Catie Scott-Gonzalez went to an oral surgeon today to have her mouth fixed so she can eat solid food again, the latest step in recuperating from a vicious beating inflicted by her husband in front of a judge who was finalizing their divorce.
Her husband, Paul Gonzalez, a former Marine, became enraged when Judge Ronald Rothschild ordered him to pay child support for the couple's two young children. The hearing -- and the alleged beating -- took place in the judge's private chambers at the Broward County Courthouse last Friday.
"The two things that triggered him the most were the child support and custody," Scott-Gonzalez, 23, told ABCNews.com. "He advised the judge that he thought child support was unconstitutional."
When Rothschild reprimanded Gonzalez, 28, telling him he'd go to jail if he didn't pay child support, the former Marine erupted, Scott-Gonzalez said.
"He had told the judge he was going to take the kids and nobody was going to see them again……I looked at the judge to see the judge's response," she said. "When he came after me, it was from behind…he started strangling me with his left hand and started hitting me on my face with his right hand."
The first blow to her head had knocked her unconscious. Bailiffs had to taser Gonzalez twice to subdue him. The Ft. Lauderdale woman spent three days in the hospital with a broken nose, fractured cheekbone and broken jaw. She was so badly beaten that her children, Isabella, 2, and Nathaniel, 3, didn't recognize their mother.Wow! The nerve of this man to beat this woman like this for not handling his responsibility!
