Oh my gosh, I just realized this dude re-modeled our bathroom several years ago. We paid half up front and the rest when he finished. About 2 years later he called my husband and said we had not paid him!! Thank God for proof of pay by check from the bank! I really enjoy your channel!
My ex-husband owns a business. When we divorced, the only thing I requested was for my name to not be associated with any of his business loans or assets. This made him pretty heated because it dragged out all the laundry... but it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
You are amazing and i wish my ex wife had done the same as you since i worked 15yrs building MY business up from nothing and she never had worked a day in her life but she won the lottery in divorce court! ☹️
My ex-husband and his dad had their own business and it was supposed to be passed down to our kids. My ex-husband is not the biological father of my oldest daughter but he has never treated her any different from the 2 kids we have together. He was the only father figure in her life for many years. But I didn't ask for anything and I didn't want my name on anything with their business.
Once again LTWM causes me great trouble and harm. I liked that statement by the judge, "I want a direct answer with as few words as possible", so much, that I tried using it with the wife tonight. Now my eye is bandaged up.
The properties even as a separate company would still flow to their personal tax returns as a K1, but if they’re the only owners it’d be a schedule E on their personal taxes under the LLC if there is one. They may be early on in the rental properties where they’re breaking even and not profitable yet.
I'll explain it. Mexicans do a ton of contracting under the table all cash deals and they work under different and fake social securities you would be surprised how much money is in the illegal Mexican things. They even get car loans and house loans all with fake documents and they game the system by still getting government entitlements food stamps, free rent, free medical, so trust me they hide their money very well.. just look at THIS CASE!! the chick is scamming the dude is scamming it's all just smoke and mirrors with dreamers.
"As you can see, your honor he's been in an accident" "I can't see an injury. All I see is a bandage over his eye. " I'm dying laughing 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Not at the fact he was injured, but because the judges respond. The attorney saying he scolded his client was the icing on the cake.
I'm only watching this because I love LTWM. 💜 I'm the female that had an ex-husband that did this to me in court for 6 years! It was a nightmare! it is nigh impossible to prove a negative like "she stole money and hid it somewhere." This whole stupid fight brings up bad memories. Sigh...

1:02:49 100% correct. When you bend to lift you increase your blood pressure and if your eye is damaged you can damage it further. When I had cataract surgery I was on light duty for ....(if I remember correctly) 4 weeks and it was minor surgery. I wasn't allowed to lift anything. Danger of infection is because a construction site isn't very clean.....
I just can’t wrap my head around how divorces get so nasty. So happy I walked away with only my freedom and my kids when I left my ex-husband. Starting over with nothing just to be out of that marriage was worth way more than anything I could have fought to take from it.
Almost everyone I knew was so mad I didn’t drag mine out and freak out over every penny. I could have and would have just been miserable . Glad I just focused on how I could look myself in the mirror. Miney goes. That doesn’t

Really?? just in time for court. Hmmm.
Hey Mike. Is there a way to put you in the upper left corner instead of lower left?

“I want the fewest words necessary” should 100% be on a tee shirt. It would apply every single day of my life with kids, work, just anywhere with so many different people hahaaa!🤦🏽♀️😂😂😂
Gonna be honest, having watched Judge Arth a bit now, I am unimpressed with him overall. I just don't think he handled this all that well, frankly speaking.
I agree. But this is ridiculous not getting info from opposing counsel and this not being resolved by now so everyone can move on. I did catch the husband choked the wife which made it all a volatile situation to start! Along with unpaid prior taxes, a wrecked vehicle & a business not turned over as ordered in court. (websites) I'm not understanding all the bashing of the wife. So sorta makes sense why nothing can be resolved. What a mess!!!!
You can see his eye open behind the banding. The two times I had my cornea scratched, one extremely badly, I was unable to actually open my eye, they ACTUALLY "taped" my eye shut.
I found the judge a little annoying. She told him at the beginning that the taxes were for High Chaparral property. Then he accuses her of lying. He’s the one that obviously got confused. I also noticed that he didn’t even pursue the fact that the husband’s lawyer refused to give the wife’s lawyer his address or contact information when he could clearly still get ahold of him.
That is a perfect case to validate the notion that married couples should NOT mix business with personal life! Do not involve family either. This is what you get when the marriage falls apart and you end up on divorce court!
I just had cataract surgery on my left eye this past Wednesday and I was oked to play golf tomorrow, on Sunday. I'm not supposed lift more than 20lbs for a week, not two months. I've had metal shavings in both eyes, badly slicing up both eyes, resulting in both being bandaged for 10 days. As soon as the bandages were off, I was released back to my manual labor job, in which there was heavy lifting.
Wow. What a peach of a judge. Infuriating. Couldn't finish this case. Stopped about 20 min into it. That judge is rude, unfair, unprofessional and a real jerk. They are supposed to be fair to both parties. It's cases like these that I refuse to watch. 😡😡
He's not yet ready for all these upstart women making it happen without chattels to a man -like his God intend (the men slipped that in to his bible in 600AD). To be fair Ms. Godwin is a little bit loose with the standards and facts, but Hernandez was not forthcoming with facts to a sufficient standard. The judge is a total a-hole demanding not be interrupted, but not letting her finish. The haranguing is a little nasty and vindictive.
Maybe it's different in the state where this case is being heard, but I understand one must own and primarily reside at the property in order to claim homestead exemption.
Thanks guys! My Lord, I went through this in a divorce where I created a successful business with my stay at home wife and she got the business and drove it into the ground! The reasoning was that she raised the children (while I busted my ass) and so since I was gone so much building the business, the kids suffered. So why not give her the house, the kids and the business she had no idea how to run?
31:15 Mike, was she “sloppy” … and BIGEN was a reason for her _possibly_ (although have you seen her before other judges)_ being “about to cry” *the fact that THE JUDGE TOLD HER TO WAIT 5 SECONDS before answering…* ⚠️ then cut her off / refused to allow her to answer _AS SHE WAS WAITING HIS DIRECTION TO WAIT 5 SECONDS_ *which applied ONLY TO HER* ❓❓❓ Do you both _really_ not see the double standard❓ Mike knows he’s a chauvinist. It’s literally part of his brand _(“Naughty adventure fund”)_ … and sometimes like his political views, he acknowledges it. *But pretending the you both & the judge are not treating her reaction differently* _based on how THE JUDGE treated her_ *is pretty ridiculous.*
31:30 She “sits in awkwardness” _as you called it_ *because **25:23** HE COMMANDED HER TO WAIT 5 SECONDS* before SHE ALONE was allowed to respond duh❗️❓
I'm glad that there are at least some people like yourself that see and understand this. It's incredibly frustrating to see so much open bias not just by Mike, who openly admits his bias, but by other viewers that are commenting. And it is a bit unfortunate to see that Mike responded to another comment similar to this to simply say that he can see misandry is alive and well, which I personally think is not just incorrect but also immature Everyone is course entitled to their own opinion but it is disheartening to see so much sexism. It unfortunately reads like a lot of 'nice guys' and/or men who feel like they themselves got screwed in a divorce and have let that colour how they view cases like this if not the rest of their lives.
She was disingenuous with the court as was her client. He also got after the husband for not answering a question. Assuming that one can act out without repercussions because of gender is not enlightened it’s insulting to everyone involved.
This judge is unnecessarily rude and abrasive. And, I say this as a person who watches LTWM a lot and usually agree with the men. He cuts the female attorney off immediately, but the male attorney is good to go.
This whole thing fascinates me, because here in the UK we've only _just_ allowed cameras to record or broadcast the verdict part of a trial or court case. But certainly not the entire process from start to end. At least for criminal court, I'm not sure if civilian court has also had restrictions on allowing cameras or broadcasting of the entire process - but I don't remember ever seeing any footage from our courtrooms.
As a CPA, rare but I’ve had to work with attorneys to untangle shit like this before. Interesting case! Thanks Mike, it is a bit like one of those random case studies that you don’t think you’ll ever see in real life. Messiest webs in my opinions are family farms but they’re also some of the best clients 🤣
I mean,shes making 300.00 an hour to do the work the judge excepted her to know&have so..not sure why anyone feels bad,she didn’t do a very good job at all
@@jenh7417 She could have done a better job, but to be humiliated like this in front of everyone is not cool. If I don't do a good job, I expect my boss to tell me behind closed doors, not shout at me to "shut my mouth" in front of everyone. I'm surprised he didn't throw a swear word in there. Extremely unprofessional.
@@jenh7417no one deserves to be treated that way. They never got a chance to even speak, she tried to tell him what was going on but he was beyond rude to her.
Hey Mike, I am dying to see 2 different court cases. I watched the pre-meetings and I don't know if the cases actually went to trial yet but would love to see them!! One is with atty LAwson (?), she was accused of stalking and the other is a custody case with a mom who thinks she knows law. The last I saw her she had tried to get 2 different judges recused and she was very aggressive. thanks
You're talking about the mom who was also a witness for another person trying to get the same judge recused, right? She's blonde in some videos and I think blue haired in the other?
on the replay crew and ty for however gifted memberships. I did get one so thank you. I wish I could afford to be a member for all my law people but just can't. Ty again.
Someone like Judge Webster is no nonsense but Arth is just an a$$ and lacked so much professional in this video. I'm personally disappointed in his behavior and I'm also disappointed in the commentary on this video. I also feel like his behavior was bordering on sexist if not outright sexist. I'm not giving either of the lawyers a pass on their shortcomings and certainly anyone can disagree but this is my strong opinion after watching this video.
What did he say that was "abusive" If you think that is abusive you and everyone who liked the comment are ultra sensitive and if you get your feelings hurt during your life it is most likely just you.
Honestly I feel that because the judge is a man and the attorney is female and, in my opinion, took things personally and showed herself to be weak says nothing about the judge and everything about the attorney. It’s so unfair and frankly insulting to expect the judge to tiptoe around her feelings or treat her any differently simply because she’s a woman. That’s not the exact opposite of equality among the sexes. You can’t argue for equality and then argue and become enraged every time you see it…
@@LTrain312 Yes, I agree, however, I don’t believe the judge was treating the other attorneys as harshly as he was treating her and in my opinion his mannerisms toward her but not the others leaves me to believe he simply doesn’t like or respect her. Judges should not show any biased toward anyone in the court regardless of their feelings. That’s part of their job.
Both of those attorneys are...not the best. Hernandez won't accept service/find a place for his client to accept service on motion? And hasn't completed all the terms of the orders? And Godwin is making wild requests that don't make sense and is getting shaky at the least bit of resistance from the judge.
The woman's lawyer sounds like she's about to break into tears 😔😔 he was really unnecessarily rude to her 😔.. and yes, I'd know as I too do family law.
Well then be prepared for the hearing. Know how to lay a foundation for your bill. Don’t bring issues before the court that you have not attempted to discuss prior to court as required by law. The judge would have been perfectly justified in simply denying her requests for not meeting basic legal standards. Frankly that is what would have happened to me. She was given extra opportunity and now it’s being spun as rudeness it boggles the mind. I understand everyone isn’t an attorney and doesn’t know that which is why I tried to give it some perspective.
Because he still owns the property apparently. Her getting the rent was apparently part of the temporary order in place. It is messy. The order didn't tell her she had to pay the property taxes either. It's the property owner's responsibility to pay the property taxes absent some kind of agreement.
Mike - you should make a tee-shirt/hoody with ALL the sayings on them for those of us who can only afford one or two. Unless you want to give us all one free!!!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Holy shit, I've been binging zoom court videos for months now but this is the first time I've almost had to turn the video off. Hearing her try to speak while choking back tears gave me so much anxiety. Because I've been there many times lol. The only thing going through your head is "DONT CRY" but that just makes you want to cry more.
This hearing was a mess because the attorneys were not prepared and also that judge is a jerk. He yelled at the lady saying she told him property taxes for a different property when she clearly said the high chaparral one. I don't blame the attorney for almost being in tears.
Agreed! I was actually disappointed with his behavior. I know these lawyers were ill prepared and didn’t seem to know how to allow others to speak before speaking themselves, but there was no reason for the judge to be so dismissive and condescending.
Have you been watching the mark Jensen ( antifreeze) trial? That judge is absolutely appalling!.. and has had a vicious go at both sides! He's truly a nasty piece of work! Considering 2 previous convictions in this case have ended up being overturned, I'd hasten to think that so will this one, due to the judges attitude! He stops court at 5pm whether either side is mid-flow or not! Fridays session was stopped in the middle of a video for goodness sakes 😳😳 He also sends the jury out whenever he wants to talk to the lawyers.. won't even do a sidebar! Can you imagine if he presided over the Darrell brooks trial?.. the jury would have been kicking it in the jury lounge for weeks 😂
At first I thought that the husband was present. I second guessed that when the judge ignored the wife's attny, asking her all the questions but only asked hubs attny, didn't direct any questions to him. His attny brings up his accident, you know, the one he scolded him for🤣. Judge says abt the bandage.. so I look closer. Mr V hadn't moved in almost an hour, wow it must be showing his picture. Then all of a sudden, he moves!!! It was him!!! He stood there for an hour!!! Not moving a muscle.. Did the judge know he was there or not? 'Yes' lol But in all seriousness, that judge was extremely rude to the woman attny & Mrs V. Then he's up there drinking and stretching 🤔 would he do that in court? Power tripping, to me anyway. Just an observation.
I agree about more comments from Bigen! I think Mike was getting a little too excited and cut him off a few times in the moment. Sometimes you have to just talk over lawyers Bigen. :)
It sounds like she wants to force him to start completely from scratch. With nothing to his name and all the assets going to her for sale or whatever. She wants him punished.
She just wants to make him pay for everything. The laywer knowingly lied for her also. If she doesn't get sanctioned it will make lying in documents and to the court a joke.
I I thought I was the only one who saw this. The wife/petitioner was answering the judges questions about the taxes, the property, etc. and he kept making mistakes. To say that she’s being dishonest is not necessarily true.
@@JoJoTinkRN Did you notice the wife's attorney waiting 5 seconds after the judge stopped talking before she answered after he ordered her to do that? Loved it. Total malicious compliance
I'm actually appalled this judge treated Ms. Godwin with such disrespect. I totally understand she might not be the brightest bulb, however he was very rude & unprofessional as far as I'm concerned. I feel like Mr. Valazquez attorney was not much brighter however he wasn't treated with disrespect. Just my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
I agree. You can assert your authority without being disdainful and disrespectful. Comments sections are filled with people who seem to admire people in powerful positions who lord it over others, for some reason.
@@snoopyco07xactly!!! She should know as a lawyer that she should NEVER cut the judge off she should also know court is not a free for all & you can not just blurt out whatever you want whenever you want especially if you’re the lawyer!!
She’s about to cry because she isn’t following the rules, and isn’t getting her way. She doesn’t seem to be a good lawyer, maybe she’s new. There is a difference between stern and rude. I think she might not be good in court.
Wow. This judge is either very rude or having a very bad day... I'm going to go ahead and say he's just an asshole. Wow. To humiliate someone publicly like this is NOT cool. 46:50 Mike, he's telling the judge he scolded his client, because he sees the judge is in a scolding mood, this way they have something in common and the judge likes him more.
Oh my gosh, I just realized this dude re-modeled our bathroom several years ago. We paid half up front and the rest when he finished. About 2 years later he called my husband and said we had not paid him!! Thank God for proof of pay by check from the bank! I really enjoy your channel!
Oh wow! Good you had proof.
What you want to bet she cashed the check and didn't mark it paid...
Wow 😳
No wonder they have multiple lawsuits pending
He took the check & cashed it, she had no idea. Bet some of the lawsuits were for not finishing or doing horrible work!!
Mr Velazquez looks stapled to the wall..he hasn’t moved or even blinked
I thought it was a photo 😂😂
And it looks like he has tape or a bandage on his forehead and eye.
LMAO

Some of the properties could be owned in the name of a company, and therefore wouldn't be in their personal income tax etc

He was a douche. On a power trip. No need to talk to attorneys that way.

To be fair Ms. Godwin is a little bit loose with the standards and facts, but Hernandez was not forthcoming with facts to a sufficient standard.
The judge is a total a-hole demanding not be interrupted, but not letting her finish. The haranguing is a little nasty and vindictive.

Maybe it's different in the state where this case is being heard, but I understand one must own and primarily reside at the property in order to claim homestead exemption.
This judge is my least favorite. Dang
I want the fewest words necessary to answer the questions. Perfect t-shirt for cops when they in counter sovereigns!
This just is super cranky! But I love when judges and attorneys force whoever they’re questioning to only give a yes or no answer.
When it's necessary. This guy is just being a prick.
When Godwin is testifying about attorney's fees, she is literally about to break down and start crying...sheesh
“He’s getting hosed”. But did you catch he strangled her? Neither are angels.
It’s mind-boggling how many people in this comment sections are ignoring the attempted murder and simply dragging the woman
“It’s complicated”
Sounds like a good clip for commentary on other videos.
Sounds like a good clip to have all engaged couples watch before exchanging vows. Also, for all couples wanting to go into business together!!

He was working for a man named Francisco Montoya? "My name is Francisco Montoya.." (Princess Bride guy?)
"Hello. My name is Francisco Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die”
Inigo Montoya
Godwin sounds like she's about to cry.
Seriously. The shaking voice is getting more grievous as the call goes on. I wonder if there's history between the judge and Godwin.
I don’t care for this judge. He asks a question then angrily shouts down the answer. He refuses to listen while forming aggressive judgment.
These 2 attorneys are as ill-prepared as it gets. Did they think this judge would just let them hover just above ineffective counsel?
How can you say that when they're not allowed to even talk??
Thanks guys! My Lord, I went through this in a divorce where I created a successful business with my stay at home wife and she got the business and drove it into the ground! The reasoning was that she raised the children (while I busted my ass) and so since I was gone so much building the business, the kids suffered. So why not give her the house, the kids and the business she had no idea how to run?
Tough one ... That sucks
that is so ass backwards.. sorry mate..
31:15 Mike, was she “sloppy” … and BIGEN was a reason for her _possibly_ (although have you seen her before other judges)_ being “about to cry” *the fact that THE JUDGE TOLD HER TO WAIT 5 SECONDS before answering…* ⚠️ then cut her off / refused to allow her to answer _AS SHE WAS WAITING HIS DIRECTION TO WAIT 5 SECONDS_ *which applied ONLY TO HER* ❓❓❓
Do you both _really_ not see the double standard❓
Mike knows he’s a chauvinist. It’s literally part of his brand _(“Naughty adventure fund”)_ … and sometimes like his political views, he acknowledges it.
*But pretending the you both & the judge are not treating her reaction differently* _based on how THE JUDGE treated her_ *is pretty ridiculous.*
31:30 She “sits in awkwardness” _as you called it_ *because **25:23** HE COMMANDED HER TO WAIT 5 SECONDS* before SHE ALONE was allowed to respond duh❗️❓
I'm glad that there are at least some people like yourself that see and understand this. It's incredibly frustrating to see so much open bias not just by Mike, who openly admits his bias, but by other viewers that are commenting. And it is a bit unfortunate to see that Mike responded to another comment similar to this to simply say that he can see misandry is alive and well, which I personally think is not just incorrect but also immature
Everyone is course entitled to their own opinion but it is disheartening to see so much sexism. It unfortunately reads like a lot of 'nice guys' and/or men who feel like they themselves got screwed in a divorce and have let that colour how they view cases like this if not the rest of their lives.
She was disingenuous with the court as was her client. He also got after the husband for not answering a question. Assuming that one can act out without repercussions because of gender is not enlightened it’s insulting to everyone involved.
This judge is unnecessarily rude and abrasive. And, I say this as a person who watches LTWM a lot and usually agree with the men. He cuts the female attorney off immediately, but the male attorney is good to go.
Yep!!!
Totally agree
Do you think there is a possibility that she will be better prepared next time? Judges don't like their time being wasted by incompetence.
Yep. She is not allowed to talk, but happy to hear the male attorney ramble on about the guys injury from a tile which has nothing to do with trial.
The difference is the male attorney isn't speaking over the judge. From my own personal experience, judges don't like it when you do that.
I love this judge.
The goat screaming is everything
This whole thing fascinates me, because here in the UK we've only _just_ allowed cameras to record or broadcast the verdict part of a trial or court case. But certainly not the entire process from start to end. At least for criminal court, I'm not sure if civilian court has also had restrictions on allowing cameras or broadcasting of the entire process - but I don't remember ever seeing any footage from our courtrooms.
I love that the judge is calling out thisLawyer
As a CPA, rare but I’ve had to work with attorneys to untangle shit like this before. Interesting case! Thanks Mike, it is a bit like one of those random case studies that you don’t think you’ll ever see in real life. Messiest webs in my opinions are family farms but they’re also some of the best clients 🤣
I'm a CPA too! This kind of stuff is always a delight to listen to :-) Job security!
My screaming goat was delivered this week lol!
30:25 this poor lawyer is fighting back tears sooooooo hard it kinda makes me feel bad for her.
Me too. I do feel a little bad for sure.
I mean,shes making 300.00 an hour to do the work the judge excepted her to know&have so..not sure why anyone feels bad,she didn’t do a very good job at all
she's a fraudster
@@jenh7417 She could have done a better job, but to be humiliated like this in front of everyone is not cool. If I don't do a good job, I expect my boss to tell me behind closed doors, not shout at me to "shut my mouth" in front of everyone. I'm surprised he didn't throw a swear word in there. Extremely unprofessional.
@@jenh7417no one deserves to be treated that way. They never got a chance to even speak, she tried to tell him what was going on but he was beyond rude to her.
Lawyer is shook after he told her to count to five
Hey Mike, I am dying to see 2 different court cases. I watched the pre-meetings and I don't know if the cases actually went to trial yet but would love to see them!! One is with atty LAwson (?), she was accused of stalking and the other is a custody case with a mom who thinks she knows law. The last I saw her she had tried to get 2 different judges recused and she was very aggressive. thanks
You're talking about the mom who was also a witness for another person trying to get the same judge recused, right? She's blonde in some videos and I think blue haired in the other?
The lady that likes to accuse people of child trafficking? Lol she crazy
on the replay crew and ty for however gifted memberships. I did get one so thank you. I wish I could afford to be a member for all my law people but just can't. Ty again.
He could possibly be hiding income as well. My ex was an independent contractor. It's so easy to hide when you are paid in cash.
Yep, my brother's dad did this and my mom got screwed in child support for my brother.
Good because bitter exes like steal everything
When they said the devil went town to Georgia in the song…. They definitely didn’t mean Fulton county. 😂
Someone like Judge Webster is no nonsense but Arth is just an a$$ and lacked so much professional in this video. I'm personally disappointed in his behavior and I'm also disappointed in the commentary on this video. I also feel like his behavior was bordering on sexist if not outright sexist. I'm not giving either of the lawyers a pass on their shortcomings and certainly anyone can disagree but this is my strong opinion after watching this video.
What a mess. They’re broke, but own three properties… insane
This judge is abusive to this attorney! He appears to have some personal issue with her.
She is a liar, maybe that's why
What did he say that was "abusive" If you think that is abusive you and everyone who liked the comment are ultra sensitive and if you get your feelings hurt during your life it is most likely just you.
Honestly I feel that because the judge is a man and the attorney is female and, in my opinion, took things personally and showed herself to be weak says nothing about the judge and everything about the attorney.
It’s so unfair and frankly insulting to expect the judge to tiptoe around her feelings or treat her any differently simply because she’s a woman. That’s not the exact opposite of equality among the sexes. You can’t argue for equality and then argue and become enraged every time you see it…
@@LTrain312 Yes, I agree, however, I don’t believe the judge was treating the other attorneys as harshly as he was treating her and in my opinion his mannerisms toward her but not the others leaves me to believe he simply doesn’t like or respect her. Judges should not show any biased toward anyone in the court regardless of their feelings. That’s part of their job.
As they're realizing she's getting all the money's her lawyer is like "aw,crap..."
Mr Velazquez is the only person in the room that seem honest
Thx for the vid Sir Mike. Was fun seeing what happened w Ben @ Blandino ct. He nearly Ran out the Rm! close call. Whew!
Both of those attorneys are...not the best.
Hernandez won't accept service/find a place for his client to accept service on motion? And hasn't completed all the terms of the orders?
And Godwin is making wild requests that don't make sense and is getting shaky at the least bit of resistance from the judge.
He humiliated her.
I wouldn’t pay that lawyer Godwin $30 an hour. She’s incompetent. I don’t blame him for being annoyed. I know I was
The woman's lawyer sounds like she's about to break into tears 😔😔 he was really unnecessarily rude to her 😔.. and yes, I'd know as I too do family law.
Yeah this was unnecessarily harsh.
being talked down to like you're a child in front of a client you represent for 300$ an hour is a little stressful
Well then be prepared for the hearing. Know how to lay a foundation for your bill. Don’t bring issues before the court that you have not attempted to discuss prior to court as required by law. The judge would have been perfectly justified in simply denying her requests for not meeting basic legal standards. Frankly that is what would have happened to me. She was given extra opportunity and now it’s being spun as rudeness it boggles the mind. I understand everyone isn’t an attorney and doesn’t know that which is why I tried to give it some perspective.
I'm not an attorney, but from my perspective, the judge seemed annoyed with Godwin simply because she didn't have her ducks in a row .
@@oooooollllllll boohoo! She should’ve come prepared!!
56:00 Mike’s body language
(Using his hand to try to cover his face) is hilarious during the Judge grillings.
She's getting all the rent, and she wants him to pay the taxes. WTH is that. Attorney busted on that one
Because he still owns the property apparently. Her getting the rent was apparently part of the temporary order in place. It is messy. The order didn't tell her she had to pay the property taxes either. It's the property owner's responsibility to pay the property taxes absent some kind of agreement.
@@jgoemat an utter mess.
good lawd 😂 by 28:00 in Ms Godwin’s voice is breaking like it’s her first court case! Judge got her shooketh af! 😮
Mike - you should make a tee-shirt/hoody with ALL the sayings on them for those of us who can only afford one or two. Unless you want to give us all one free!!!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Holy shit, I've been binging zoom court videos for months now but this is the first time I've almost had to turn the video off. Hearing her try to speak while choking back tears gave me so much anxiety. Because I've been there many times lol. The only thing going through your head is "DONT CRY" but that just makes you want to cry more.
Heather looks like she’s perpetually about to cry. 😅
This hearing was a mess because the attorneys were not prepared and also that judge is a jerk. He yelled at the lady saying she told him property taxes for a different property when she clearly said the high chaparral one. I don't blame the attorney for almost being in tears.
Yeah, he’s not paying attention. And I can’t stand judges who flex their power like that
That Matt Foley setup basically came gift-wrapped, huh? Great work!
The judge is really being an ass today. He isn’t normally like this.
Agreed!
I was actually disappointed with his behavior. I know these lawyers were ill prepared and didn’t seem to know how to allow others to speak before speaking themselves, but there was no reason for the judge to be so dismissive and condescending.
Yep, 💯 percent agree. He's needs a slap on the wrist for his behavior. It's abhorrent.
He was acting like a bully.. not nice at all
Have you been watching the mark Jensen ( antifreeze) trial? That judge is absolutely appalling!.. and has had a vicious go at both sides! He's truly a nasty piece of work! Considering 2 previous convictions in this case have ended up being overturned, I'd hasten to think that so will this one, due to the judges attitude! He stops court at 5pm whether either side is mid-flow or not! Fridays session was stopped in the middle of a video for goodness sakes 😳😳
He also sends the jury out whenever he wants to talk to the lawyers.. won't even do a sidebar! Can you imagine if he presided over the Darrell brooks trial?.. the jury would have been kicking it in the jury lounge for weeks 😂
agreed being a real grumble bum
This judge and his way of speaking annoyed the F@ck out me. I almost ripped my ears off.
At first I thought that the husband was present. I second guessed that when the judge ignored the wife's attny, asking her all the questions but only asked hubs attny, didn't direct any questions to him. His attny brings up his accident, you know, the one he scolded him for🤣. Judge says abt the bandage.. so I look closer. Mr V hadn't moved in almost an hour, wow it must be showing his picture. Then all of a sudden, he moves!!! It was him!!! He stood there for an hour!!! Not moving a muscle.. Did the judge know he was there or not? 'Yes' lol But in all seriousness, that judge was extremely rude to the woman attny & Mrs V. Then he's up there drinking and stretching 🤔 would he do that in court? Power tripping, to me anyway. Just an observation.
Love this one, Mike! Thank you both for the entertainment via commentary. Would like to hear more insight from Bigen for sure.
I agree about more comments from Bigen! I think Mike was getting a little too excited and cut him off a few times in the moment. Sometimes you have to just talk over lawyers Bigen. :)
Did anyone catch the “maid service” on her budget? I would think if you were having such a hard time paying your bills you would clean your own house.
I am a bit confused, she wants access to all the business social media accounts but doesn't want to actually run the business herself?
It sounds like she wants to force him to start completely from scratch. With nothing to his name and all the assets going to her for sale or whatever. She wants him punished.
Did you hear the judge? Maybe she just doesn’t want the guy to destroy his business with his shitty SM management
I just joined ! But I’ve been watching ur videos after stumbling on to it. Love ur channel mike. Entertaining and learn a lil along the way
Few things make Arth angry like wasting his time
She just wants to make him pay for everything. The laywer knowingly lied for her also. If she doesn't get sanctioned it will make lying in documents and to the court a joke.
I know in Calif a ‘long term marriage’ is 10 years With no kids and less than 10 years, why is this even in the courts still?
Exactly
If you’re gonna become a lawyer, you should probably learn how not to cry in court.
My husband is Mexican, he never answered OR questions correctly, 10 years later it still drives me absolutely crazy 😂
Wow Mrs. Goodwin is so taken aback by the judge’s attitude that she’s about to cry.
That is a nasty judge, I don't care what he is he doesn't have to act like an ass
When I escaped a DV situation, I took what was mine before and left and filed uncontested to move tf on with my life. This whole thing doesn’t add up.
44:42 i feel like I'm taking crazy pills. She was saying the same thing the whole time! This judge is a pen*s
I I thought I was the only one who saw this. The wife/petitioner was answering the judges questions about the taxes, the property, etc. and he kept making mistakes. To say that she’s being dishonest is not necessarily true.
@@JoJoTinkRN Did you notice the wife's attorney waiting 5 seconds after the judge stopped talking before she answered after he ordered her to do that? Loved it. Total malicious compliance
I just want to point out that I am so fat, I am a thrupple all on my own😂😂😂
I'm actually appalled this judge treated Ms. Godwin with such disrespect. I totally understand she might not be the brightest bulb, however he was very rude & unprofessional as far as I'm concerned. I feel like Mr. Valazquez attorney was not much brighter however he wasn't treated with disrespect. Just my opinion 🤷🏻♀️
She seems to walk away with everything! She even got his name!
How does the judge not understand that she can’t operate the business without the website and social media accounts ridiculous.
Yeah thats what I was thinking. As someone who does social media for a living it's infuriating. These days social media's are your company life blood
Didn’t she say she doesn’t want to run the business though. That part confused me.
I think the judge is being rude. He doesn’t have to talk to her that way…I think she is about to cry. This isn’t right
I agree. You can assert your authority without being disdainful and disrespectful. Comments sections are filled with people who seem to admire people in powerful positions who lord it over others, for some reason.
She doesn't know how to answer questions. If she is that fragile, maybe find another career path.
@@snoopyco07xactly!!! She should know as a lawyer that she should NEVER cut the judge off she should also know court is not a free for all & you can not just blurt out whatever you want whenever you want especially if you’re the lawyer!!
This case would have went on for hours if the judge hadn’t kept it on the rails
She’s about to cry because she isn’t following the rules, and isn’t getting her way. She doesn’t seem to be a good lawyer, maybe she’s new. There is a difference between stern and rude. I think she might not be good in court.
Wow. This judge is either very rude or having a very bad day... I'm going to go ahead and say he's just an asshole. Wow. To humiliate someone publicly like this is NOT cool.
46:50 Mike, he's telling the judge he scolded his client, because he sees the judge is in a scolding mood, this way they have something in common and the judge likes him more.
