Nathan Birnbaum had told Heather Breshears that he did not want further conflict, that he would visit his children, and that she had 60 days to leave a home he owned. Breshears viewed the communication in the context of a larger pattern of alleged harassment. The judge saw a different question: were the protective-order filings addressing an immediate threat, or were they connected to a dispute over relocation and custody?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/35e2f486-074d-4bfd-80f2-abec71042077-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Long-Distance Custody Dispute Set the Stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The case, identified in court as Birnbaum v. Breshears, placed Nathan Birnbaum and Heather Breshears on opposite sides of a dispute involving their two young sons. Birnbaum told the court that the children were five and two years old. The parties lived in California, but they were separated by roughly 500 miles and had reportedly been living that far apart for at least 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/f40cff66-555d-4188-abc6-b8b8b77d160b-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Although Birnbaum and Breshears had never lived together, they shared parental responsibilities. Birnbaum acknowledged paternity and said he had been required to hire attorneys to establish his parental rights in both matters. He testified that he hired an attorney approximately seven months after the first child was born, in 2019, to pursue visitation and custody rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/5626e8f1-306d-44c3-8f82-6a68bfaf9208-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The arrangement initially gave him Monday-through-Friday parenting time during the third week of each month. The distance made that schedule difficult. Birnbaum said he was responsible for traveling to pick up a child, bringing the child back to San Diego, and returning the child afterward. Judge Judy immediately pointed out the practical problem: a school-aged child could not simply be removed from school every third week of every month. By the time of the hearing, the custody structure was still being addressed through arbitration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/05b5d6e7-2421-46c1-9ba9-7ee6ec6aac6b-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Protective-Order Timeline Became the Case\u2019s Central Evidence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The court then moved through the protective-order history. According to the testimony presented in the episode, Breshears first filed for a protective order in July 2019. The emergency request was denied, and Breshears later dropped the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A second emergency protective order, or EPO, was issued in December 2021, after police came to her home, according to her testimony. The order was never made final. No hearing took place, and the matter was described in court as dropped or not pursued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/4efab928-3863-4ed9-9f6b-5eec56868a64-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Breshears filed again in January 2024. She was denied a temporary restraining order, and the matter went to a hearing before being dismissed. A further request was filed on June 24, 2024. Breshears said a temporary order was issued ex parte, meaning it was issued after her initial application and before Birnbaum participated. The parties later appeared before a judge, but the hearing did not produce a final protective order as described in the SRT. The paperwork instead addressed venue: the custody matter was transferred to Fresno County, while the restraining-order venue question was taken under submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/e595a209-9f0a-40cc-99ca-004132a60092-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">When the Fresno court\u2019s role was discussed, the episode presented language indicating uncertainty over whether the allegations duplicated an earlier request that had been denied there. Judge Judy treated that procedural history as important because Birnbaum was seeking monetary compensation for what he characterized as a series of false restraining-order filings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/d24ae7bc-f458-470a-8962-2e4f8ec9e814-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why Missouri Became the Turning Point<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The dispute took on an interstate dimension when Breshears acknowledged that she had considered moving to Missouri to live with her sister. She said the plan had been discussed with Birnbaum beginning in October and that she possessed emails referring to court proceedings related to the move. Birnbaum opposed the relocation, and the episode showed an order denying the move-away request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/5e227c89-9aa2-40ae-82ac-9a973f1bb87b-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">At the time of the hearing, the move to Missouri had been denied. Birnbaum said both parties were planning to remain in California while they worked toward a more permanent arrangement, and the testimony made clear that the custody case was still ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/457f7550-beaa-4d08-b67c-3b4a8e5bdc8b-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Breshears explained that her reasons included family support and access to healthcare for a child who had been born prematurely. She referred to Mercy Children\u2019s Hospital and the availability of specialists for breathing issues. Judge Judy was skeptical of that explanation, particularly because Breshears\u2019 sister lived in Missouri and because the move had already become a contested custody issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/88cae220-5ca5-4f33-8162-5865dd0734d0-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The judge\u2019s focus was not simply whether Breshears wanted to relocate. It was whether the protective-order filings could have given her an advantage in trying to leave California, which the judge described as the children\u2019s home state. Judge Judy identified that as the possible motive behind Birnbaum\u2019s accusation; the SRT does not establish that motive through independent evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/21618c6d-d97d-4285-b31a-2b080999b78b-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Allegations Reviewed by the Court<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The January 2024 application referenced incidents involving Birnbaum and Breshears\u2019 daughter, including a confrontation dated November 24, 2022. The account described an argument, profanity, and an instruction for the daughter to leave the house. The record also indicated that Birnbaum owned the home where Breshears lived and that she paid rent there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/fd2a0886-9ba0-4d1b-a500-90009a69f978-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The application separately referred to an incident dated December 17, 2021, when the youngest child was in a neonatal intensive care unit after being born prematurely. In the account read aloud in court, Breshears said Birnbaum came to the home, told her to perform household tasks, became angry when she told him to leave, and punched her in the face. She said she called police after Birnbaum left for his home in San Diego and later obtained an emergency protective order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/0c9ec03e-242a-4c8f-b568-0679cf594f08-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Birnbaum disputed the account. He said criminal charges had been brought against him and claimed the criminal court found that Breshears had lied about the incident. However, he did not have the criminal paperwork with him, and the transcript states that the criminal case was dismissed. Because the SRT does not provide the underlying records, this article does not independently verify either party\u2019s account or the precise criminal-court findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/93f22315-8abf-4d8e-8a10-3f811c4da898-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Message Judge Judy Said Was Not Threatening<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The most consequential exchange concerned messages beginning in December 2023, around the time Birnbaum learned that Breshears intended to move to Missouri. Breshears characterized his communications as threatening and harassing. Her application stated that he contacted her almost daily, threatened to take the children, enter her home by force, take her to court, and otherwise caused anxiety and distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/56c16906-e5ac-4c07-8d06-0b974e2ff588-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Judge Judy then examined a message from Birnbaum. In it, he said he did not want further conflict, wanted to visit his children peacefully, issued 60 days\u2019 notice to vacate, and stated that he would visit the children as planned before returning to work. The judge repeatedly asked what, in that message, constituted a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/912dfeee-3e20-4a4d-a0be-b18f183a2604-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Breshears responded that the residence was her primary home and that she paid the rent. Judge Judy focused on ownership: Birnbaum owned the property, while Breshears was the lessee. The judge concluded that a demand for the owner\u2019s home to be vacated was not, by itself, the subject of a restraining order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/e9784bb6-6d33-4a99-83fd-b5f6842f5f1f-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The exchange shifted the case from a broad dispute over the parties\u2019 relationship to a narrower assessment of the evidence supporting the January filing. Judge Judy stated that the court had to determine whether the protective-order requests were being used as a strategy in the relocation dispute. The SRT records the judge\u2019s conclusion and courtroom reasoning, but it does not provide the full case files or independent evidence beyond the materials shown during the hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/2cb956c5-d49d-499f-92f3-4518a57e615b-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The $10,000 Judgment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Birnbaum sought $10,000 in damages for what he described as a series of false protective-order filings, including legal fees, travel expenses, and lost wages. After reviewing the timeline, the relocation issue, the allegations, and the messages, Judge Judy ruled for the plaintiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The judgment was entered in Birnbaum\u2019s favor for $10,000, and the court was adjourned. In post-hearing comments, Birnbaum said he wanted to see his children and avoid further conflict. Breshears said she wanted him to focus on parenting rather than arguing with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/446e8404-063e-4666-beeb-5822fa2860bf-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The episode ended with Judge Judy emphasizing that fathers have parental rights and that an involved parent cannot simply be cut out of a child\u2019s life because the other parent wishes to relocate. Those remarks reflected the judge\u2019s stated view during the program; they should not be read as a complete statement of relocation law in every jurisdiction. The courtroom\u2019s immediate result was clear: Birnbaum received the $10,000 judgment he requested, while the underlying custody dispute remained ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.igallery.blog\/assets\/af9d6b2312d54a5376d2a4e19eed7f6a\/2026\/0818\/168e3b15-50e5-4124-9baf-136e812d3f52-image.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did Nathan Birnbaum sue Heather Breshears?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nathan Birnbaum sued Heather Breshears for damages he attributed to allegedly false protective-order filings. He sought compensation for legal fees, travel expenses, lost wages, and related costs. The court awarded him $10,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many children do Nathan Birnbaum and Heather Breshears have?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hearing stated that Birnbaum and Breshears have two sons. Birnbaum testified that the children were five and two years old at the time of the hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did Heather Breshears receive a final protective order?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the testimony in the episode, the protective-order matters discussed were not finalized in her favor. The December 2021 emergency order was not made final, the January 2024 case was dismissed after a hearing, and the June 2024 matter did not result in a final order as described in the SRT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did Missouri matter in the case?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missouri mattered because Breshears had considered moving there to be closer to her sister and for stated family and healthcare reasons. Birnbaum opposed the move because it would affect his relationship and parenting time with their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What was the final judgment?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judge Judy entered judgment for Nathan Birnbaum in the amount of $10,000 for the series of protective-order filings he alleged were false.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judge Judy\u2019s attention narrowed to a single message.
