There will be a new judge presiding over "Divorce Court". Former "Judge Faith" star Faith Jenkins will headline the long-running syndicated program effective July 2020. She will succeed Judge Lynn Toler who has departed after 13 years on the show.
On "Divorce Court", produced by Lincolnwood Productions and distributed by Fox First Run, Jenkins will provide judgement for all the cases brought to mediation on the program, ranging from divorce court proceedings to other domestic disputes.
She is only the third arbitrator on the program since its 1999 relaunch, following Mablean Ephriam (1999-2006) and Lynn Toler (2006-2019).
“I started watching Divorce Court in law school, so to be now joining the show is quite surreal,” Jenkins said.
“My legal expertise combined with my personal life experience – including years of dating in the world of social media and technology – provides me a unique perspective that will inform my empathy and judgment for many of the issues couples raise on the show.”
“We are confident that Judge Faith’s energy and passion for each case will build on the legacy of this program created by the exceptional talents of Judge Mablean and Judge Lynn Toler,” said Stephen Brown, EVP of Programming for Fox Television Stations.
