JUDGED, GAGGED, SEPARATED, SILENCED: OC Judge Retaliates Against Quadriplegic Mother Tar Nolan and the Journalist Who Reported Her Truth

A Court Ruling That Echoes Far Beyond One Case – Court of Rumors, Not Law

On April 16, 2025, Orange County Judge Kimberly Carasso issued a final ruling in Nolan v. Nolan that stripped quadriplegic mother Taran Nolan (known as “Tar” and “Taran Strong” on Facebook) of custody and issued a five-year restraining order in favor of her ex-husband, James Nolan. The ruling, filled with unsupported, unbelievable and inflammatory allegations and glaring contradictions, has become a disturbing window into the deeply dysfunctional, retaliatory, and corrupt operations of the Orange County District Attorney’s office and the Orange County Superior Court’s family law division. This is part seven in the series on the Nolan v. Nolan case. Readers are encouraged to read the first six articles linked at the end of this article.This is the kind of case that demands national attention—like the Dirty John saga, which also unfolded in Orange County.
