in her divorce from Kevin Federline when the case descended into tabloid chaos.<\/p>\n
Her Personal Life: Unmarried and Pragmatic <\/strong><\/h2>\nWasser is candid about her own nontraditional setup. She co-parents amicably with the fathers of her two children, whom she refers to as “baby daddy 1” and “baby daddy 2.” She has never married either man\u2014something she says she doesn\u2019t necessarily advise to clients, but which works for her.<\/p>\n
Wasser told The Cut<\/em> she plans to spend Thanksgiving in London with Baby Daddy 1, both children, and her new boyfriend of eight months. She added that she doesn\u2019t typically maintain long relationships, but joked that this one felt different\u2014describing him as a foot taller and a hundred pounds heavier than her.<\/p>\nThe Tooth Diamond Incident<\/strong><\/h2>\nWasser also spoke about the aspirational glamour of All\u2019s Fair<\/em>, noting that, while she “must be one of the highest-paid attorneys in the country,” she does not have a private jet. She does, however, enjoy small flashes of personal style.<\/p>\nInspired by CeeLo Green, she once had a tiny diamond placed on her top-right lateral incisor. She told The Cut<\/em> that, during one court appearance, a judge called her over to ask whether she had a diamond on her tooth. Wasser said she braced herself, thinking it might be an issue. Instead, the judge reportedly told her it wasn\u2019t a problem\u2014only that it was now all he could see\u2014and encouraged her to keep smiling because she was winning.<\/p>\nNewsweek<\/em> reached out to Laura Wasser for comment via a platform which connects journalists with experts outside of her usual working hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.newsweek.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kim Kardashian\u2019s new legal drama All\u2019s Fair has captivated viewers with its glossy aesthetic, its unmistakably camp tone\u2014and reviews that have been far from glowing.
