Does anyone remember the name of that girl who divorced her parents back in the late 80's early 90's?

She was the first child to divorce her parents so it was fairly big news back then. Any help would be great. (oh its not not that May girl who divorced her parents & is now losing custody of her own son now.)

Update:

No, the parents didn't divorce each other, the child divorced herslef from her parents. She wasn't famous. I just remember seeing it a kid thinking oh my god, can you actually DO that...

    Don't remember her name....but it had something to do with two little girls who were switched at birth and one of them died. Parents of dead child found out of hospital mistake and found their biological child. By this time, the girl was 10 or 12 yrs old and wanted nothing to do with them (for obvious reasons....they were strangers to her). She was court ordered to be returned to her biological family and after a few years had enough. She went through the motions of being emancipated from them and went to live with the people she considered her parents.

    Are we all thinking of the same made for TV movie based off a true story? I do not recall the actual details, but I remember hearing about it on the news when I was 11 or 12. Saw the movie a few years later.

    it rather is from "for the duration of the finding Glass." This one replaced into based on the e book that replaced into the sequel to the unique "Alice in Wonderland." The Disney action picture mixed aspects of the two books and made it alot nicer than it replaced into. The books have been actual incredibly traumatic

    I don't remember her name but there was a movie called Irreconcilable Differences about it. I think that was the name of it.
