Judge Judy

Unmarried parents are locked in a bitter dispute, each seeking restraining orders on the grounds of harassment. In addition, they habitually summon the police, repeatedly requesting checks on the welfare of their child, turning the situation into a continual legal and law‑enforcement battle.

The piece is a television programme presented as an episode, centred on a domestic dispute between two parents who are not married to each other. It follows the format of a typical broadcast segment, offering a snapshot of the tension that can arise when co‑parents fail to cooperate. The storyline revolves around the two adults turning their disagreement into a kind of legal battle. Each parent repeatedly seeks court protection, filing restraining orders on the grounds of harassment. At the same time, they call the police on several occasions, insisting that officers check on the welfare of their child. These actions illustrate how the conflict escalates beyond ordinary arguments. The episode highlights the cycle of accusations and interventions, showing how the parents use both the courts and law enforcement as weapons in their feud. By constantly involving the authorities, they create an environment where the child's wellbeing is repeatedly examined, but the underlying hostility between the parents remains the driving force of the narrative.
