Ep 140. Divorcees Fight Over Son's Assault!; House Flipping Flop!

In Judge Judy season 23 episode 140, viewers follow the case of two divorcees who are fighting over their son's recent assault. The episode begins with the plaintiff, a woman named Jennifer, explaining to Judge Judy that her ex-husband, Ryan, is refusing to pay medical bills related to their son's injuries. Jennifer alleges that their son was assaulted while staying with Ryan and that Ryan is ultimately responsible for paying the medical bills given that he was watching their child at the time.

Ryan, on the other hand, argues that their son was injured while playing sports and that the injuries are not as severe as Jennifer is making them out to be. Ryan also contends that Jennifer has a history of overreacting and causing drama, which is why he doesn't believe her side of the story.

As the case unfolds, it becomes clear that there are a number of conflicting accounts regarding what happened on the day of the assault. Both sides present witnesses and evidence to support their claims, but Judge Judy ultimately needs to decide who is telling the truth.

In addition to the divorcees' fight over their son's assault, the episode also includes a second case involving house flipping gone wrong. The plaintiff in this case, a man named Steve, explains that he hired the defendant, a house flipper named Joe, to renovate a property that he owned. Steve claims that Joe took much longer than anticipated to complete the renovations and that when he ultimately did finish, the work was shoddy and incomplete.

Joe, on the other hand, argues that he did the best he could given the budget that Steve had allocated for the renovations. Joe also suggests that Steve was difficult to work with and kept changing his mind about what he wanted in the house, which slowed down the renovation process.

As with the first case, Judge Judy needs to determine who is telling the truth and who is ultimately responsible for paying damages. Along the way, viewers are treated to a number of dramatic moments as both sides present their evidence and attempt to argue their case.

Overall, Judge Judy season 23 episode 140 is a tense and dramatic episode that showcases the judge's skills in arbitrating complex disputes. Even viewers who are not typically fans of courtroom dramas are likely to be drawn in by the compelling characters and high-stakes disputes that play out in this episode.
