[@bobbiec2829]

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.

[@tipmn2979]

[@ItsMeTracy2023]

Did you not hear just the total of her rental income? 🤯

[@Scubacroc]

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

[@shellywi2354]

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.

[@Scubacroc]

[@every-istand-ophobe6320]

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.

Hey Mike. Is there a way to put you in the upper left corner instead of lower left? A lot of the captions come across the bottom, and for those like me who have a hard time hearing sometimes, we can read along with those captions. With your handsome picture on the top, the captions are more clear. I’m not a computer jerk, so don’t know if this is even possible. If not, oh well. Thanks anyway.

[@Claudia-lq3ns]

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.

[@jeremyjones8872]

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.

[@bend3rbot]

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.

Seemed books were sketchy t he way they kept them or she kept thrm. Imagine wife was in charge. People get karma. Sooner or later she will get hers. Neithet one seem to know how to run a company except maybe run them into the ground. Judge needs a vacation and a bottle of Absolut taken straight.

[@nunyabidness150]

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.

[@ScienceSleuths89]

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.

[@mariek8578]

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!!!!

[@MadScientist267]

[@roadiern]

Exactly what I was thinking too!

[@blakeb9964]

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

[@Moonchaser71]

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.

[@TeeshaMarie92]

"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.

[@Avalanche_Broncos_Fan]

I love how you said that $20k is nothing for a year, how about living on less than that as I do on Soc Sec???😮😢 I used to do apt rehab years ago & construction with my husband . People didn’t think I could help carry a huge roll of carpet … looks can be deceiving. That lady could do all the repairs. The husband looked really shady to me, plus no dr report??? Really?? just in time for court. Hmmm.

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!

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…

[@Stormingnj]

@@laurac2424 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.

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.

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.*

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.

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!

Just curious the male attorney interrupts is fine. The female interrupts and he snaps at her multiple times. I think I see which way this judge tends to lean

[@Juju-nt3cd]

That woman just seems nasty. And her lawyer sounds like she’s about to burst into tears every other minute, old info, doesn’t understand taxes , I’m surprised the judge didn’t tell them all to just f off

[@crescentmoonchild4031]

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

[@-HeyLyd-]

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.

[@snoopyco07]

She doesn't know how to answer questions. If she is that fragile, maybe find another career path.

[@lilojade1748]

@@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!!

[@CN45475]

This case would have went on for hours if the judge hadn’t kept it on the rails

[@jessee7303]

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.

I can tell she was the amazoian queen he wanted, but he fafo and he im sure aince he built it like helen of troy, he dosent wanna find out anymore. Lol poor guy.

[@shellywi2354]

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!

This is the judge they need to send sov citizens to. He obviously has zero patience and seems easily annoyed.

[@Stu-Fu]

Good idea!

[@cheesefriesyo]

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.

[@jadriangarner6374]

[@matthewhall9692]

At 25:25 the judge is just being a jerk. He asked her a question and he was technically interrupting her response to clarify and then you throw in whatever audio delay and that's what you get. I don't think his admonishing of her was quite justified there.

[@rickarra1833]

She's getting all the rent, and she wants him to pay the taxes. WTH is that. Attorney busted on that one

[@jgoemat]

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.

[@ellencox8415]

I think Mike forgot he had a current felony assault charge - strangulation I pretty sure mentioned at the onset against her soooo. Who knows.

She’s a real estate agent, she is scamming, like my parents own this property on paper , but I get all the rent. I think he was abusive tho so if so I’m ok with him getting raked

[@Justme0288]

However frustrated he is with this female judge, he does not need to speak to and treat her that way. It's demeaning no matter the sex of the person. Treat and speak to people respect especially if they are treating you with respect. It's not necessary to act this way. It's disgusting.

all these couples appearing in cases like this are a prime example that you don't get married! or at the very least get a prenup so you both leave with what you came with and work out how to split what's been joined during the relationship.

I’m not saying that the husband is the one in the right but it seems that the wife has taken the majority of the assets! Regardless of an injury or not it seems fair that he gets a share of the rent collected by her for their land. I get the sense that the land and cars were put in other people’s names to protect them from lawsuits from the husband’s business. 🤷🏼‍♀️

This little girl don't even know how or when taxes are due or how to pay them she married him and then divorced him took all of his business from him and there's no way she did any of the business with him I just can't stand it when women go to court and they end up with everything that the man has worked for his entire life it's so not fair

[@ivonnepolk1961]

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

[@upsidedown584]

Didn’t she say she doesn’t want to run the business though. That part confused me.

As soon as the bandages were off, I was released back to my manual labor job, in which there was heavy lifting.

[@liquidsunnshine5245]

I can’t help but really dislike this judge. He comes across and very disdainful and disrespectful during this hearing. Rudely cutting off people to demand they answer more concisely. I get trying to keep people on point, but often he didn’t give them a chance in any way to say anything. Female lawyer definitely seemed sketchy to me and seemed to have provided some bad information to the judge (wrong property/year) and failed to do things she should (requesting info) which really sucks. But male lawyer also does… not providing service or providing contact info for his client. As far as which client is in the right and who is getting fleeced in this situation… I really don’t know. Doesn’t seem actually obvious to me.

[@FCWW87]

Godwin is a basket case…. She seems far too invested in this to be a good attorney. Also, side note, how can he lose his namesake company in a divorce without kids!?! Something wrong there.

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

[@ironicallyxiconic]

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?

[@clarissa8477]

The lady that likes to accuse people of child trafficking? Lol she crazy

[@julieschneider340]

I know you guys are on this man's side, but this judge seems unfairly harsh to the women on this case. The judge hasn't let the female attorney discuss her motion unless it's yes or no answer's and when the judge was asking tax info on home, he made the mistake, not the wife . I re listened to it twice. It doesn't sound like male attorney has made an effort to provide financials or husband's address, so I am not inclined to believe he would answer Jeep questions.
