Muth is Anna's lawyer, both for her divorce from Brian and her custody battle. Muth advises Anna to get more money out of Brian from the divorce, but Anna insists on supporting herself. Muth thinks Anna has a strong case in the custody battle, but also realizes that judges are prone to categorizing all sexual deviance at the same level of gravity regardless of the actual gravity of the situation in question. Anna comes to rely emotionally on Muth during the custody case, but afterwards she sees this intimacy as artificial.
