Judge Nan Famular violated my constitutional rights by wrongfully evicting me from my home of 16 years.

Life threw various challenges my way, including divorce, surgeries, job loss, and other unfortunate events, which led to a pile-up of property taxes in New Jersey, a state known for its exorbitant property taxes. Despite having equity in my home, a cascade of interest, fees, and penalties allowed the tax certificate holder to wrongfully seize my home.

In May 2023, the US Supreme Court ruled that the taking of a property for a smaller tax debt is considered to be "Home Equity Theft" and is unconstitutional. (It's been clearly defined in the US and NJ Constitutions for nearly 250 years.)

This situation is just another example of the fleecing of the little guy by greedy corporations and governmental complicity in what I call a "State-Sponsored Mugging". This was akin to being held up at gunpoint and losing everything or paying a $25 invoice with a $100 bill and receiving no change.

Her rulings were woefully incorrect, but more importantly, she displayed a glaring lack of ethics, because she has ownership in the property DIRECTLY next door to my home. Talk about conflict of interest!

As if this is not enough, this was the second time she allowed an improper foreclosure to advance. The first was in 2008, when an unknown third party was allowed to proceed with a foreclosure on my home. The federal court stopped that foreclosure for the outright fraud I exposed in court. While I would like my home back, I ask everyone this question...

Would you want to live next door to the judge who wrongfully evicted you?

After giving birth to my first born son Nan S Famular took him from me because I had some rare diseases. She worked with my ex-husband and had no problem, leaving me homeless in the street. Even though I was a stay at home mom who had tons of medical issues and had a rare bleeding disorder, and I hadn’t got the transfusion. I need it after giving birth to my son and I couldn’t properly recover. She kept trying to have them give me a hysterectomy and writing that in the court orders no doctor would do it because I was still trying to recover from the birth that I had not got the transfusion that I needed wet but she was putting it in that I actually needed it. Can you believe a judge doing that disturbing I didn’t speak at the time I was still very abused by my ex-husband and instead of putting him in prison, for how hard she was, and how badly starved, battered and abuse me, didn’t allow me to drive or ever leave the house she continue to abuse me. She didn’t follow any laws she didn’t even give me half of anything. She left me with only the dead homeless in the street all because I had risk my life to give birth to my son. She took my son completely away from me, because I was a stay at home mom, she took my job for me because I had nearly died, trying to give birth to him and never got a chance to recover because my husband was abusing me instead of giving me a restraining order and giving my son, and I a chance to grow and get healthy. She tortured me and try to have doctors kill me. I don’t see my son anymore. I have other kids he knows he has siblings. He doesn’t know them. I bought my oldest son a dog, and he threw the dog to the streets because of the fact he couldn’t really see me and the way she said that I had to sit with and have my ex-husband who would repeat better and abuse me to death or I would just be allowed to leave the house only to go and stay at an ICU bed to try to recover from near death experiences we had abused me to death. I admit that I didn’t really leave the house because I wasn’t allowed to so I didn’t have much life experience. I had met him when I was quite young I was on educated and I didn’t know anything at the time reading and writing was actually quite hard for me because I didn’t have much of an education and I really need a treatment for my rare diseases but I was denied any kind of help and she only continue that trying to see that I would die in the streets, no one would ever hear my story And making sure that I would never have more children which didn’t work out because no Doctor would go along with it (her) they thought it was horrible and they were horrified to do something so evil. Yahova help us with evil ruining the courts in such a way. LORD GOD have mercy on their [redacted] souls. She still works together with my ex husband in wage and hours now together. Destroying business owners and taking bribes to not destroy people. Shame on them. The eyes of YAHOVA sees all. LORD have mercy the type they never gave to your children. ??

Judge Famular is an awesome judge of character. She is very intuitive and is able to see right through people that come in to her court room and try to bull****t her. I have the utmost respect for her. In my opinion there should be more judges like her on the bench.

I think that Judge Famular is either retired now or is in another unit?

At any rate, my hard-headed, defensive, ETC., ex husband and I had almost all of our Court hearings (FIFTEEN Enforcement hearings that I prompted!) before her.

My dad always helped me prep for ProSe, which I usually was, and even when I had my lawyer early on.

Judge Famular is harsh, a bit cold, and intimidated me. (I stopped dressing up after the first few hearings b/c I felt like she thought I was too pretty / looked too good or something). IDK. I am before her LITERALLY BEING JUDGED!

She seemed to air on the male's side (fell for my ex's blatant B.S.!), BUT EVENTUALLY, I got 90% of what I'd go to Court for.

Judge Famular seems to know the law very well, doesn't waste time, and definitely has the children's best interest in mind.

Throughout court proceedings she allowed Attorney DiCiurcio,who has been disciplined by the Disciplinary Review Board, to file untimely responses for the defendant directly to her office and not through the Camden County Surrogate's Court, which was a violation of the rules of civil procedure.Judge Famular also
permitted DiCiurcio to represent defendant without entering his appearance with the Camden County Surrogate's Court.

Applied for an Emergent Stay of a Sherriff Sale on my home after being run around in circles by Cenlar, I needed a reason to have the Stay granted. Within 3 weeks I had the home under contract with a buyer with the Sherriff Sale looming 3 days away. She denied my Stay which could've helped me. For whatever reason she chose not to..Judge Scamular EAD!

Nasty woman, rude, arrogant. I first met her when she was in " private practice" and found her forgettable.
In court, I witnessed her encourage 2 divorcing attorneys to withdraw their 401ks to pay their legal fees rather than the IRS which they stated they also owed.

I was also present when she bullied thin, attractive women in family court who were pro se, on several occasions and personally had Fat Famular delay a court time without notifying me (whose job is as or more important than hers) due to a request by one of her weasel Haddonfield attorney acquaintances.

I had confirmed the 9am with her poor clerk who didn't share with me that Fat Fam rescheduled to 1 to accommodate her pal. (A young, reasonably good looking male) I took my time off work and waited and then cannot even describe how flippantly she addressed me who was not represented.

She's miserable at work and most likely unhappy at home too. Maybe less so than Mr Famular though!! New Jersey should have elected judges, not purchase your job for life even if you're an A**hole

I have dealt with her on a variety of matters, ranging from probate and guardianship to foreclosure and creditors rights. She is terrible on foreclosure matters for defendants. She is not much better on probate or guardianship matters. She is not a good Chancery Judge, and should be moved elsewhere on the bench.

Totally incompetent. Unprepared, Cavalier attitude.
She has no business being a Judge. You go to court expecting justice when the facts are as clear as they were in my case. Unfortunately for me that was not the case. After hearing her ruling I was incredulous.

Terrible judge; her opinions are often clearly to of bounds with regard to jurisprudence and often ignores evidence presented to her. Clearly biased. A cavalier attitude toward litigants. But it's not surprising that she got the job solely because of her relationship with Bill Tambussi of Brown and Connery. Following her 'non-employment' she pleaded with Tambussi who, in turn, got her a position as a judge in Family Court, only to cause yet more chaos and confusion. No wonder she's in Probate, but yet her reign of terror and incompetence continues, much to everyone's pain and suffering. She clearly does not belong in any position of judicial authority and should be removed forthwith.

I haven't seen the Judge in a few years, however, she was fair even though I was ProSe bc I couldn't afford an attorney.
I do know, however, that her new law clerk, Carly, is the sweetest, kindest, extremely competent person at her job & I hope that Judge Famular is aware of the absolute gem she has in Carly!!! I've unfortunately dealt with so many incompetent, condescending people in regards to my being a disabled single mom whose home is in foreclosure so believe me when I tell you that Carly is that elusive "silver lining"! She went above and beyond her job duties & I'm still floored by her competency & kindness - with all the bad luck I've had, she's that ray of sunshine!!! She makes her parents & Judge Famular proud! She's definitely an asset to the entire Chancery Court! Great Job Carly - way to go!!!!! MT

The UnHonorable Judge Nan Famular is a disgrace to the legal system & should be disbarred. I'm fearing retribution from her & that she will discover who I am yet I have to be honest that she is pro prosecution no matter what the evidence & testimony state. She is extremely racist & prejudiced against women believe it or not & God forbid she's not having a good day which is every day yet extremely bad if it's a Friday afternoon! Good luck!

This judge is worse than bad. I have to wonder also if she is racist. Her courtroom is a joke. We sat in her courtroom and listened to other hearings where she seemed almost decent and a tad bit respectable. But as soon as my wife went to the table, she turned into a nasty piece of vermin and all rules of the court went out the window. I hope the devil rains hell water down on her real soon. I wouldn’t spit on this woman if she were on fire. I’m going to report her. I know it won’t do any good, but I’m going to do it anyhow. Her behavior was off the charts. Any minority in her court is probably in trouble.

Glad others see this judge in the same light as I do. Make no mistake reading this - I won my case. She truly had no other choice. However, I have been a defendant many, many times over (...control freak who wanted custody to stop paying child support) and have never experienced this type of judge. She should be brought up to the Judicial Board. The Judge is OBVIOUSLY Catholic and holds prejudice against others who are not. ...just read through my court transcript. I wanted to bring her in front of the Judicial Board myself but my attorney advised against it in fear I may be in front of her again. She is no longer in Family court so I feel free to express my opinion. ...unfortunately it will only be on this forum since too much time has lapsed. She asks disrespectful and inappropriate questions. There are no reasons for her to treat people as though they are beneath her. She even harassed my daughter. ...trying to get her to agree to inappropriate requests. Thank goodness I raised my daughter right and she stood up to this judge. I was SO SO proud of her! This Judge displays blatant favoritism to those of her "own kind" and if your ex is a police officer or former police officer then you may as well throw in the towel before walking into her court room! I have been SO lucky to have respectful and fair judges throughout this process. I suppose there are always some that slip through the system.

Judge Famular is biased against women and even more so if you are not a feminist mother who works out of the home. She will grant deadbeat fathers anything they ask, even after being caught perjuring themselves and admitting the don't see their children and just "don't see why they should pay child support". She will then proceed to give them joint legal and residential custody with 50/50 visitation. God forbid your child has cancer or any other life threatening illness requiring medication! She will tell the mother (when the child doesn't get the medication at the fathers) to go to the fathers house and give the child the medication herself.

I went before Judge Famular regarding interference with my parenting time on a couple of occasions. On both occasions, my ex was a no-show until she was notified that a bench warrant would be issued for her arrest. When she arrived, she told the judge that she had car problems. Then she turned around and said that she couldn't meet at the place of exchange, which was approximately two miles from her, because she didn't have transportation, and the judged simply told her to let me see my daughter and we were on our way. I lost almost six days of pay, she was a no-show and caught in lies, and the judge did nothing! There goes justice! So, before you refer to someone as a "deadbeat," find out the facts.
