Teen Parents Get Custody Lesson from Judge Judy | Part 1

Haley claims she has full custody of her baby with Christopher, but she doesn’t have a court order that says that.

#JudgeJudy

The Original! There’s only ONE Judge Judy. Visit our website for where to watch, weekdays.

I went to school with her and her “best friend” no longer wants anything to do with her. She treated them horribly and yelled and called them names while they took care of her son. Her “best friend” actually raised her son and she’s actually a really good friend of mine and she told me what Haley did(not getting into details). Haley now lives in another state and doesn’t visit her son while chris(the father) has their son and takes care of him. The little one is now five years old and he is absolutely adorable and happy as can be❤️

I like how confidently she said that she has "sole custody" like she knows what she is talking about.

As soon as I heard her say she decides when he sees their baby I knew JJ was about to eat her up. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[kyoto]

telling your girlfriend that it is not ok to be a drunk and sleep with other guys is NOT "being controlling"!!!!

[GerardoHernandez-sfwt]

Judge Judy used to preside over family court cases - no surprise she'll tell it like it is.

[Dark_Angel]

She claims that he's controlling, but she won't let him see his own kid.

Having only watched this first one, I can't believe how many guys don't understand that without an order you've got just as much a right to the children as the mother. I put my foot down day one and said nope not on weekends, not at your discretion, 50-50 until we have a hearing. I'm now the primary custodial parent. Fathers have equal rights. They're often just too dumb to know what that means.

[RedPanda]

I wish more dads would fight for their rights

"I have sole custody so I can decide wether or not he can see the baby".
"Because I say so, there hasn't been a court order or anything", she forgot to add.
How I hate this kind of people who consider themselves so entitled to do whatever they want and decide over other people following their own whims.

I appreciate the young man dressing appropriately for court.

[dreampsi]

"who gave you sole custody of the child" town clerk" LOL

[jessypash]

I love when JJ gets family court cases. She’s done it for so long that she is fair, honest and tells it as it is.

[MsBonitaDinero]

"There was nothing so you have nothing" 💀🤣🤣🤣 Judge Judy is hilarious!

Perspective from someone who was in this situation: I had a neglectful and emotionally abusive mother, and was only able to get out due to my father being smart and collecting enough evidence to get custody. For some reason, the legal system is very biased toward moms, and she got visitation even after having it proven she left bruises on my older sister’s face. Right by the nose, and on a girl with a heart condition where stress alone could have been potentially fatal.
There are a lot of wonderful, loving mothers in the world (I hope I myself am currently one). But there are also those who treat their child like their property and would alienate their children from a good father for the dumbest of reasons.
Just as all mothers have the right to be assumed competent parents until proven otherwise, so do fathers. And I say this having carried a child myself. It’s not about who gave birth, it’s about what is best for the child.

“I have sole custody.”

Yeah, because you took the baby with you! That’s not a custody order.

[jdspreest]

I can't stand it when women think that they automatically have "sole legal custody" of a child. No, you don't!! I'm glad when Judge Judy mops the floor with these vile women.

[PrayingPanda]

"He decided to be controlling" in other words, he put up boundaries and she didn't like that.

Them we find out that she thinks that just because she's the mother, she can determine when the father sees their child. Why am I not surprised?

[buu.]

I hope this fella gets to see his baby. Kids need their dads... My husband and daughter have such a wonderful bond...❤️

[clairemcmahon]

As usual straight to the point and wiped the floor with people. Love you JJ.

When someone says I have no documents, pictures or paperwork you know its gonna get good.
