Judge Judy

Divorced couples in New York are locked in disputes concerning allegations filed with Child Protection Services, as well as disagreements over a shared tax return. The conflicts centre on the handling of child‑welfare reports and the division of joint financial obligations.

The programme is set in New York and follows a group of divorcees who find themselves at odds with one another. It places these former spouses squarely in the spotlight, showing how their post‑marital lives can become entangled in legal and bureaucratic battles. The setting and the characters’ shared history provide a clear backdrop for the disputes that drive the story forward. At the heart of the series, the ex‑partners are locked in a fight over two very specific issues. First, they are contesting reports that have been made to Child Protection Services, each side questioning the other's motives and the validity of the claims. Second, they are quarrelling about a joint tax return, arguing over who should bear responsibility and how the financial details should be settled. These two points of contention form the core of the narrative, with the divorcees repeatedly confronting one another over both child‑welfare concerns and fiscal obligations. The conflict therefore intertwines personal grievances with broader institutional processes. By pitting the divorcees against Child Protection Services and the tax system, the programme highlights how private disagreements can spill over into public arenas. The story underscores the challenges that arise when former partners must navigate both protective services and tax regulations, illustrating the complex interplay between family breakdown and the mechanisms designed to manage its fallout.
