problem why' the wedding get cancelled what went wrong here your honor so when I came back with that ring her door door was open so you know I let myself in to our house and you know I walked into the living room and I saw she was sitting on the couch with Jordan who is my Army friend that was checking up on her so okay they were sitting together but they were sitting a little too close and it was really awkward when I walked in so now Mr Teller I see you have a witness listed

here as Jordan faul is this the Jordan he's talking about that's correct your honor so while you were at home waiting for Mr Yardley Jordan was over at your house yes taking care of you in what way uh you know bringing making sure I'm eating bring me food um just kind of checking in so you say it was completely platonic for the most part that's not true girl girl I don't have time for this you done wrote this man while he's off the lyd talking about you pregnant and he comes back to surprise you and

next thing you know Jordan is in the house and you talking about for the most part what does that mean in in my defense um once I found out I was pregnant with Tanner's baby like every all the everything stopped and um everything became completely platonic there was no question is this his baby or not I believe in my heart you're admitting that you had sex with Jordan right Jordan you might as well stand up too hi your honor uh my name is Jordan Faulk we know I'm uh I'm also an active member of the

uh US military you are an you're active we think yes active so you had sex with Mr yardley's girlfriend fiance while he was away yes or no yes you're hon it thank you cuzz we don't have a lot of time to waste you're hon it so no I don't have time luckily I have done this a time or two or a thousand who is the father of your child Miss teller do you know I believe in my heart that it is his okay believe want desire bet your bottom dollar none of that matters when it

comes to DNA were you having unprotected sex with Mr faul Jordan during the window of conception as well as Mr Yardley your fiance that is correct your honor okay so you were so the truth is you standing here and you don't know who the father of your child is I believe that I know in my heart did you hear what I just said yes your honor how did you find this out Mr Yardley you walk in they sitting a little close you know something's up it doesn't doesn't look right do you confront them and they

say yes we've been sleeping together I do not confront them right away I do I so later on the day I do see a crib at her house and you know I ask Alex what this is and she says it's from Jordan for the baby okay so you know what I just brush it off but my final straw brush it off had you told Jordan to go buy a crib for the baby you thought was yours no I did not so why did you brush that off I was just collecting I wanted to collect more

evidence of like you were filing it away yeah okay so get come on now get it straight you didn't brush that off okay so you just filed that away but you were like I don't like the way they were sitting he done bought a crib now what happened so my final straw came in when she was showing me a uh a picture of the baby and she was you know there's a message a picture of the baby is this the baby it was in it like it was a an ultrasound ultrasound okay it was the

ultrasound of the baby on her phone all right and then I saw Jordan texting Alex saying hey how's my baby doing oh well that'll do it yeah honey case was closed then no need to file not another piece of information the question of paternity had reared its head so did you ask her is this my baby or not yes and then what happened so I confronted her and she did confess to saying that she did sleep with Jordan but she only did it for a one time one time thing and it was that's all it

takes it only takes once well now I believe so and your honor she said it was just a she was like it was just a one time thing and she was never going to do it again and it was just a slip up and so all this time when did you paid all this for this wedding I paid for all this wedding when I was while I was when you were away yeah you were sending her the money to pay for all of these things to get the wedding together yes only to come back and

she was potentially pregnant by somebody else H which she admitted to you and in open court yes your honor what's your defense Miss teller I mean it sounds like before people spending all this money that you should be clear who's the child's father unless you just you still wanted to marry Mr Yardley I did but she was sleeping with his friend no so once I found out I was pregnant that completely stopped and like in my defense I never asked him to marry me he was the one who um said that he wanted to marry

me and then asked me and I still do believe that this is his baby and I still want to marry him and don't think that he should do you still want to marry Miss teller I do not your honor coming up lucky for us this court had you both all of y'all submit to DNA testing cuz at the end of the day this case hinges on the results your honor it's it's not mine I know that you're watching we the people with judge Lauren Lake we're back with the case of Tanner Yardley who brought his

cheating ex fiance Alexandra teller to court over a canceled wedding you're suing here for the $639 and3 are are you saying that she negligently or purposely misrepresented to you that the baby was yours you believe she was negligent or you believe it was a purposeful thing I your honor I believe it was a purpose purposeful thing because she she knew that she couldn't get a selfless man to ever want to marry her so she made this stunt TR try to get to lie to me and try to lock the truth your owner oh you're saying

she lied to lock you down because you were a good guy yes your honor but wasn't Mr faul Jordan a good guy because you left him in charge of your girlfriend and he took charge I did in the wrong way your honor I did think he was a good guy but now he's not now I know that but okay you want your money back yes you're right you believe she purposefully deceived you about this and even if it wasn't purposeful it was negligent because the truth is should she or should she not have reason to

know who her child's father is and if that's the case did did she misrepresent it to you did she owe you a legal duty of care did she breach that yes your honor I do believe so well lucky for us this court had you both all of y'all submit to DNA testing cuz at the end of the day this case hinges on the results your honor it's it's not mine I know that I'm trying so hard with you Mr Yardley coming up in my defense I told him I would do a paternity test before he

canceled the wedding but he just went and canceled everything no before he paid for the wedding you're watching we the people with judge Lauren Lake we're back with the case of Tanner Yardley who brought his cheating ex fiance Alexandra teller to court over a canceled wedding do you want to know the results I would just like my money that I'm ow we're going to need to get the results then we'll deal with your money thank you your honor in the case of Tanner Yardley Alexander teller and the unborn child that Miss teller is carrying it

has been determined by this court Mr Yardley you are the father you are the father I want another test your honor well you going to have to pay for that on your own this court has determined you are the child's father the interesting thing is is despite the fact that you are the child's father the court has to determine whether or not this question of paternity that Miss teller was fully aware of right fully aware of did you breach a duty of care to him by allowing him to spend a significant amount of money on

the wedding knowing that he would know the full truth that there really was a question of paternity well I in my defense I told him I would do a paternity test before he canceled the wedding but he just went and canceled everything no before he paid for the wedding judge lakes's verdict When We the People returns you're watching we the people with judge Lauren Lake you had a duty of care to to make him understand you're not marrying a woman who is sure that the baby that she's carrying is yours you're marrying a woman whose

baby may be yours or your friends I believe a reasonable person under that circumstance Miss teller does owe the plaintiff a duty of care to say before you go spend all this money on a wedding there's a question of paternity and I think we need to resolve it it is this Court's opinion Miss teller you owe him that $ 6,398 and3 because you should have given him the opportunity to decide whether he wanted to marry you or not under truthful circumstances for that reason judgment for the plain for $639 A3 now before you go off

and start spending this money understand now that you know that you are this child's father you going to have to take care of this child yes your honor judgment for the planer for 6,3 $398 and3 C court is adjourn all right judge lake has ruled in favor of the plaintiff the defendant owes $639 3 sets I got Justice I'm sorry I never meant this to happen but I don't know that I want this baby to be in your life for you to be in ours I don't want to see you again and I don't want

to see you again either [Music] this has been a production of Allan Media Group hope
