Please be seated. Hello, Your Honor. Hello. This is a case of McGhee v. McGhee. Thank you Jerome. Good day everyone. AUDIENCE: Good day. Miss McGhee, you've petitioned the court for a DNA test to prove to your estranged husband, Mr. McGhee that he is in fact the father of your 4-year-old daughter, Sir'renity. MISS MCGHEE: Yes, Your Honor. JUDGE LAKE: You claim your husband vanished four years ago after the birth of your child, and has denied fathering your daughter. Yeah. JUDGE LAKE: And refuses to help you financially. Yes, Your Honor. JUDGE LAKE: You're also suing for child-rearing expenses in the sum of $3,617. Yes, Your Honor. Mr. McGhee, you say, you wanted to be a family and that's why you married Miss McGhee. Only to discover that after Sir'renity was born your wife cheated on you and that you may not be the father of the child? Yes, Your Honor. So Miss McGhee, tell me about your struggle in the last four years? Okay well, the last four years of my life with my daughter has been pure hell. I've had to pay for medical expenses for my daughter, I had... My daughter was born with slight autism. <i> That I had to struggle to take her to therapy sessions</i> <i> and everything. He left us homeless</i> with my newborn child. And he just vanished and left us. I did everything by myself for the last four... Almost five years. You haven't helped, Mr. McGhee? Your Honor, I don't believe that Sir'renity is mine. So I didn't see any need to help. MISS MCGHEE: How you not feel she yours when you know me and you were messing around the time I conceived. No, because you were messing around with multiple people. MISS MCGHEE: You was too! And you talk about multiple people before I even had her. I let you know. It ain't like I kept it a secret from you. So... JUDGE LAKE: When did you let him know? I left him know it was a slight possibility he wasn't my child's father. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) I'm not going to sit up here and make it seem like I'm such a saint, like I didn't do no wrong. Cause I did. JUDGE LAKE: If you let him know there was a slight possibility how do you stand before the court today and say you know he is? MISS MCGHEE: Because the dates don't add up and I thought that I was pregnant, me and he were messing around. We were still messing around. Even though he had moved on. Why he sitting up here making it seem like I was just out there? He was messing around too! Your Honor, we were not together when she had been pregnant so... But that's neither here nor there. I know he's my child's father. She could've been messing with anyone. No. And he need to step up and help take care of her. Cause I can't continue to do this on my own! (APPLAUDING) Mr. McGhee, you do admit you were in a sexual relationship with her? MR. McGHEE: Yes, Your Honor. You do admit you were having that sex without protection? Look at that little girl. MR. McGHEE: Yes, Your Honor. MISS McGHEE: Look at that little girl. So, why don't you believe? I don't believe because not only her but multiple family members of hers is informing they think that <i> I'm not the father of the child.</i> <i> It so happened that we had a Super Bowl party.</i> <i> So, we were drinking the stuff.</i> <i> She ended up falling asleep.</i> Sittin' on the edge of the bed her phone ended up going off. So, pick it up... I'm going through the messages I see a message in there from another guy telling about "how's my baby," referring to Sir'renity. So that was like the first indication that I think that somebody else is the father. Then I'm looking though pictures, she got naked pictures showing other men's genitalia. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) So, she supposed to be my wife but that's not me. So what am I supposed to think? We both were committing adultery with each other. He was cheating on me, I was cheating on him. I told him it was a slight possibility he wasn't my child's father. I was honest with him. But that still don't change the fact even after I had her, you married me. So if you had all these doubts, why did you marry me? Why didn't you request the DNA test before you married me? (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) JUDGE LAKE: So... Now, a question, why not request the DNA test before this? I thought I was in love with her. So... You thought you was in love with me? Yeah. Being in love with me don't have nothing to do with you not taking care of your responsibilities. MR. McGHEE: She is not my responsibility. She is your responsibility. There's about three or four other guys that can be her father. Your Honor... I'll pay 25%. Then they can pay the other 75%. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) MISS McGHEE: (LOUDLY) Are you kidding me right now? JUDGE LAKE: Excuse me! This is why I want my divorce, this is why I want him to sign over his rights, and when the tests come back he is my child's father, I want him to help me support the costs that I had to deal with almost five years with my child. Don't you make it seem like that I'm just all out here when you was the one committing adultery too, did you not forget that I walked in on you at our home? (AUDIENCE GASPING) JUDGE LAKE: Whoa. Um... Not a good thing, Mr. McGhee. Your Honor, I'm not claiming to be perfect in this situation. MISS McGHEE: That's true. Yes, I cheated. That ain't... But I didn't father a child... Yes, you did. So, it is possible that... Yes, you did. Sir'renity is not mine. So, dealing with that now from her own admission... MISS McGHEE: Yeah. She tell me that I'm possibly not the father. MISS McGHEE: Throughout our relationship he cheated on me. Who told you? Her mother told me that I'm not the father. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) She told... JUDGE LAKE: Her mother told you... Yeah. You are not Sir'renity's father? Yes. Who is she to sit up here and tell you that you not my child's father when the last time I recalled it was me, you in a van. JUDGE LAKE: <i> Now wait a minute, Mr. McGhee,</i> <i> let's stop right there. You say her mother</i> <i> told you that Sir'renity is not your biological</i> child? MR. McGHEE: Yes. Now, where I can see from the court papers, her mother is here. Jerome, would you please escort Miss McGhee's mother into the courtroom? JEROME: Hello, ma'am. Careful going up the steps. You got nerves. (AUDIENCE MUTTERING) JUDGE LAKE: You need to realize who you gave birth to. I'm your child, he's not your child! That's your grand-daughter. Miss Justice? Thank you for joining us today. We have established that you are Miss McGhee's mother. And yet, Mr. McGhee has testified that you told him that Sir'renity was not his biological child. So do you think Mr. McGhee is your grandchild's father? No, Your Honor, I don't. JUDGE LAKE: You don't? No, my daughter was out there. MISS McGHEE: I was out there? MR. McGHEE: Slut! (YELLING) Excuse me? JUDGE LAKE: Let's be respectful. Excuse me? JUDGE LAKE: Let's be respectful. Was I a slut when you married me? Was I a slut when you slept with me? (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) MR. McGHEE: Yes. JEROME: Mind your language. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) Ma'am, you say you don't believe Mr. McGhee is your grandchild's biological father because... Your Honor, they were in and out of relationship. And my daughter was just out there. We have relationship and she talked to me. Okay, and so no, I do not believe that he is the father because I knew my daughter was out there. And I knew that she had made mistakes. During the time of her conception doesn't match up with him being the father. So why do you think she's saying that he is? I raised her up in a good Christian environment to honor marriage, okay, and my daughter does not want my family or no one to know that she was out there. So if I'm against her, talking against her, then she's going to go against what I say. We have... When this test come back he is my child's father, I want an apology from you, and I want one from you. Because if I was out there, how I know who my child's father is? I admitted to him that I made mistakes throughout our relationship. MISS JUSTICE: Your Honor, we have a relationship and my daughter talked to me. MISS McGHEE: We had a relationship until you betrayed me. MISS JUSTICE: It's not that I betrayed her, Your Honor. I only can go on... You did what you want! What my daughter said to me. That's it! And what did she say? She told me, she said, "Mom, I made a mistake. "I went out there and I did this and I did that," and I immediately got upset because that's not the background setting that I brought her up in. I brought her up in a Christian environment and to honor marriage. She had no business stepping out of her marriage. I can't live her life but I can raise her a certain way, and that's the way I raised her. And it's not my fault that she stepped out and opened up to me. And she won't change my belief. I'm not going to change... Was I the only one who stepped out? MISS JUSTICE: (YELLING) No, you was not. Then how dare you say... If he stepped out, and I stepped out, how dare you sit up here and tell him he ain't my child's father? (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) JUDGE LAKE: Well, Miss McGhee you do understand that we're dealing with a paternity issue relating to Sir'renity. So, if you did have sex with someone else, unprotected, while you were married to Mr. McGhee and you also had sex with him, there potentially could be more than one father. MISS McGHEE: Your Honor, I was honest with him. I've never, I slept with one person unprotected while me and him was together. Just one. And other guy that I slept with, I used protection. I know he is my child's father. JUDGE LAKE: Miss Justice, who do you think is Sir'renity's biological father? (EXHALES DEEPLY) Well, Your Honor, you're not going to believe what I'm going to say. But I'm going to say it anyway. Cause I can't continue to do this on my own! (APPLAUDING) I believe that it's my daughter's future fiance is the father of my granddaughter. MISS McGHEE: Are you kidding me right now? MISS JUSTICE: That's what I believe. Fiance? How can you be married with a fiance? She actually said, "Future fiance." MR. McGHEE: That mean that they already in a relationship. Yes, we are. And I've been in a relationship with him for the last past four years. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) He stepped up... And so... Hear me out. He stepped up and helped me take care of my child, while this one left us bogus. So of course, I'm going to move on with my life, I'm not going to sit up there and keep being bitter. <i> That little girl mean more to me than anything!</i> <i> And that's why he stepped up.</i> JUDGE LAKE: So I have to ask you, Miss McGhee, your mother says, your current boyfriend, future fiance... She believes he is the father. Were you intimate with him during the window of conception? MISS McGHEE: (STAMMERING) Once. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING LOUDLY) With protection or without? Without. (MR. MCGHEE SCOFFS) JUDGE LAKE: Without. So that's two guys now. JUDGE LAKE: Jerome, I would like to meet this gentleman. Could you bring Mr. Coley into the courtroom, please? JEROME: How're you doing, sir? I'm doing good. There you go. Mr. Coley, thank you for joining us today. MR. COLEY: How're you doing? JUDGE LAKE: Uh, you understand we're here discussing the paternity <i> as it relates to Sir'renity?</i> <i> She said you all had sex within the window of conception,</i> <i> unprotected.</i> MR. COLEY: <i> Yes, ma'am.</i> JUDGE LAKE:<i> You agree to that?</i> Yes, ma'am. JUDGE LAKE: Do you believe you're Sir'renity's biological father? Uh, I say, it's a slight chance that I am. JUDGE LAKE: Slight? MISS McGHEE: I say it's a 1% chance. Why 1%? How did you do that math? MISS JUSTICE: Because... (AUDIENCE CHUCKLING) I'll tell you how I did that math. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) Because me and him were intimate more than me and him was. JUDGE LAKE: But you understand that it is not about the quantity, as it only takes one time. One encounter. You're right, Your Honor. JUDGE LAKE: Okay. Let me just understand this though. You were intimate with Mr. Coley. MISS McGHEE: Mmm-hmm. You were intimate with Mr. McGhee. MISS McGHEE: Mmm-hmm. JUDGE LAKE: Wasn't there another person as well? They're not even a part of this equation, 'cause I used protection with them. JUDGE LAKE: With that person there was protection? Yes, ma'am. Yes, Your Honor. JUDGE LAKE: Okay. Your Honor, if Sir'renity is mine, which I highly doubt, I have no problem taking care of her... MISS McGHEE: Excuse me? He wasn't even there through the birth of my baby. You know he left me. My appendix ruptured while I was four months pregnant with my child, and I almost lost my daughter. You know what he said to me? (SOBBING) "I'll be back. I'm going to the store." You know, I didn't see him till a month later. And I'm pregnant with your child. Don't be there one day, and the next day don't! Be there consistently, be there for her, not for me! (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) You went to the store, Mr. McGhee, and never came back for a month? I was in the process of moving into South Carolina. I was in South Carolina. He risked our child that could "possibly" and I quote that loosely like he saying, could be yours? You'd rather bail on me, pregnant, and take the chance let me lose my life and my child's life for moving? That don't make no sense. Step up! If she is mine, then I will, but I don't believe she is. (MISS MCGHEE CLAMORING) So why should I step up and take care of someone else's responsibility? If he has so much doubt, and I stand on this, you should have waited, you should have been there at the paternity test. <i> You shouldn't wait till now, four years later.</i> <i> My baby got real bad asthma,</i> <i> she could stop breathing in my arms.</i> (SOBBING) He was not there! If you had any ounce of this 25%, like you say, that she was yours, you should have been there whether you thought she was or not. You still should have been there. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) Don't wait till now! When I did everything. (AUDIENCE AGREEING) MISS McGHEE: I petitioned to court to sue him for half the costs I had to spend taking care of my child. She's talking about I haven't been done anything for her. But I have receipts to show every week... They're money gram receipts that I'm sending to her every week. JUDGE LAKE: Every week? I'd like to see that, sir. Jerome, will you hand me that evidence? I'll tell you the real truth behind that. He saying it's been multiple money orders, he sent me one for $40. And that's because he called me saying, "You're my wife. "I want some sex." So I said, "I need some transportation." He sent me $40 to get to him so we could have sex. And you know what I did? I took that $40 and spent it on my child because she deserved it more than you deserve some of me. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) MR. McGHEE: Your Honor, no... MISS McGHEE: Yeah. MR. McGHEE: That is not what transpired. She tells me that I'm Sir'renity's father, or not her father as much as the sun rises and sets. She said that Mr. Coley, who's supposed to be such a great father, <i> gets mad that she didn't spend the money on him.</i> MISS McGHEE: <i> What?</i> MR. McGHEE:<i> He's such a great father...</i> <i> And no, you are not a father, you are a leech.</i> MR. COLEY: <i> Your Honor?</i> Mr. Coley, how do you respond to that? MR. COLEY: Mr. McGhee, he's really not into Sir'renity. If they wouldn't have presented the birth certificate, you probably wouldn't know your own daughter's full name. MISS McGHEE: There you go. You don't even know what your daughter get up and asks for when she wake up in the morning. You don't know her favorite color. MISS McGHEE: <i> Mmm-hmm.</i> <i> Instead of hating me you should have congratulated me or loving me because...</i> MR. McGHEE: <i> Congratulate a leech, why?</i> MISS McGHEE: <i> How you go calling him a leech?</i> MR. McGHEE: <i> You're a parasite.</i> MISS McGHEE:<i> And what are you?</i> And what, you're deadbeat. JUDGE LAKE: Okay, the only way we're going to be able to move forward is to get the results. MR. COLEY: Oh, yeah. MISS McGHEE: Yup. (AUDIENCE AGREEING) JUDGE LAKE: Jerome? (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) JUDGE LAKE: Let me have the envelope. These results were prepared by DNA diagnostics and they read as follows... JUDGE LAKE: In the case of<i> McGhee v. McGhee,</i> pertaining to 4-year-old Sir'renity McGhee, and whether Mr. McGhee or Mr. Coley is her biological father, it has been determined by this court... The biological father is... Mr. McGhee. MISS McGHEE: (LAUGHING RAUCOUSLY) How you feel now? Bet you feel stupid now, don't you? (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) JUDGE LAKE: Miss McGhee. You missed all them years. JUDGE LAKE: Miss McGhee, let's be respectful. Because now we've determined that's your child's father. MISS McGHEE: You know what? That's her father, you said it all along. I know and I was right and I want him and my mother, my own mother, now how you feel? (SOBBING) I feel that I owe you an apology, I'll give you one. Yeah, yeah. But you got to understand... You can say because I didn't have to suffer, she had to suffer. Miss McGhee, I can only imagine what it would feel like for you to hear your mother doubt you... It hurt me. Well, you can't confide in somebody and then tell them all your business, and then be mad when they form their own opinion. MISS McGHEE: It's my mother. JUDGE LAKE: No! (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) MISS McGHEE: That's my mother. She just formed her own opinion. JUDGE LAKE: I hope you two can work through this. But most importantly, there's this beautiful little girl. Mr. McGhee, you're her biological father. You doubted that. 25% turned into 99.9%. What you're going to do? (MISS MCGHEE AND MR. MCGHEE CHUCKLING) I have no alternative but to step up and to provide for my child, be in her life as much as possible. JUDGE LAKE: Yes. And do that. Miss McGhee, you came to court suing for $3,617. MISS McGHEE: Yes, Your Honor. Because you said you incurred these expenses raising Sir'renity by yourself. If we give him credit for that $40, the total is $3,577 that you owe her. Judgment for the plaintiff. Take care of yourselves. Court is adjourned. MISS McGHEE: Thank you, Your Honor.
