Battle for Child Support 

I really enjoyed this case. The plaintiff spoke so much truth at the end about breaking cycles and being there for his son. There needs to be more fathers like him!

I love how she tried to act high and mighty, yet was fast to throw him under the bus and keep his money lol

almost shed a tear listening to the plaintiffs words at the end of the clip. he may not be perfect but he’s doing well for his son.

This was a wonderful case and this father is absolutely amazing. Exceptional. ❤

She cannot be too afraid of him after 11 years and the nerve to take her child's support money when she know longer has custody of the child. Imwhen the courts grant custody of a child to the noncustodial parent, especially a father, you know there is a huge problem when the child was situated with his/her mother.

She smiled and smirk through out the whole case, I didn't believe anything she said... Great Guy need more like him

Pops is all right with me, he speaking straight facts in the end💯

She tried to paint this man as a woman beater but she was telling half the story that she was violent with him.

She didnt want him to go because she wanted to keep collecting........smh

JM said "I know u thought u had some extra money"🤣🤣 he took me out wit dat one

Since the plaintiff’s Child Support was all paid up, technically, the defendant was taking food out of her own child’s mouth, clothes off his back, etc., by continuing to collect and spend that money. The plaintiff sounds like an awesome father, and a good man who can acknowledge the mistakes of his past, and have enough wisdom and foresight to help his son avoid making the same mistakes in his future. I wish every father could see things the way he does.

This was one of the best cases I've watch on his show. Need more father's like that

We need more father's like him 💯

This touched my heart. A great father. Im in tears watching him stand up for his kid.

Best case ever he spoke nothing but the truth and absolutely took responsibility and accountability for his wrong doings. Laid it out completely. Men and women please take notes, better yourself.

Such a commendable dad!!! Thank you for been excellent!!

Dad spoke with such passion. All of that was from his heart.

She immediately jumped into being so “fearful” of him and the one and only incident she mentioned was something that happened 11 years ago. Not saying she doesn’t have a reason to be afraid if it happened how she said but I felt she emphasized that one moment to attack his growth and development.

That father gonna make the audience 😢

She just need to go on with her life and stop living in the past. This man is doing what he’s supposed to

Thank God this MAN got his child....from that terrible lying girl

The defendant is trifling 😂😂😂 she knew that she didn’t deserve that money especially when he’s raising the child

Whew that man gave a word at the end. I say all the time as a father myself, yes children need to understand kindness as well as how to conduct themselves appropriately and furthermore, as a black father, if we don’t teach them at home first, the streets will teach them and the streets are a lot less forgiving. I believe had they stayed together, being a 2-parent household, that Bible/Street influence from both would have been very effective.

Kudos to dad👏🏽👏🏽 I love to hear a dad so passionate about his son/ kid♥️♥️ this was a great case!

People can sit right in your face and lie so much it’s ridiculous. That’s exactly why I trust no one. She ought to be ashamed of her self. Smh

Awesome, wonderful father. We need our black men to continue stepping up, taking lead and showing our young men the way. Despite the false narrative, that black men are deadbeats, many of our black men are truly stepping up today to do what's right. As mothers, we should be supporting them, put your emotions aside and support each other. Very pleased with this father, you can clearly see he has an outlook for his sons future to be bright, prosperous and great and does not mind doing the work necessary to mode his son into a man. People can like it or not, yes women can raise a boy to become a strong adult, but a woman cannot raise a boy to become a Man.

This was a great case. And he seems like a great father 🙏🏽

Appreciate that JM didn't interrupt the plaintiff at the end. Bravo 👏👏

So this judge is just going to pretend like this woman didn’t just lie, about an assault that she committed.. This woman is pure evil, SMH…

This is probably one the best cases I've seen involving a great, knowledgeable father

Father is on point 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

He said a mouthful! Good father I must say.

I loved how the dad expressed his love for helping guide his son on the right path

Even at the end she is still talking like she is a victim smh!

"I would not lie to you" I would just steal from my child.

Something tells me she have used that same story in Family Court as well tearfully. 🤔

“Tell her to give me a call” flexed on his ex like that 😂

She thought bringing that incident that happened years ago up that she was gone get some grace .

I'm glad he won. 1 for the team💪🏾

This made me cry I pay 400$ a month child support and can’t see my daughter smh

I totally agree with dude some Women raise their sons to be a little "soft". As a man, they have to know what's it like and not live in a "bubble" all naive to the HARSH realities of the world living as a man. Teach them the real. Not baby them all the way

She really tried it in the beginning with that story.. terrified of this man after all these years? She ended up looking real shady and sorry in the end. Good episode!

Powerful speech from the father.

I loved this cases and at the end she had her head down bc I think he touched on some things she needed to hear from him I hope they are able to co parent together & get counseling they are still good parents overall they just have to communicate without anger

Goodness this man got me tearing up over here..got mad respect for him

I hope he put her on child support since he has the kid

I have a habit of googling these people.

What a great father! The son is blessed with good parents.

She’s a classic con artist. Told a half azz story like he ran outside acting crazy.

We need more fathers like this. That take responsibility and honor what it means to be a father.

I just hate how she was trying to paint that man as a monster. Thank god when he spoke all of that was just nonsense. That’s a good brother and I wish the best for him and his son.

We need more men like him. He almost made me 🥲 Beautiful

I don’t think he needs counselling for a fabricated one off incident which occurred 11 years ago besides he comes across as a fantastic gentleman / father . She strikes me as a pathological liar and a deceitful woman who took money that belonged to her son.

Oh, so how much I can relate to this. Angry, envious, evil woman. I didn't even have to go to court to take care of my child. Left signed cheques with her and made her fill in an amount every month until I had gotten her up to $600 per month. During this time, providing groceries, paid for his school, bought his books, took him on trips at least six times yearly. She was a "Bible Thumper" but was only hiding behind that Bible. Took her to court for custody and she lied her ass off and made some serious allegations. Even said I wasn't taking care of my child. I took out those cancelled cheques over the years and she was busted. Judge reprimanded her. She couldn't even take care of the basic stuff like helping with my son's schoolwork and had him in a mentality where he was supposed to be satisfied with mediocrity. Envious because I had my son at one time and had him in a private Catholic school due to the higher level of education and discipline. Even went up to someone whom I was dating and told her that she doesn't know me and wait, she will see who I really am. Anytime she wasn't dating I knew, because she tried to antagonize me. Son just turned twenty-five years last month. Not where I want him to be just yet; have to get some of those negative thoughts out his mind and motivate him. Reminded him that if he were still with me, he'd have gotten his Master's degree at twenty-two to twenty-three years old. She's now married. I guess she's so-called happy. Did my homework and doesn't know that I know that her husband, who's also a "Bible Thumper" has spent time in jail for several DUI and a couple times for domestic violence in a previous relationship. He can beat on her all she wants, if it gets to that, as long as my son isn't involved in anyway. My job is to protect him.

I'm proud of his father that he's taking his initiative with his son and is not easy to be a parent because I you know I raise my sons at the single parent mother so you know at the same time it was really hard people think it's easy it's not easy and you know some mothers they have a lot of kids and think it's easy it's not easy so I'm glad the father is there for his son that's the right thing and the mother and you know I hope they get along and get the counseling and they need help God bless

So we are going to sit here and pretend she wasn’t trying to stiff him out of that money? She knew she was not entitled to the overpayment of money and hoped he would just let her get away with it. Mathis let her off easy.

That was 11 years ago. Tf ... if that's all she got, stop the cap.

I am very Proud of that man for turning himself around and acknowledging what he did and made a better life for Himself and his son. I love positive outcome, Only god knows we need more Of them and fathers stepping up To the plate!

Moving is expensive and she did it every year.... my goodness

Ive been to a lot of schools growing up......bouncing around like that, losing friends, starting over, etc.....created social issues for me as an adult. Im quick to walk away from relationships of any kind 😔

Something about the mother is critically unstable, my heart sincerely goes out to her, I am a single mother and I #KNOW the trials but we also need help when we need it. I know I did. Shout OUT to POPS 💯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

She moved the son around way too many times, reminds me of how many times my parents moved my brothers and I around because of their crack addiction. Wonder why the JM didn't try calling her out on that...

I feel you brother!! take your son! show him the way.

They both are in a bitter custody battle like playing Russian roulette with their son.

tell her to give me a call! that was hilarious 😀😀

Amazing father

How is she afraid of him but not to afraid that she kept his money 🤔

She tried to throw him under the bus as a woman beater from 10 yrs ago..she's pitiful and that's why she doesn't have custody of her son living of his child support 🙄

Good guy... I see the pain in her because their relationship didn't work. But she has to understand in spite of their differences the kid needs his father. 🙏🏾

She really tried it lol 😆 😂 🤣 😅 pay it up ma'am

Not only is you keeping money that belongs to the father but shouldn't she be paying him

13 schools within 14 years?????!!!! WOAH!

Time stamp 9:35 - 12:19 and on is REAL TALK ‼️ We NEED more STRONG Black Men like this Brotha‼️💪🏾✊🏾🫡

This was a wonderful case! This father is a good example as a role model for his son!! God bless him❤

its not about you JM !!

Plaintiff said some great things.. I only wish we had more cases or fathers like this 👍🏾👌🏾🤙🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

That dude speaking truth. But as always judge Mathis made it about himself.

Definitely need more dads like him

I didn’t go through the courts with my kids dad we just agreed on a set amount and he paid it with no problems.

Shelton just crest the greatest moment in judge Mathis history

Both of them have pain and hurt from one another. I hope they heal and love each other and leave the past behind.

That’s a word!! Great Job dad!

GREAT JOB FATHER

I noticed JM didn't ask mama was she paying child support 🤔

The judge should've asked her if she now pays child support

Never seen or heard a men speak 🗣 that well on this show . Salute king 🤴.

Finally A Man With A Voice!

I respect the brother.. especially at the end.. well said..

"I would not lie to you." Ma'am, you basically, lied by omission.

After the plaintiff’s account regarding their altercation, when their Sun (son) was 3, she smirked, as if to say, “okay, I did that…so”. From that point, she lost all credibility. She went to court in a attempt to deceive the judge. And if she was to get away with it, just like with receiving the overpayments of child support, she would have certainly taken advantage of those deceptions.

I’m curious. Is she expecting for the wife to be with them in these counseling sessions!! 🤨

Dad was speaking facts

I hope she knows her son is gonna see how she lied on his father. That’s very damaging to a young man

as much as they may not get along, he sounds like my daddy. I’m a 53 yr old bf and my daddy was hard on us or what we thought was hard. But i’m so glad he was. We bypassed a many relationship problems by following his advice. I hear all these young men n women today talking bout what doesn’t matter when choosing a person in a relationship. Lots of these people reasoning is trash.

The dad a real one

His speech made me say yessuh, as a young man these are the men we listen to

Girl stop!! She started off trying to have him look bad from 11 years ago.. but her son been to 13 schools in 14 years… right! Smh

She was being sneaky

Another woman putting her needs over the child smfh glad he got his son

I like hearing how Judge Mathis has relationships with other judges.
