I don't know how many people watch Judge Judy on a regular basis. One of the cases, from Friday evening, had me shaking my head. The case involved a divorced couple, with two teenaged daughters....one about age 15, the other about a year or so younger. The couple had been divorced since the two daughters were toddlers and the father had sole custody since the divorce. The ex-wife is supposed to visit for an hour or so every other weekend. The ex-wife had been court-ordered to pay only $25.00 per month, for both kids. (That's right.....$12.50 per child, per month) but the ex-wife has NEVER paid it! She doesn't have a driver's license so the state can't take that. She doesn't have a car, so the state can't take that. She has NOT filed taxes for God knows how long, which makes me wonder how long before the IRS goes after her. She's been working off-and-on, for an uncle, who pays her "under the table" and "off the books". (From where I sat, what she was doing appeared like a dodge to avoid EVER paying ANY child support! Why the state hasn't thrown her lead a$$ in jail for not paying child support, I don't know! ) When Judge Judy demanded an explanation from her about why she has NEVER paid child support, the ex-wife tried to claim that SHE was the INNOCENT victim and that her ex-husband was SO EVIL! That didn't fly with Judge Judy as she has NO tolerance for dead-beat parents! The ex-husband won his judgement. When the litigants were interviewed in the hallway after the case, the ex-wife, who had been the defendant, complained about Judge Judy not understanding her situation, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.
I thought to myself: "BITCH! PLEASE!!!!!"
