HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 2 (UPI) -- ABC has ordered a pilot for a comedy from "Rules of Engagement" producer Mike Sikowitz, called "Divorce: A Love Story," The Hollywood Reporter said.

The multicamera comedy focuses on Kenny and Robin, whose relationship is even worse after they divorce then it had been during their marriage. The show is based on Israel's "Life Isn't Everything," The Hollywood Reporter said Friday.

Sikowitz, along with Daniel Lappin, will write and executive produce the pilot. Noa Tishby will also serve as executive producer.

This is Sikowitz' second pilot order after the NBC comedy "Welcome to the Family," about a white and a Latino family who are joined by an unplanned pregnancy.
