Married Man Has Side Chick's Name Tattoo (Full Episode) | Paternity Court

Please be seated. Hello, Your Honor. Hello.

This is the case of Dallas v. Stewart. Thank you, Jerome.

Good day, everyone. AUDIENCE: Good day! Ms.

Dallas, you have dragged the defendant, Mr Stewart, into Court today to prove that he is the father of your newborn son, one-month-old Lamar. You say you are shocked that he's denying that he's baby Lamar's biological dad, especially since you discovered he's the one leading a double life. Is that correct?

Yes, Your Honor. JUDGE LAKE: Mr Stewart, you claim that it's Ms. Dallas who's been far from faithful, and you believe that baby Lamar's dad could be any one of multiple men.

So, Ms. Dallas, take us to your relationship before you found out about Mr Stewart's alleged double life. Um, I met Cedric, well, Mr Stewart in June of 2016.

JUDGE LAKE: Mm-hmm. I was out having breakfast with my friend, probably around six o'clock in the morning. And.

. . He walked up to me, or whatever, offered to pay for, uh, my breakfast or whatever.

After that, we exchanged numbers, and from there we hooked up a couple of times, or whatever. So, first, you're just dating casually DALLAS: Yeah. Okay.

DALLAS: And, um. . .

We always had to get a room you know, and I used to ask him, like, you know, "I'm tired of renting a room, you know. "You know, could we go to your house? You said you have a house.

"You own it. " And he was like, "You know, I have unwanted company there. " So I'm like, "Unwanted company?

" I'm like, uh, "You got a girlfriend? " He like, "No. " I'm like, "You have a baby mom there?

" He like, "No. " I'm like, um. .

. "You got a wife? " And he was like, "Yeah.

" (AUDIENCE GASPS) Like, you know what I'm saying? So. .

. And that's when he proceeded to tell me, like, oh, they are separated, they are going through a divorce. JUDGE LAKE: So, Mr Stewart.

. . CEDRIC: Yes, Your Honor.

JUDGE LAKE: Did you meet Ms. Dallas, date her casually, have sex with her, and finally only later tell her that you were married? It didn't quite go like that.

JUDGE LAKE: How did it go? You know, it didn't come up. You know, I felt like it didn't come up, like, you know.

How did it not come up? CEDRIC: It didn't. That's relevant information.

Is it not? Yeah, true that. Yes.

Yes, Your Honor. JUDGE LAKE: So you were basically out acting like a single man. No.

I wasn't acting. . .

Yes. Yes. Yes, Your Honor.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHS) I'm just glad you just went on ahead and told the truth. CEDRIC: I had to think about it. JUDGE LAKE: Okay.

So were out there acting like a single man, but you were married. Yes, Your Honor. Were you getting a divorce then?

I wasn't in. . .

No, I didn't have it filed, but in my head, yeah, I was getting a divorce. (AUDIENCE LAUGHS) In your head. JUDGE LAKE: That means you were still married.

CEDRIC: Yes. JUDGE LAKE: Moving on. (WOMAN LAUGHS) So.

. . How often did you see one another if you're married with your wife living in your home?

CEDRIC: Oh, that's it. Every day. Every day.

Every day. DALLAS: Every day. Every day?

DALLAS: Yeah. Every day he will come over there when he get off work. Only time he probably went to his house when he wanted to go change his clothes or put on his work clothes JUDGE LAKE: Mr Stewart, during this time, were you still intimate with your wife?

No. Not at the time, like. .

. He lying. We were.

. . You know, like.

I don't know how to put it, but it's like. . .

We were living together, but we were having problems of our own, you know. JUDGE LAKE:So, Ms. Dallas, once you found out he was married, did you have second thoughts about dating a married man?

Yes, I did have second thoughts, but once everything started hitting the floor, like, I. . .

I was already pregnant. You know what I'm saying? I loved Cedric.

You know, and. . .

He was telling me, like, "I'm going to divorce, we're gonna have a house. " You know, "Oh, this, we're gonna raise our son together. " You know.

I was believing him because that's all I had to do, was believe him. You know. So he had you high of the promises and drunk of the dreams.

DALLAS: Yeah. It was all. .

. DALLAS: Right. It was flowing.

DALLAS: Right. JUDGE LAKE: All right, now, listen, this is. .

. This is what happens. (CHUCKLES) Okay.

JUDGE LAKE: When you're a married man out there trying to probably keep this young girl. . .

And. . .

DALLAS: And get his wife too. And have your wife too. CEDRIC: Yeah.

But. . .

but at some point you found out you were pregnant and that will sober you up. Yeah, I thought, I thought everything was gonna be okay. And I when I found out I was pregnant, Cedric was happy or whatever.

JUDGE LAKE: Oh, you were? DALLAS: Yeah. So you were genuine.

. . Even though you were still married to your wife, you were happy your mistress was pregnant.

Yes. JUDGE LAKE: Do you have any other children? Yes.

JUDGE LAKE: You do. How many? Three.

JUDGE LAKE: With your wife? No. (AUDIENCE GASPS) We have no kids in common.

But you have three children from previous relationships. CEDRIC: Yes. JUDGE LAKE: How long have you been married?

Ten years. (AUDIENCE MURMUR) JUDGE LAKE:So you found out about this baby and you were happy. CEDRIC:Yes.

But you didn't have doubt at that time if you were happy. CEDRIC: No. No.

He started beginning to doubt so-called my associate was telling him and his wife that I was sleeping around with multiple men when I conceived Lamar. Someone that knew you. DALLAS: Yeah.

They started giving you information. Yeah. DALLAS: Yeah.

But it was the same friend that sent him naked pictures of herself to. . .

to him. . .

(AUDIENCE GASPS) Telling him that that I was, you know, sleeping around with somebody else, so why will she say that she want to sleep with you? Did the friend send you naked pictures, Mr Stewart? Yes, Your Honor.

(AUDIENCE MURMURS) But. . .

JUDGE LAKE: So don't you believe that would discredit? Yeah. I just.

. . JUDGE LAKE: What she.

. . Yeah.

That was. . .

But that was, like. . .

That's one of my doubts, you know what I mean? JUDGE LAKE: That's just one? Yes.

JUDGE LAKE: What's your other doubt? Well, the other doubt was, like, when he got here, he don't look like me. He got.

. . Look at his hair, he look mixed.

DALLAS:He don't look mixed. CEDRIC:He look mixed. DALLAS:All babies come out with fine hair, and I'm pretty sure.

. . JUDGE LAKE: So at what point did you have to come clean with your wife about this baby?

DALLAS:I told her. CEDRIC:I sent her a picture of the script. DALLAS:Because when me and Cedric was supposed to be together, Roberta sent me a picture of her, him and Cedric in the bed.

Cedric has my name tattooed on him. JUDGE LAKE: What? She sent me a picture.

. . She sent me a picture of him and her in the bed, naked together.

His wife sends a picture to you of them in the bed. Yes. And he was sleep.

. . And she was taking the picture.

She sent it to me, and the time. . .

JUDGE LAKE: After you're pregnant. No, she didn't know I was pregnant. We was in the hospital at the time all this was going on.

And I found out I was pregnant. And I sent her a picture of the pregnancy test, right. JUDGE LAKE:Oh, you sent his a wife a picture of the pregnancy test.

CEDRIC: Yeah. Yeah. Yes.

CEDRIC: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. JUDGE LAKE: Jerome, I want to hear from his wife. JEROME: Okay.

Please escort Ms. Stewart into the court room. Got it.

Good morning, Ms. Stewart, thank you for joining us today. This testimony is troubling.

Yes. Very troubling. And it was not true.

What part of the testimony do you disagree with? ROBERTA: How they met. Cedric met her online.

Okay, and so you believe he was actually looking for. . .

ROBERTA: Exactly. JUDGE LAKE: . .

. a relationship outside the marriage. ROBERTA: I don't say.

. . I wouldn't say a relationship, but.

. . relations.

JUDGE LAKE: Relations? Exactly. Do you believe Ms.

Dallas knew he was married from the beginning? I wouldn't say she knew from the beginning, but she knew very, very early. JUDGE LAKE: And you do know that is for certain?

She called me. JUDGE LAKE: And said? She was.

. . She was just saying, like, "Are you and Cedric still together?

" And. . .

Oh, I never called you and said that, Roberta. She say, "Are you and Cedric still together? " It's not needed to even lie.

I have receipts that I brought to prove. . .

JUDGE LAKE: Okay, let's see. Let me see. .

. . .

. that she was met online, and not just by Cedric. So, Ms.

Stewart, you're claiming that what you've present to the Court are messages which indicate she was not just entertaining you husband. But multiple men. JUDGE LAKE: But multiple men.

Yes. CEDRIC: That is not true. Well, I definitely see plenty of interaction between Ms.

Dallas and. . .

. . .

various men. Those inboxes are what they send me. You don't see nothing that's me sending nothing back to them.

I can't help when nobody send me on Facebook or whatever they asking me. JUDGE LAKE: So, Ms. Stewart, you believe that Ms.

Dallas was having sex with multiple men. . .

ROBERTA: Exactly. . .

. in addition to your husband. Exactly.

JUDGE LAKE: And that's why you doubt that this child is your husband's biological child. ROBERTA: Exactly, JUDGE LAKE: Ms. Dallas, were you intimate with anyone else around the time baby Lamar was conceived?

No. Anybody else? No, not at all.

JUDGE LAKE: Does Mr Stewart have a relationship with baby Lamar? Yes. Did.

. . He participated in doctor's appointments?

He. . .

he was there? DALLAS: Yes. JUDGE LAKE: And at the birth, he was there?

Yes. JUDGE LAKE: Did he sign the birth certificate? DALLAS: Yes.

(AUDIENCE GASPS) So, Mr Stewart, why would you sign the birth certificate if people have been telling you that she was also sleeping with other people, and you had doubt? CEDRIC: Guess I had been there so long. You know what I mean?

She got other kids. You know what I mean? I got a relationship with them.

You know, so I wouldn't just be gone. JUDGE LAKE: Wait a minute, now you're standing next to your wife and you're telling me how you're gonna be there for your mistress. I'm getting confused.

Who are you actually with right now? Who are you with? Yes.

Who are you actually with right now? Who are you with? Cedric?

Lakeitha. JUDGE LAKE: So, you and Ms. Dallas are together?

Yeah, we live together. JUDGE LAKE: You live together? CEDRIC: We don't live together, we.

. . We kinda, you know.

JUDGE LAKE: Well, what's that? (AUDIENCE LAUGHS) You know what I mean. We don't live together, but.

. . We lived together, but we go back and forth.

Like she moved out. And. .

. You know what I mean? Today.

Are you all divorced or still together? ROBERTA: No. Legally we're still married.

We're still married. Ms. Stewart, what do you want?

Do you want this marriage to work? Are you. .

. I. .

. Roberta knows Roberta has to do for herself at this point. Cedric has three children of his own that he has neglected to take care of her children.

DALLAS: No. That's not true 'cause me and him take the baby over to. .

. And my other kids. .

. Daughter and son. .

. Lakeitha. .

. Lakeitha has four children. .

. No, Roberta, you not going to do him like that to try to say he don't do for his kids. Lakeitha has four.

. . No!

I've been with this man for 14 years. I know. DALLAS: Okay, and I've been with him the last past year.

ROBERTA: You haven't been with. . .

And. . .

It doesn't matter. (INDISTINCTLY YELLING OVER EACH OTHER) (INDISTINCTLY YELLING OVER EACH OTHER) JUDGE LAKE: Ladies, ladies, ladies. Ladies, ladies, ladies.

And then Lakeitha also told him that she has all her children two months early. DALLAS: No, I did not. That's why the timing did not add up.

No. ROBERTA: Did Lakeitha not tell you that? (CEDRIC SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) Did Lakeitha not tell you that?

Did Lakeitha not tell you she have her kids two months early? No, you told me. DALLAS: No, I did not, right.

You told me she said that. So what's this issue about the timeline, though? DALLAS: Because I'm.

. . I'm big.

You know, they was going off the measurement of my belly. I just started to show when I was, like, eight months, really getting a round belly and stuff, or whatever. But the measurements was still off.

But the ultrasound was right on point. So, wait a minute. You all have so much information, you all have had so much conversation.

I only. . .

JUDGE LAKE: The women have all the facts, and I can't get a straight answer out of Mr Stewart. For real, I figured I'm being straight here. JUDGE LAKE: No, you're not.

You really aren't. You said you gonna get on here and make me look like a fool because you didn't wanna be with Lakeitha. You're making yourself look like a fool.

I'm not. . .

We're going here about paternity. You're trying to tell her life story. ROBERTA: We're telling the truth.

We're here to tell the truth. That's what we're here for. We're here to see why would you question a paternity if you had no doubts?

You question a paternity on the reason you met her. You had questioned the paternity when she first. .

. When she first told you she was pregnant, you asked for a DNA test. And Lakeitha also told me, "I'm gonna give him a paternity test.

" Right, we agreed on that before even got. . .

When we thought I was pregnant. Made him agree to do a paternity test. CEDRIC: Yeah, we sure did.

Both of the women, you all have been in touch, you all have had conversations, you all basically know exactly what's happening here. And you know he's playing you all. Yeah.

But you still standing here getting played. That's what I'm trying to understand. Why?

(APPLAUSE) And you're arguing with one another, but nobody's holding him accountable. ROBERTA: Oh, I hold him accountable for everything. .

. DALLAS: No, she don't. ROBERTA: Let me tell you this, Your Honor.

DALLAS: No, she don't. ROBERTA: I did not marry Lakeitha, I married this person. DALLAS: Right, so why try to harass me?

My issue. . .

My issue is with Cedric, not Lakeitha. The only issue I have with Lakeitha is, okay, if we have women out her like you, what marriage is gonna last? If you know you're sleeping with a married man, no marriage is gonna last because they know they can go to her, her, or her.

Hold on now, Ms. Stewart, it's just your husband's doing. He's just.

. . He told me before you came in the court room.

I said, "Were you out acting like a single man? " He said, "Yes. " That's it.

Because when a married man acts like a married man, it ain't nothing Ms. Dallas can do. She didn't know how.

ROBERTA I don't think he knows what a married man should act like. JUDGE LAKE: And that is the point. Because you're saying he doesn't.

. . You don't even think he knows what he's supposed to be doing.

He's made his own lane, and he's right smack dab in the middle of both of you all's neighborhoods. And he's just going back and forth. So, Mr Stewart, if baby Lamar is your biological child, are you planning to have a life and a relationship with Ms.

Dallas? Yes. And if he is not your biological child, what then?

I probably go on my own. Don't need nobody. JUDGE LAKE: Ms.

Stewart, what is Mr Stewart, your husband, what is he saying to you right now? Ms. Dallas is saying, he's saying to her, "We're going to have a house, we're going to do this.

. . " Cedric is telling me he's just trying to see if this is his son because if this is his son, he's going to court to ask for full custody of his son.

Right. JUDGE LAKE: Is he saying that he wants to be with you? Yeah, he.

. . He.

. . He even said that.

He was like, "This could make us better as a whole. " I'm like. .

. I said, "I don't wanna raise nobody else's child. ' I have text.

. . I have receipts.

. . .

. . where he says that "I thought you was gonna help me raise him.

" I said, "Cedric, I don't have a problem with helping you raise your son. "But I'm not going to be in the middle of. .

. "You wanna be with her today, her tomorrow and me the next day. " Right.

I'm not gonna be in the middle of that. JUDGE LAKE: All right, well. .

. The only way we're gonna move forward in this situation is to get the results. Jerome.

CEDRIC: Yeah. Well, that's new. These results were prepared by DNA Diagnostics, and they read as follows.

JUDGE LAKE: In the case of Dallas v. Stewart, when it comes to one-month-old Lamar Stewart, it has been determined by this Court. .

. Mr Stewart, you. .

. . .

. are the father. Yay, I told you, baby.

I told you. (APPLAUSE) And I got no reason to lie. So, listen, Ms.

Dallas, I see you are in tears because. . .

I go through so much with him and his wife. You don't understand. (SNIFFLES) Yes.

I go through so much. And you will continue to go through. .

. DALLAS: But I'm not trying to go through that. I'm not trying to go through that no more.

JUDGE LAKE: Listen. This is what happens. And I'm not saying.

. . DALLAS: I had to prove.

. . Listen, Ms.

Dallas. What I'm here to ask you all, as we look at this beautiful baby, he's here now, he's your son. .

. DALLAS: And he look like him. (CHUCKLES) JUDGE LAKE: And.

. . and look.

. . It is not my place to tell you what to do with your life, but what I am saying, Mr Stewart, if you don't make a call, your son is gonna grow up amidst this level of toxic behavior.

And I'm talking to you because I can see that these two women will go on until Kingdom come, arguing back and forth about, "What Cedric gonna do? What Cedric gonna do? " I'm so sick of hearing your name.

(ALL LAUGH) I really I am. All right. JUDGE LAKE: Because the thing is, they argue about you but you aren't doing anything.

Ms. Dallas still loves you, and you can go run up over there and have more and more babies. But if you still gonna be married to your wife, why would you put children though that?

So you gotta get yourself together. All right? CEDRIC: Yes.

This isn't healthy. Let's get some help now, let's figure this out. For you all, and most importantly, for the children.

I wish you all the very best of luck. CEDRIC: Thank you, Your Honor. The court is adjourned.
