A disgraced former judge was sprung from jail yesterday after he finally came up with some of the money he owes his ex-wife and kids.
Deadbeat dad Reynold Mason forked over $30,000 of the $250,000 he owes his ex-wife, Tessa Abrams-Mason – enough to convince Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Joan Lobis to let him out of jail after 3½ months behind bars.
“It’s a happy day,” Abrams-Mason said.
Her lawyer, Robert Dobrish, said the amount Mason came up with is “minor given the circumstances,” but his client needed the money to help their three kids, aged 9, 14, and 16, get by.
Mason, 57, had been living in Georgia since he was booted off the Brooklyn bench in 2003 for dipping into a client’s escrow account.
