00:00Mr. Miller, this young lady is your daughter.
00:02The gentleman is her boyfriend, and they have a child together.
00:07And it is your claim that you made a loan to them.
00:10You want it paid back.
00:11You're correct.
00:12Judge Judy, they have a stupid counterclaim.
00:15They say it was a gift and some ridiculousness about emotional distress.
00:20How old are you, Ms. Miller?
00:22Twenty-five.
00:22How many children do you have?
00:24One.
00:25How old?
00:25Eleven months.
00:26Do you work?
00:27Yeah.
00:28For whom?
00:28I'm a bartender.
00:30How long have you been doing that?
00:31About eight months.
00:32And what about you, Mr. Hughes?
00:34How old are you?
00:35Twenty-two.
00:36And this is your only child?
00:38Yeah.
00:38What do you do?
00:39Right now I'm working at, it's like a tire shop and service shop, but I just do tires.
00:45How long have you been working there?
00:47Not that long, maybe a month.
00:48Would you do before that?
00:49I worked at a warehouse.
00:51For how long?
00:52Like four and a half years, I think.
00:53You wanted to buy a house.
00:55You didn't have money for the down payment.
00:58Yeah.
00:58Who went to Mr. Miller to ask him for money, you or your girlfriend?
01:03Nobody went to him.
01:04He came with us to look at a house.
01:06Well, you mean you just met in the street or someplace and said, uh, think we're going
01:10to look at a house today?
01:12No.
01:12Well, how did it come about?
01:14I mean, we just told him about it and he was like, okay, I would like to go.
01:18So, now who told him that you wanted to go and look at a house?
01:22We both brought it up to him because we were in a bad spot and we mentioned that we wanted
01:26to get a place of our own.
01:27Had you been renting or you'd been living with somebody else?
01:30We were living with my mom.
01:32And how long has it been since they've been together?
01:35My parents?
01:36Yes.
01:37Years.
01:37Okay.
01:38You both went to your father and said, we'd like to get a place of our own.
01:43And?
01:43And he offered to go with us to look at places.
01:46Judge Judy?
01:47No.
01:48Not offered.
01:49We'd like to get a place of our own.
01:51Now there's a reason that you told him and not your mother.
01:54Mm-hmm.
01:55What was that reason?
01:56Because he's got more money than my mom does and he was a contractor.
02:00Because he has more money.
02:02So, when you told him you wanted a house,
