Mr Avant You petitioned the court for a DNA test to determine if you are the father of your ex fiance Miss hatton's 13-month-old daughter Jia is that correct correct y you're certain Miss Hatton has been deceiving you for over two years and your biggest fear is that today you will walk out of this court without a daughter that is correct your honor Miss Hatton you are positive Mr Avant is jia's father and are hoping the DNA results will piece your family back together yes your honor so Mr Avon how have your doubts affected your family
um it has affected my family tremendously honor me and Miss Hatton was engaged to get married um we eventually called it off I'm connected to Jia like no other way I have her name tattooed on my right arm on the inside of it I've been in jia's life since she's been born when Miss Hatton told me she was pregnant I asked her then are you sure no he did not I did too he didn't she stated yes who else would it be me hadn't eventually moved in together and when we was living together um I
started hearing stuff that it may not be mine it's a possibility it could be somebody else and I've heard this personally from her family someone in her family told you that Jia may not be your child who in my family would say something like that I was told that it was a possibility that she might had sex with somebody else I also found messages on her phone showing that she was talking to her ex and telling him that they was going to be together she loved him so this is an issue for me cuz we're
constantly going back and forth where she's talking to her ex and his and he is thinking that the baby is his and at the same time you're telling me that the baby is M that is not even how we're living together as well your honor and she's telling me that why am I worried about the situation when I found the text messages and I question her about it he didn't not question me and Miss Hatton said why are you worried about the messages I lay with you every night and I said yeah this is true
that is not even but at the same time that you're Ling every night you're telling him that y'all are going to be together that you love him your honor that is not even okay let me give you a chance to respond Miss Hatton you're saying that none of what he's saying is true right and what's the truth as it when it came up to me being pregnant I lived with my aunt Jamal came over that day cuz we took multiple tests to figure out okay I am pregnant this other guy was he in the picture
no he wasn't in the picture he was around asking about the baby are you guys going to let me come and actually go to the doctor since this is a possibility that I could be the father of her and how did you respond I told him I would talk to Jamal about it whenever I talked to it he would go off about it he's like he doesn't need to be here let me understand this now you're standing in court and you're saying you are 100% sure that Mr Avant is Jus I am how are you
100% sure if you admit that there was another man involved yes the other man that was involved me and him hadn't had unprotected sex since September me and Mr Avant had the the first time we had sex was in October was the 11th of October to be exact and when we had sex on the 11th of October um at that time we had yes we did have unprotected sex yes we did a couple of weeks later Mrs Hatton is saying that she's pregnant Mr Avant was on the phone with me when I found out I
was pregnant he was the first person to know about it and so okay so Mr Avan at what point did you really begin to doubt I started to doubt in the beginning and then I started to doubt more after I started hearing stuff from her family saying that she's not trustworthy that some of the stuff she say is not true it came up a point that the doctor the first OBG y had gave us a first due date that first due date was July around the 14th she ended up switching OBG YNS and going into
a new one the new OBGYN said the date was going to be August 25th that is so not true a whole five we window not even true wow you got two different due dat that far apart but on the birth certificate my daughter was born July the 16th now my mom said give or take days evidence of that of it let me see that evidence Dome will you pass that to me please so let me understand your evidence you have presented uh a calendar to the court that shows what the first due date was supposed
to be it was supposed to be July 16th correct and then you say the due date was revised to the 25th to theth of August it was red 25th of August that is completely off the do the new OBGYN also explained that the your conception date didn't add up as well no she said my estimated the estimated date that I put as my last min period change my due date from the 14th of July to the 25th hold on let me figure this out with my conception calculator when do you believe you conceived Jia what
date in October around like the 13th it was weeks before my birthday because he said that he wanted me to spend my birthday with him and so you think you conceived on October 13th yes and she conceived on October 13th it takes seven days for the sperm to reach the ex day October 13th the exact it takes a total of seven days to concept okay it does but if okay if we on the 13th there is a Poss mron do you remember being intimate with Miss Hatton around October 13th I had sex with Miss Hatton
on the 11th of October I know for a fact on the 11th yes all right so she remembers got paid from work the exact same day what does it have to do with anything I can add my because at the same time me and her went out I ordered food for us when she came over that day she spent majority of the day with me on the 11th and went home that night and I paid for her to get on the bus that night to go back to her Auntie's house so if we hit calculate
you get the birth date should be July 16th 2014 when was Jia born July 16th 2014 I have her birth certificate would you like to see it you yes I would she was born July 16th 2014 she was also born around that time because we was trying to break Mrs hat and water to go ahead and get Jus here and and what I mean by we was trying to break her water we was having sex she tried castor oil she was eating spicy food I even scraped the cervix to try to bring the break her
water not true your honor this is true if you want more episodes of paternity court make sure to subscribe and click on the notification Bell the day that that she went into labor she woke me up at 5:00 in the morning I jumped up instantly and we went to the hospital and and and then at the hospital we was in form yes you are really in labor her doctor even came in and said well I guess your labor is going to be early I guess we won't have to wait no she did not say that
my labor was going to be early she said okay she's about to come my doctor didn't even come in to actually deliver my child until my child was almost here it was Mr Avant and another nurse that stood there the whole time coaching me until my doctor arrived in the room really it was me that was coaching your honor every time she would have a contraction I would tell Mrs Hatton to push so we can go ahead and get Jia here yes he did do that all right so first of all this evidence you presented
is the birth certificate yes it is your honor and she was born on the 16th of July yes your honor so that's your proof yes the conception date matches the due date yes your honor if we look at your calendar Mr Avant you think that her revised due date was still the 25th correct and you feel like the castor oil all of the the maneuvers you were doing to try to get the baby to come nothing was working made the baby come quicker yes so you believe she really wasn't due until August August not true
your honor my daughter got the 25th due date because she was small the time I was 6 months my daughter only weighed three PBS so they told me okay we're going to have to give you an emergency c section if your daughter doesn't gain any weight they switched my due date to the 25th cuz they said that she was too small to be the size that she needed to be during the window that was supposed to be born she gained the weight that she needed by the time that I went back to the doctor and
I was able to continue out carrying her through the full term what's interesting as well as you handed up the birth certificate and his name is on it he actually you're he filled out the birth certificate himself I didn't see the birth certificate until I purchased it um Mr signed it wrote when we was when the paperwork was presented to us for the birth certificate and also for the legitimization paperwork I asked Miss hat did you want to fill it out or do you want me to at the time I said I will let my
aunt fill it out he said no I want you can fill it out or I can let my auntie fill it out when she come back up no I did not and so I filled it out but if you had a doubt why sign exactly why signed the birth certificate why did you get her name tattooed on you why have you been here this whole time in the beginning of your honor I told him from day one if he like it wasn't he it's not about me and me and misshattan it's about Jia I've been
in jia's life before she was born and I'm still here I'm connected to Jia so it's going to be hard for me to leave leave Jia she had a friend take a picture of our daughter when she was sitting in her car seat she was smiling cheesing real hard he didn't a picture as well with him smiling and cheesing real hard and posted it what do you think about my baby no that is not it got a lot of likes no no no no that is not what he said to the point where Miss Hatton
told me when I got home and I said there in that house one a time one at a time so you see this photo on Instagram it's getting a lot of likes and it's the the baby you have signed the birth certificate is your child your legal child whether or not it's your biological child or not yes you're looking at your baby Jia yes and another man yes your honor and he's saying what do you think about my baby no that is not under the picture are saying do they look alike a lot of people
say well they look like this because they people say no they do not look alike but she looks exactly like him but why Miss haton why would you let someone post didn't let anybody post picted the picture me and Mr were sitting at home on the sofa he was like babe what you looking at I said I'm looking at that's said look at this look what he posted on Instagram he like really why are you letting him do that why are you letting them do that I told him to take it down he said is
Jamal shouldn't be so insecure when he knows it's his baby is what he's say the regardless of whether the fact my baby looks just the purp just I need talk one at a time yes Shan I do apolog your ma please show you the evidence of Mr did anybody hear me yes ma'am cuz I can't hear both of you when you're talking at one time and I'm trying to understand the evidence you want to present yes so you're saying you saw this picture yes shna and and she did ask this person to take it down
after I got upset your honor when I got upset and said something about it because why is he posting a picture of of my baby and him side by side and he's done nothing for her this is not a funny situation to me I'm already having problems where is you and your ex saying that hit might be his now it's another dude and he got a picture and they look similar I can't deny it if you look at the picture from the cheekbones to the nose even people that commented said the same thing I have
my reason for having doubts you hon when you're in a committed relationship with somebody or you're engaged to them or you are about to marry this person there's no need for you to get a DNA test every time you have a child if you feel like it's your no you're right and there's no need missen is right there's no need to have a DNA test every time you have a child but there is a need to have a DNA test when you're not sure and you're telling other people that they're possibly liable to be the
father okay I already understood that I already told him that from the beginning but I was over the road late February early March I'm a truck driver when I was over the road Mrs Hatton took her took our daughter Jia to see her ex no the other dude who's supposed to be the uh the dad how do I know this because I heard it from the cow's mouth himself he called me and said this no that is not true that is definitely not true and said take the to see no I did not take her
to see him him and his best friend came to my house cuz he said I wanted to see her say nobody test that's not true y the truth the truth of the story a friend of hers had came around and spent time with them her and the girl eventually went over to this dude's neighborhood and seen him and he said and this is what he told me he said why are you bringing her to see me now and you ain't brought her by and she done been alive this whole time so why are you first
and foremost why are you taking her over there behind my back you could have took her I took her over there when I was home you could so you believe she was sneaking around once you were on the road taking uh Jia to see another potential father correct you say that's not true you say they came over to your house to see the baby yeah they came over my house he said okay so when are we going to get this DNA test done since Mr Avant contacted him they spent hours on the phone him and
JIA look just alike I have evidence here to show that they look just alike let me see that evidence from the way that they smiled they have the same dimples everything this a picture of what please tell me Miss Hatton of Mr Avant and JIA they look exactly alike overall everything it's a picture of Mr Avant on the left and JIA on the right yes Mr Avant has dimples and so does Jia and those are a picture of their ears which I never really PID attention to to we took the picture of it and their
hairlines I have when Mr Avant let his hair grows out he does have a receiving hairline just like my daughter from the way that it curvs all the way out to the way that it goes in on both sides is exactly alike so when you look at these pictures and you look at them you have no doubt none none wants you know that's his child yes ma'am when you look at the pictures Mr Avant are you certain I'm not your honor I feel and like I told Miss Hatton from the beginning I I've said she's
mine I've never denied that she was mine but hearing seeing seeing things and hearing things it makes you question and it makes you wonder and it makes you want to really know the ANW and the truth you say your greatest fears you leave this courtroom today without a daughter because you love this little girl yes that's true so if you're not jia's biological father will you stay in the child's life or will you just move on at this time y I honestly can say I'm not sure it's going to hurt me if she not mine
but it's also a ripple effect because now I have to go back to my son and tell him you ain't got a sister you still child I now have to also sit back and you know saying my parents are not going to say nothing but they they going to be like they going to be supportive because now I know the truth I think it's time for the results these results were prepared by DNA Diagnostics and they read as follows in the case of avant versus Hatton pertaining to 13-month-old Jia Avant it has been determined by
this Court Mr Avant You are not jia's father oh my God I'm very sorry Mr Avant it's all right it's not man it's not all right I've been there it's all right it's all right I'm sorry I don't want to see you cry I don't want to see you hurt nothing like that we both knew that this about this but the truth is though at the same time you kept saying yes this is your baby in my mind it was no doubt about it but at the same time you knew how everything started and where
it ended at but miss haton you did stand in court today and say you are 100% sure yes ma'am I did I think that gave him a false sense of security Miss Hatton jia's biological father do you know who it is M the only other person that we were talking about in this situation do they want to be a part of her life I'm not sure okay and that's what's unfortunate because you have a man here that came into court hoping that he was this child's father signed the birth certificate has been there for her
loves her Mr Avon is it your intention to still be a part of her life just I don't know y Mr Reynolds you claim a lifelong medical condition LED you to believe you would never be a father that was until the birth of your daughter Ireland who you claim is your miracle baby but now the defendant says you are not the father you are here to prove that Miracles really do happen is that correct yes your honor Miss Taylor you say it breaks your heart to stand in court to prove that Mr rynolds is not
Ireland's daddy As You Wish in your heart he were but you say the truth is enough man is her biological father Mr rynolds why is this test so important to you this test is so important to me for me to be able to have a daughter it's a miracle having Ireland yes your honor and Miss Taylor yes your honor you say you want that Miracle too but you just don't believe no I don't this is the case not in my heart tell the court well he has uh like I don't know what it's called called
the hypospadius okay can you describe that for the court all it is is it's where the hole in the penis is in the wrong spot instead of being up top it's more towards the bottom of the head the the actor just said that it's a big possibility that I may never be able to have kids if the surgeries don't take oh and so you actually had surgeries this yes I've had like four you have yeah to try to correct this particular condition and none of them's worked it's all closed back up and the original ho
opened back up but he was never physically told by the hospital or a doctor that he wasn't able to have kids yeah it was but you believe for sure thing right but you you were told that it was it could potentially be a complication oh yes all right and so Miss Taylor you were well aware of this yes how long have you all been together we've been together almost four years all right so you were in a longstanding relationship we tried for a good two years and nothing was happening we were talking about you know
going into adoption if it didn't happen to try to you know get a kid cuz we really do want to start a life together we want to have our own little family and you know get out in the world we had unprotected sex and we tried for so many times to have it nothing was working so then I decided to go and do something different and wait what did you do you have to be specific in court I had went and cheated on him with a guy I had actually known for a little while that's
funny cuz that ain't what you told me oh it is not no what did she tell you Mr Ronald her her original story when I found out cuz like I said like this is a miracle baby to me you know this is um bottom line is this don't work if if this is not my kid I got to go there's there's not no more to it when you found out you were pregnant who did you tell the other guy you were pregnant or did you tell Mr ronals I told them both actually I told the
other guy on Facebook that I might be pregnant it could be his baby just and I told him to but did you tell Mr ronals you cheated no man no I did not he found out physically on my I had hack her Facebook and find out by myself and and so what did you see uh the the very first message that popped up was her telling the other dude that it might be his it's more than positive of his kid oh my goodness and like it hurt it like it was it was so bad like
I felt like I had a heart attack I was shaking so bad and I mean every time I get to still thinking about it like right now my knees are just shaking cuz it just hurts so bad to know that because up until that point you believed you were the father and this was your Mir child legally I am the father legally right now I am the father how far along was she when you found out or was baby Ireland already here when you broke into we um I was about 22 weeks when he found
out I was through the hospital appointments all the pregnant see ran her bath when she needed it I went to the store when she wanted something you know I was there and so at 22 weeks you find this out and yet you still stick by her and you stick by the baby yes you're honor and you are there yes you're honor and are you there when baby Ireland is born yes your honor I was at the hospital the other guy was not by our choice but um I requested to have and I requested to have
a DNA test done at the hospital but I left for 10 minutes to go outside get some fresh air or whatever and I came back up and you know talked to Miss Taylor to see if she had talked to the doctors about getting one done and she said no that she wasn't going to do it when we got home I you know I was like why and she was like cuz I don't want you to leave me okay he's telling the truth yes he is I want to have the best for that I can provide
for if I can't do it then I want the father to do it that's why I hyphenated the last name too just in case you know she's not my kid and you know she legally I'm still on the birth certificate and I'm not going to be taking off of it unless she decides to take me off of it though I knew that you know there was a possibility still in my heart that I knew there was a possibility that she wasn't mine you are her legal father yes you are here today to determine if you
are her biological father yes your honor why is it is so important to you to establish that you were also the biological father I've never fully gotten into my medical disorder you know I've never fully looked into it I've never made myself 100 % of aware of exactly what was going on you know in my heart knowing for so long that I've never had a kid I've been trying to have a kid since I've been 18 years old and you know it's just something I need to know and so uh Ireland is 8 months old
yes ma'am has it affected your ability to bond with her sometimes it does feel a little wrong to be trying to bond with a kid that may not be mine but like I said I've been there you know her whole life I always get worried that he's going to leave me cuz you never know know he's been there this whole time but you now fear that Mr rynolds will leave yeah cuz when uh oh no it's going to happen I mean if if she's not mine I got to go you know it's just bottom line
you positive you you're you're done if this is not yes you cannot stay in this relationship if Ireland is not your biological dog it just it'll caused too many problems and so a lot is on the line oh yes definitely I have evidence here I don't know I'd like to see that what is the evidence say um there's an ultrasound in there and it was two weeks it shows the baby's features about how look how she looks and the thing that gets me is I don't really see him so much in Ireland as I do
like I see the other guy's like forehead the ears the chin stuff I'm sorry she so these are pictures of these are pictures of Ireland yeah that was at 22 weeks you could see the features they that was a 3D ultrasound and a 4D one combined uh that's when I started to think that he wasn't the father so I left it as that and I didn't want to tell him because I like the way it was I was happy with the way we living life and so the other guy does not believe he can be
the father either he doesn't he don't want nothing he don't even want nothing to do with there he goes back and forth your honor I'm not even going to lie I've I've heard over the last couple of months different things you know he was wanting to and then he didn't want to and then other people tell him that it that it you know he needs what was your relationship like with this other guy was we only known each other for like almost a year and then he came over one night and when to hang out
we hung out and it leted into more than that a week later I took a pregnancy test they both came up positive and I told him not to get his hopes up on the first one because I didn't want to have him go thinking oh yeah I'm having a baby you know and then I go to the hospital I find out get into that that's kind of funny how Miss Taylor says that he came over because her whole story to me was she met him out at the park and they went out to the woods
to we met at no we met at the park and we had went back to my house but yeah you just said she came he came over to the house so you're getting new information today yes ma'am yes so you were told I was told that it happened outside of my house in a park somewhere outside that's I did I told him that you did but in actuality this man in in my bed since we're telling the truth now the truth right was this really a one night stand or it really was did it happen
more than once it was honestly my right hand of God it was only one time we ever one time only and that's the only time we ever had it and then my she happened I just don't understand like I don't I'm confused about her a little bit because I don't know her eyes match his but me and had brown eyes just like me look at her but my big old elephant ears you believe she looks like you 100% so Miss Taylor does she also look like the other guy to you she yes you're honest she
does does have some of his features I want to dig into this medical condition because I want to learn more about it before I do miss Taylor can you please explain to the court your issue with the timeline you say this is also a point of confusion the timeline me and the other guy had an intercourse on the 26th of December of 2015 and when we had when we did that a week later like January 1st on my mom's birthday as a matter of fact I found out that I was pregnant and it wasn't I
don't I it doesn't add up to me because I thought it took a month you had to be pregnant a month before your Miss period in order to for you to be pregnant so you're saying you you had just had sex with the other guy four five days before you found out you were pregnant yes sh so you thought maybe I was already pregnant yes and that would have been by Mr rynolds Right but because of the medical condition you thought you don't you that's why you don't know yeah cuz I don't want to say
that it is his kid and then I don't want her growing up like I did I grew up with no father so I want her to have the best future she can have I don't want my daughter to have no father and I want the best for her I want her to have an outstanding childhood I want her to go to college graduate you know everything but she can't do that without having her father she needs a father to be able to have a shoulder to cry on when mommy's not around I just feel like
if she had if she actually know who know who her real dad is when she gets 18 she won't hate me as much either cuz she'll be like well you at least you you know you went up to court you did all this for me you went and did a DNA to prove to me that you know to show me who the real father was and that's what I want I just want to make sure that she can have the best childhood she can ever possibly have you know I I miss Taylor I must say
to you what I just heard was not a woman trying to save her relationship but I just heard a mother trying to save her daughter The Bravery you're showing right now is even beyond your mistakes you want your child to have the best and you're willing to put yourself on the line your comfort yes your life with this man yes to get her the answer she needs and that's what being a mother is I'll drop everything for her I love her that's what being a mother is you put your child before yourself so we have
a timeline issue and a medical issue we Now understand the timeline issue I want to further understand the medical issue so I've asked uh Dr Brown parks to join us today Jerome will you please escort the doctor into the courtroom I'd like to ask her some questions about your medical condition fine so that we can further understand the judge hello doctor good morning judge thank you so much for joining us today Mr rynolds says he has a condition called hypospadius he was told by medical professionals that it may affect his ability to have children can
you further explain this condition definitely so hypospadius and I brought a visual for you um is an opening of the urethra in the incorrect position so on a normal penis the tip of the penis is where the urethra comes out in our patient case his is a little bit lower so hypospadius can come in all sorts of varieties and usually with surgery it's completely corrected after I was like 15 I think and the doctors was like you know what you're old enough you can decide whether you want to have another one later in life or
not and you know what I at that point after I've had four or five surgeries I was just like I'll let God take care of it so he's saying that his surgeries were not successful correct and so not being successful doesn't necessarily affect his fertility he still can have a good urine stream um and that's really a good test of the track of the semen so given the fact that he has normal testicles from reviewing his case um that's where the sperm are produced and the outflow track takes the same outflow track as urine so
this does not necessarily preclude him from being able to father a child not at all which is pretty much what you were told yes ma'am yes your honor I mean you know it's like a said it's they never gave me a 50/50 or a 6040 or a 7030 it was just a chance that it may not or may happen very interesting testimony thank you doctor so Miss Taylor after hearing the doctor's testimony does this give you any further hope that maybe maybe Ireland is Mr rynolds biological mean there's always a chance for everything in life
so it'd be a miracle for him it make his life so much better it compete him well I have to say despite everything that has transpired you all have truly done the very best you can yes to try to make sure this beautiful innocent young girl has a good start to her life amen so let's let's get the answers we came here for yes your honor and let's hope that we can continue to do that with the truth as a foundation Jerome I'm ready for the results thank you you're welcome these results were prepared by
DNA Diagnostics and they read as follows in the case of rynolds versus Taylor when it comes to 8mon Old Ireland Taylor rynolds it has been determined by this court Mr rynolds you are her father oh my [Music] God oh my God that's awesome it is oh it is a made me nervous for a minute that's it really is his baby it's great it's a miracle baby yes she is it's going to help our relationship out going to help our own going help my relationship with Ireland a lot more than it already is well you've been
there for her from the beginning yes I have and you've given her your name yes you are her legal father and you are her biological father thank you and so I'm so very happy for you both I hope this is now that last piece of Truth you needed to have a family a family the foundation of your family and I wish you all the very very best of luck taking care of that beautiful little girl thank you so much thank you you've warmed my heart today court is a journ thank you
