Judge who presides over Midge and Joel’s divorce.

S3E2 - Wagaman presides over Midge and Joel’s divorce. He attempts to hold up the proceedings when he realizes that they still care about and support each other, but quickly backs up and approves it when he finds himself drawn into their bizarre drama.

WAGAMAN: Mr. Maisel? You're the husband?
JOEL: I am, yes.
WAGAMAN: What are you doing here? Are you contesting?
JOEL: No, sir, I'm not contesting.
WAGAMAN: Then why are you here?
JOEL: Just moral support for my wife.
WAGAMAN: While she divorces you.
JOEL: That's right.
WAGAMAN: For adultery.
JOEL: That's right.
WAGAMAN: That's very modern. It's almost French. But now all this seems a little less straightforward.
LESLIE: Your Honor, the arrangement between Mr. and Mrs. Maisel is completely amicable.
WAGAMAN: Well, that'd be a first.
LESLIE: Well, they are ready to move forward.
WAGAMAN: Ah, I'm not so sure of that. The couple before you, th-they were at each other's throats. That's the norm. It seems like the two of you are something different, and I want to make sure you're not making a mistake here.

WAGAMAN: The two of you, I would grant a divorce, no questions asked. Now, everybody, just clam up, okay? Look, if you two don't want more time to think about it, I can't force you. The petition for divorce is granted. Next case.
