A group of New Jersey women have banded together to take on a Monmouth County family court judge, who they claim favored their wealthy and sometimes criminal ex-husbands in their divorce cases. One 42-year-old woman alleges that the judge awarded her ex-husband custody of their three children even after he confessed to involvement in a mob-related murder in the 1990s.
The five women have written to the New Jersey governor and other lawmakers in effort to get the judge, who they claim has a vendetta against the opposite sex, removed from the bench. In a letter to the governor, one of the women said she "no longer believe[s]" in the fairness of the state's legal system because of how the judge handled her divorce case.
