Long-Lost Love 

She needed to sue her mother for emotional distress for not helping her find her dad

The father is a class act!!

That is his twin!!! Such a great story❤

This is SO nice to see. People who have love in their hearts.

This is crazy. You suing your potential father but saving your mother. This is straight crazy!!

I wanted him to be the father as much as his child did. The mother knew it all along, but she was too shamed of what she did to this man to face him.

I sat here and cried so hard for her. I know she's behind happy.. I wish them the best.

Shame on her mother

I'm happy for them both. This was the most beautiful and humanly reconciliation ever.❤

So glad they’ve been uploading the older episodes

This is truly the "best" Paternity case I have seen on any show. Both people involved showed respect. And, even though they both felt a lot of emotion by not knowing if they were father and daughter, their voices remained calm; no yelling, no cursing, "no drama." I am glad they can now have that father daughter relationship.🎉🎉

A lot happened within that 9 months. Geez! So sorry they got cheated out of a father/daughter relationship! This Throwback made me tear up! - JM was trying to get ALL the tea! - I would LOVE an update to see how they are now!

Imagine suing a man they didn’t even know he had a daughter

She wants a relationship with her father but she is sueing him..

The fact she sued him for money when her mother is the villain is blowing me .. fuck the happy ending lol

BEAUTIFUL ending ❤ 🙏🏼 She should've got that $$$ fm her momma, she's the culprit! I'll never understand ppl who deny children fm knowing who they come fm unless crime was involved!

The momma's know they be on some bullcrap, when they dont show up for cases like this.

It is horrible that she is suing this man, I think she should be suing her mother.

keep the classics coming we love them please and thank you❤

This was tear jerker, and I knew before the judgment, that JM would offer to pay for his trip to see his new found family.

No way was she 33 at the recording of this episode.

I watched this episode when it first aired. So happy you uploaded this one. Love JM so much. Been watching since the beginning. Love and peace to everyone!

Hallelujah! Praise the the Most High, for HE is worthy to be praise! Father I thank you for joining this family together. For you alone had made this possible. I beseech Thee that you bless our Judge, Judge Mathis, his health and strength as long as he is on earth. Selah. Bless his beautiful wife and their family. You are truly a merciful GOD. You sit so high yet looks so low with a kind, loving, unnderstanding and forgiving heart. For your mercy endures forever. A way maker, a miracle worker, a lamp to our feet. Whatever is hidden in dark shall come to light....glory. I pray that there love and peace will never run dry. For your mercy endures forever. This is my prayer, this is my request, in the name of your only begotten son, my lord and my redeemer, Christ Jesus the Messiah. I’m the least of your servant,s, yet I humbly Thank You for being my GOD. Amen.

This one brought me to tears and I am so happy for both of them to have found each other . Just think if she never tried to look for him he would never have known that she existed. Women like her mother make me want to regurgitate. That is because I am a 65-year Young Widow who never gave birth to children. I would have loved to have done so but I guess it wasn't God's will. Nevertheless, there are women out there that don't deserve children or don't want them and or will lie and not tell the father that they exist such as in this case. I pray that they are able to continue to be close and love on each other for the rest of their lives. I'm glad that her children have a grandfather and actually a second grandmother to be frank. Keeping it real or stepmother will probably be more of a mother and a grandmother than her own who sounds like she has serious psychological. She is a cold-hearted woman to have kept her daughter from her biological. She will surely reap what she has sown. It sounds like her daughter has forgiven her for her actions and that speaks very well of her character. Peace and blessings always to them both 🥰🙏💯

She can sue her father, so she can fly him to meet his grandchildren why doesn't, she just ask him to come.

GOD BLESS JUDGE MATHIS...OUTSTANDING

Fun Fact: At 13:12, the hugging between the father and daughter were seen on Seasons 10, 11, and 12 intros of JM❗️

Me being a 43 year old man and never met my dad ever are don’t even know who he is this brings me joy

Why sue him? The mom is cause of all this.

You can't make someone have a relationship with you. Suing him so if she wins she can fly him to meet his grandchildren. Sorry, but that is ridiculous.

Aww he’s choking back tears

BEAUTIFUL FATHER AND DAUGHTER FAMILY I LOVE THIS 😊

Forgive me, but I was hoping he wasn't her father because of her lawsuit. He's already suffered enough because of her mother lying to be with another man. Suing him so you can pay for an airline ticket for him shows she's learned some unkind ways from her mother. I pray she doesn't take advantage of his kindness.

How you going to try and sue him and talk about I could get child support. Like yo, sue your nasty mom. What you suing this man for

They look so much alike this was so emotional for me😢i wish them the best,god works in mysterious ways🙏

Best most heart warming video of 2023!

Now y'all know that lady is older than 33!

Sucks but this is how so many fathers are painted sorry when the mothers is the reason behind it all.

she called her Daddy gorgeous! 🥰😍 So beautiful

Absolutely beautiful family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's never too late to heal broken hearts

Simply Beautiful!!💞

Her step father accepted and raised her so she has a father. She's luckier than some. She should be happy with that.

Yass throwback! Hey fam 👋🏾

Girl, your mama was fast! It’s no shade towards her, but it’s Factz! We all have a past and mama needs to be honest smh

oh yeah she looks just like him😂😂😂

All the basicallys in the world wont change the fact her mother was skanking around

Suing him for emotional distress 😂😂

Tearing up 😢❤

Must be honest to have shed several happy tears just now !

I think that was the most best case ever!! Need more great Fathers like Ovid. Congratulations 🥂!!

These evil mothers be destroying their children’s lives with lies and secrets. You don’t have to like the man anymore, but that child has a right to be apart of their fathers life.

Kudos to Judge for taking the tab

Beautiful ❤

I'm led to believe that this was probably before they started getting in touch with former litigants since there's no follow up on this one and there's a few others that don't have follow ups as well

This was one of the best shows ever 🫶🏽

Her Momma is a Trip!!!🥴😩

60 Seconds in...U can tell They're of Kin. Cheekbones & shape of eyez.

How long we been asking for classic episodes? Keep them coming please and thank you especially the 1999 ones

This was so beautiful.

It’s silly that she’s suing this man and she knew that he didn’t even know about her. She needs to be suing her mother. Why did she wait until she was in her 30’s to look for him🙄

They look like twins! Lol 🤗🙏🏾

She was mad at the wrong person.

Only way she can save face for her mother is not to talk at all.

HIS BEST SHOW

Ok tears on this one with feelings as the mom thinking I’d been forgotten and left behind. So much more to say but can’t, can relate to him…. It’s complicated….

This is upsetting...

I sympathize with her but her momma is no angel and she needs to get on her as well

I think she could have gone about this differently.

Beautiful

She needs to take her mother to court if anything. The mother didn't even tell him about her, and she ran off with the man she cheated with.

Her mother is the one who is to blame, she needs to explain to her daughter, why she didn't try to find her father she could have received child support. l am thinking she moved on with her husband and probably thought,her daughter would never seek her biological father, or she didn't know if he was her father or she did tell him,she was pregnant, but maybe, he didn't believe her or couldn't get out of his active duty. Also maybe he didn't try to stay in contact with the mother, but she should have told her daughter

Omggggggg this was cryinnnnn I’m happy for them both… she need to sue the mom and for JM he’s always amazing and make me smile 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

They do look alike . I am sooo happy for them 😊

I’m so mad at her mama lol

JM she doesn't know, she wasn't born🙄gosh. Let her tell her story

I noticed when they wiped their eyes at the same time in the same way period as well as look at her and look at him they're twins!

He had ever right to stop talking to her. Because he is not her father, or if he is not sure he is her father.

Beautiful outcome! Bravo 🙌 Judge Mathis!!! ❤️⭐️🙏🏽🙏🏼

I don't know why people participate in the court could find this information. Now you can do it on your own, you can pay on your own. Everybody wants to have kids and get a free f****** hand out To find out who the father is.

Shame on her mom thotianna

The resemblance is pretty stark. She must be the spitting image of him. So he could be for sure his biological father.

She was going to take the money that he owes her to fly him to Ohio that's one helluva woman and one helluva daughter👍

Judge Mathis truly a Blessing!!!!

OMG JM was such a bully with her inquiries like she was wrong in her delivery.

Judge Mathis, where are they at now? How is going for them? I really hope they were able to build that father and daughter relationship.

A happy ending thank God 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰❤️🖤💚

That's a good brother

❤❤❤

Yeah. This is the typical scenario of women moving on with "Jodie"! " Aint no use in going home, Jodie has got your girl and gone!"

Honorable Judge Greg Mathis is the Best.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paying for this man's trip to see his daughter and grandchildren.

Obie Trice Real name No gimmicks

🗣JUDGE MATHIS! If you evah do that to me again! You Got some nerve… tearing up stuff.

You can't force a relationship. Her mother was a cheater and he has a life of his own with his own kids! She's crazy!! This is crazy! Poor guy is a rare man. Who is that nice?

More than halfway thru case. She sure looks like him.

It’s not a stereotype if its true

We find a way to make excuses to protect our parent(s) so they don’t look bad, but they didn’t protect us. 🙄

33???? Wow ok let me finish watching 😮

judge get on my nerves!!!!!!!!! lmfaoooo he played on my nerve strings

Can we get an update?
