In this episode of Divorce Court, Ruben Galindo and Nancy Galindo face each other in court to settle their troubled marriage. Ruben and Nancy have been together for 25 years and have two children. The couple's troubles began when Ruben was laid off from his job and was out of work for six months, leading to financial stress on the family.
The couple has been having difficulties communicating effectively, leading to arguments and misunderstandings. Nancy claims that Ruben is too controlling and does not trust her, which has caused issues in their relationship. Ruben, on the other hand, feels that Nancy does not respect him as a provider and that she is too focused on spending money.
During the hearing, both parties lay out their grievances against each other and attempt to convince Judge Faith Jenkins that they are in the right. The judge listens intently to their arguments and tries to get to the root of their issues by asking pointed questions.
Nancy argues that Ruben is verbally abusive to her and their children and has a quick temper. She claims that Ruben has made her feel worthless and that he has refused to go to counseling to work on their issues. She also claims that Ruben has been cheating on her.
Ruben denies the accusations, stating that he has never cheated on Nancy and that his anger issues have been exacerbated by Nancy's lack of respect for him. He claims that Nancy spends money frivolously and that she has ruined their credit score, which has made it difficult for him to find work.
Throughout the hearing, Judge Jenkins provides sage advice to both parties and attempts to help them see things from each other's perspective. She encourages them to work on their communication skills and to seek counseling to work through their issues.
In the end, Judge Jenkins renders her decision, which will determine the fate of their marriage. The couple is visibly emotional as they anxiously await her verdict.
