The Real Housewives of Orange County's Tamra Judge, formally known as Tamra Barney, has been going through an ugly custody battle with ex-husband Simon Barney as the father of their three children — Sidney, Spencer and Sophia — claimed the reality star has been "negligent" when it comes to being a mother and has asked for full physical custody of their kids. Tamra is "extremely happy" about the recent win the judge granted her.

But now Tamra is all smiles, after MStars News learned the judge in the case dismissed the motion for full custody for Spencer and Sophia as the former couple awaits the decision of their 15-year-old daughter Sidney's fate.

"I’m extremely happy!” Tamra revealed to Star Magazine, according to Bravo TV. "I’m so happy this nightmare is over for my children’s sake."

"What Simon did to tarnish my image was so damaging to the children. To make up horrible stories about the mother of his children is horrible. I’ve never been anything but a wonderful, hands-on mother to our children. Shame on him for putting everyone through such an emotionally draining experience. I hope that this will stop his constant harassing and make him move on with his life," Tamra explained.

Tamra's divorce with Simon was one ugly time, as the bitter battle played out on the RHOC. Tamra claims the custody war has been "one of the most devastating times of my life."

In a previous statement, the reality star wrote, "My children are my life and I love and cherish them with all my heart. It's a love that only a parent knows. All I ever wanted to be was a mother, just like my mom and my grandmother."
