Paternity Court

I love this TV show. The judge isn't bias but her words helps to get both sides voice heard, no matter how petty. She educates the ignorant and uplifts the hurting. Some cases are very messy and immature you feel bad for the men treating innocent children so poorly. Even the animal kingdom would help raise and protect a baby that was abandoned but hearing some of the things these men have said to young kids is terrifying. This TV show is a wake up call!!! Don't have children with children!!! Be careful who you lay down with. There is humor and irony in every story. There has been some really good tear jerking moments with stand up men and grandmothers. Long lost siblings or parents reunited. The best part to me is how the men say the women "gets around" but has 3 kids with her or still sleeping with her. It says more about there reputation or character then it does shaming there mothers, especially when they turn out to be the father!!! This TV show is a good birth control method for young men and women as a reality check when sleeping around reproducing with the wrong type of people. Child support, paperwork, saving evidence, dealing with the other person after falling out, family feuds, manipulation,rejection you name it!!!

Between ads for Pay Day loan companies and ambulance chasing lawyers, you can watch Paternity Court. The perfect show for those who sit around in a mumu and curlers while their 8 children run roughshod through the trailer park.

The show has some great episodes, but the legal advice is not very good.

You can't just "decide" you are going to be a child's father because you "want" to. The other baby daddies may come along and challenge you. You have NO rights to a child if you are not the father unless you adopt the child.

The Judge is great at trying to get everyone to work together, it is inspiring. But it is not realistic.

Feel like most if not all of the episodes are genuine. Keeps me entertained. Find myself watching multiple episodes at once. Glad there's so many I've been watching non stop for a good 2 months and keep finding new episodes.

Yes, each episode could be done in 2 minutes since the DNA test is really the only concrete evidence the courts will accept. This show is about the drama leading up to the test results revealed at the end. Judge Lake does a good job navigating the chaotic and dynamic relationships presented on the show.
