EXCLUSIVE: Judge Rules In Tamra Judge’s Favor and We Speak To Tamra FIRST!
Congratulations are in order to Real Housewife of Orange County Tamra Judge. Why? We have details and an exclusive comment from her below. Today, she faced ex-husband Simon Barney in court, as he was trying to contest their custody agreement and claim Tamra was a bad Mom. The judge ended up dismissing the case due to a lack of evidence, which is no surprise to us as we KNOW Tamra is a great Mom.
We spoke to Tamra tonight who told us that “the judge ruled in my favor. Custody will remain at 50/50 for Spencer and Sophia. We will go back to court in December for my older daughter, Sidney, after she starts court ordered therapy.”
How is Tamra feeling after this? She tells us, “I am very excited that it is over for my kids sake. I’m looking forward to repairing my relationship with my daughter that Simon ruined.”
We could not be happier for Tamra!

as I myself went through an extremely simular situation I am so so so happy for you and your beautiful family. I myself have issues with my oldest son thanks to my ex-husband so I feel your pain over Sydney. You have always been my favorite I can relate to you in so many more ways than one. Congratulations Tamara finally after all that moron put you through things are finally in your favor. I wish you all the best I admire your courage your strength your honesty and just as you are as a mother and a woman. God bless you all you deserve all the happiness in the world I will always be a huge fan as I said I can relate to you and your past it sounded all too familiar. So happy for you all I wish you all a thousand more years of happy family memories.
yes same here. my ex tried to get custody away while i was battling a severe depression. i had to be in hospital to treat it so i gave him temp custody. being a foster parent for 10 years i had some awsome character witnesses. in the end the judge said i did all the right things and awarded me full custody and also raised the child maintance after he quit his job so that he wouldn’t have to pay. what angered me was the fact that he taped my children asking them who do you want to live with? daddy or mommy? who does that?? they were 5/3 and also the fact that he read my personal diary didn’t help him in the least as he squirmed uncomfortably in his seat while everyone in court glared at him. i think some men just can’t handle that wives have voices and are heard instead of silencing them. it’s a sad time and of course the children suffer and they are blind to this hurt. very sad indeed 🙁
i am a father of two boys and I think it is ridiculous that women are automatically awarded custody because of their gender. I am fighting and spending every dime I make just to get a chance to se my boy s Max and Jameson 2 &4 max has cancer and she won’t even let me speak with them
Good luck. I agree that everything should be considered when awarding custody. My brother won and raised his daughter as a single father, she is a very smart successful woman. Has a collage agree, owns her own business, is a wife & mother!
yes, good luck to you and Max
It’s not automatic any more. I know several women who have lost custody because the spouse made more money and could provide more material thninggs for the kids. Money and connections are what’s automatic these days. It’s sad that people have to fight over kids to begin with (except in cases of abuse).
It’s a really interesting point and a really important conversation
Good luck! Ykcivw@gmail.com
I agree with you 100 percent Kelly. It should’t be automatic. Both my brother and brother-in-law won custody of their children based on who was the better parent. I got custody of my children because i am the better parent. He didn’t really want them anyway…in fact he fought me when I offered every other weekend and one night during the week and he only wanted one night during the every other week.
Sick disturbing man to reject visitation.
Good for you
Congratulations on her win? Did I miss something. Her oldest daughter still doesn’t talk to her.
Wow!! Congratulations! There’s hope for me. I am literally in THIS situation right now with a court hearing on Nov 7th. My ex has turned my 12 Yar old against me & it’s been the longest & hardest few months of my life. I am hopeful that my outcome will be exactly like yours. Staying positive & strong as best I can.
Best of luck to toy
I went thur the same this with my daughers father . He was a control freak just like Simon. Your daughter will see right thur it when she grows up . These men dont care about the kids! They use them ! I am happy for you and i hope that Simon grows the hell up. Its about the kids! Not him. Your a great mom and he should be ashamed of himself ! Poor little man.
I have three daughters who haven’t talked to me in over nine years, due to their father’s influence. Worse yet, he obtained custody through false accusations and eventually moved them almost two thousand miles away. While fighting for custody, (or even visitation), the judge would not even entertain the idea of Parental Alienation Syndrome, as though it wasn’t a real thing. Hopefully, this is a sign that the courts are more savvy these days and can see through the lies and manipulation and do what is truly best for the children! It’s the children who suffer…My girls will never be the same, the damage that’s been done because they grew up without a mother, is irreversible, as is the damage from growing up with such a twisted, abusive example for a parent.
so sorry to hear that
Good for you Tamera. I hope your daughter get the help she needs in dealing with this situation.
yeah for you Tamara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tamra, I SO commend you for going to bat and opening the door for your children. This is a matter that any decent Mom SHOULD be doing, being the children aren’t behind those closed doors listening to what they should not be hearing. I WANT to say “Congrats” to you, but the “Congrats” are really in that of the hands of those who actually made the light shine for these children. The JUSTICE system! It is THEM, the children, who are having to pay for all of this in the long-run and who deserve what is rightfully THE TRUTH. It is so very unfortunate for them, but they will see the struggles, for themselves, that has been had by all concerned.This all breaks my heart in so many ways, as being party to both sides of the spectrum. Now, as an adult, I find that no matter how much money or fight that was put out there on my behalf, it was ME who made the life-long decision of where my heart should be. Why is it that the children are the ones who, in all actuality, have to do all of the “paying”? Tell me which side of that 50-50 is the REAL savior? The 50 that is burnt or the 50 that is still raw? Anyway you look at it, we, (the children) are still paying for the mistakes of others.
I hope for the kids sake that eveyone is on the up and up because, I was from a very messy and volatile divorce and was put directly in the middle. I was NOT going to do that to my child. I kept my mouth shut. Never ever said anything bad about his dad in front of him. I figure he will learn when he gets older and he has. Now, my husband was not a bad person, it was his girlfriend/wife that was the instigator in this mess. Now he is a 30 yr old grown man and see’s his father and most def his “stepwitch” and I am thankful for keeping my mouth shut for all those years. I certainly don’t think anyone ever “wins” in a custody battle, especially the children. Please walk on eggshells with your oldest Tamera, cause I will tell you this, if you even whisper bad things about their dad, it WILL come back to haunt you for the rest of your life……it will NOT be pretty for you or your children…..they will eventually figure it out on their own, and they WON’T need your help!!!!! God Bless.
Stop with the negative comments about Dad,it will go along way for your girl. Just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean they should the same way. When you were married i’m sure you made sure they loved and respected him. That can’t change kids have a way of figuring out what they need to so sit back,kill him with kindness and uou will be so happy in 10-15 years from now.
Im in the same situation. Divorced from a manipulative, nasty control freak. He made sure he was in my daughters ear from an early age. 10 yrs old and she now lives with him and wants no relationship with me her mum, her grandparents or her friends, just her father. He did the same to me and the teenager he dated after me. Its been 9 mnths of hell with no light in sight.
I love how she blames Simon for ruining her relationship with her oldest daughter.
I agree — he can’t be 100% responsible…
This is not good news. Putting your young children through this is critical to their development. “Court ordered therapy.” Fighting over kids? That is not what we so as parents!!! Simon is a control freak, and all he cares about is hurting Tamra, and he will go through his kids and destroy their little souls just to cause Tamra an ounce of havoc. In the end, there is NO WIN when your children are suffering. My oldest’s father and I have had so many battle a and differences. But we always end up coming together and staying out of court and keeping Sophia (my oldest) in mind First and Foremost…ALWAYS! I have threatened court and so has he. But we have only gone once when she was 5 months old and didn’t know. Today, she’s 7, and we keep it neutral and the co-parenting thing works best if you can drop the hatred and move on from one another. I wish Simon and Tamra to be able to so this one day, although, it seems like it’s too late. The kids are damaged over all of it already. It’s very, very bad. Don’t call this a “win” and stop congratulating her. I am totally on Tamra’s side with this. And Simon is a POS for everything he’s done to her and her children. But keep in mind what you’re “congratulating” about.
Why do people keep making these people famous? This country is full of stupid fukwads living their sorry azz lives through this trash.
She maybe a good mom. But, she’s a pretty shity friend!
Shame on her ex for playing with his children’s minds!!! Has ever heard the term “co-parenting”? You need to do what is best for your children at all costs. His opinion of his ex is none of his children’s business and should not be shared with them. Shame on him!!!!
really, you believe anything this stupid woman tells you. It really boils down to her not wanting to pay support.
