Afghanistan Veteran Learns His Wife Cheated During His Tour Of Duty (Full Episode) | Paternity Court

Did you sleep with a photographer? Yes, your honor, I did. LAKE: What else did you discover? MATTHEW: There was a friend of mine that we've been friends with for a couple of years and when I went to AT, I think it was annual training or a drill, she was watching TV next to this guy and she started falling. Asleep and the next thing you know he rolled over on her and she thought it was me. Your Honor, when he... (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) No. And she had sexual relations with him. Mistaken identity. MATTHEW: I guess. He's that tall and ugly.

BRITTANY: It comes down to the point where I made a mistake, yeah. If I could take it back, I would, but I can't. But you said some indiscretions, that's not a mistake. He's controlling, verbally abusive...He treats my daughter differently than the other two. MATTHEW: Yeah, she's daddy's daughter. LAKE: Well, that's because she has explicitly said that she doubts whether or not she could be her father. Do you honestly believe that he is Liliana's father? Honestly, it could be a 50-50 chance, your honor. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) Does anyone have a quarter? Do you understand that for a man, for any person, that would be really difficult to accept?

There's a part of me that listens to them both talk and sees that one, if not both, might still want this to work. Are you two interested and trying to see if you can save this marriage? Yes, your honor. (AUDIENCE MURMURING) She responded very affirmatively, quickly. What about you, Mr. Threlkeld? Are you interested? I would say yes, but as a man, I have never been put in the position of having to choose my son or not. It's yes or no. You do it or you don't. There's still a baby involved. I mean, you can't just... I'm not going to take it out on her even if she's not mine.

Even if she's not mine. No, the person I'm going to take it out on isn't her, it's the girl in her pink shirt. So congratulations. (AUDIENCE APPLAUSES) You take it out on me every day. But let's be clear here. BRITTANY: You just have to get over it. There is a baby in doubt when it comes to

paternity

. But you all still have two more children together. MATEO: Yes, ma'am. (AUDIENCE MURMURING) BRITTANY: Yes, your honor. You are a family. BOTH: Yes. So these results are going to affect this family in some way, positively or negatively. Yes ma'am.

Yes, your honor. LAKE: Okay. It's time for results. Here, your honor. Thank you. You are welcome. (EXHALES) (CRUNKLE PAPER) Our results today were prepared by DNA Diagnostics. In the case of Threlkeld v. Threlkeld... In the case of Threlkeld v. Threlkeld, belonging to one-year-old Liliana... (EXHALES) Mr. Threlkeld, you are Liliana's father. (AUDIENCE APPLAUSE) Ms. Threlkeld, it seems like she was instantly moved. Is that a relief or is that... (BRITTANY ROLLO) (BREAKING VOICE) Yes, Your Honor, it is a relief. LAKE: ...joy or both? I mean, it's... All together I'm happy because I know she's his, so I would like to work on everything.

MATTHEW: Well ma'am, there's a reason because since the day it happened... Since February 2011, to be exact when I found out, there hasn't been a day that hasn't gone by that hasn't left her not reliving. the mistakes she made. Period. LAKE: I appreciate your honesty. She is acknowledging the fact that she would not let the mistake go. You threw it up in his face over and over and over again. For two years. Two years. And still I stayed. No other person would have stayed. In addition. What does that say to both of you? It seems like we're stuck with each other. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) (LAUGHTER) LAKE: I think the important thing today about this news is that the doubt, the fear associated with it, no longer exists.

Know. I see your excitement. What do you feel? BRITTANY: You still don't think she looks like you, do you? Well, there were times when I actually disowned her and every time she came to me, she called her JB... BRITTANY: So now she comes out. MATTHEW: ...or someone else's baby. Um, now that I know it's not, you know, it's good to know. LAKE: Now you know that you are her father and that you have a lot to do. (AUDIENCE APPLAUSES) Is that okay? This marriage belongs to both of us. Together, you both must honor him. You both have to respect it.

And you both have to be willing to work on it. (PUBLIC APPLAUSE) The session is adjourned. (AUDIENCE CHEERING) I feel like I'm actually holding her as my daughter now and there's no wall dividing, you know, the amount of love that I give her. So she is no different from other children. She's like, you know, the other two. So there's definitely a lot to do, huh, monster?
