OK, I'll cut it back to that.

Often associated on WWW sites with "divorce show", mainly because "Intolerable Cruelty" was called "ディボース・ショウ" in Japan.
Had trouble with a short and meaningful gloss.

now that the figurative 'quandary/imbroglio' sense has been added to 泥沼, i'm leaning towards have no entries for 泥沼の離婚劇 or 泥沼離婚劇.  泥沼の has broader usage that is now covered in that entry

I think having all three versions would be good.
