The ex-wife of Judge Luis Gonzalez has been canned from his court along with nine others amid statewide layoffs.

Gonzalez, the presiding justice of the Appellate Division First Department in Manhattan, has been accused of letting nepotism run rampant in his court, which was almost $400,000 over budget. He is under probe by a watchdog after The Post reported that he claimed two homes as a primary residence.

The judge’s ex, Vivian Gonzalez, was hired as a $65,000-a-year clerk in December. Also laid off was secretary Mark Estrada, the son of the judge’s ex-driver.
