Father vs. Son

[@relaxwithme3398]

Not one tear fell from his eyes!! He knows Judge Mathis has a soft spot for men with bad fathers! 🙄 I’m glad he lost!

[@leir2005]

Your honor often loses his ability to remain impartial when it comes to these parent versus child cases. If it’s a daughter suing the mother he’ll automatically go after the daughter and try and tear her down and find some reason to dismiss her case. When it’s the son he’ll try and tear into the father looking for a reason to rule against him

[@bentleyshrader594]

That's what I'm saying so fake

[@PaulPaid]

Given the the history of absence and abuse here including trying to kill his son,, You sound like a moron. "Legally" the circumstances were not in the son's favor but that's not something you should be "glad" about.
