Capítulo: Rento a mi hija por horas

We are back and ready for our next case. Let's welcome him with this quote from African American novelist Gloa a ylylor.hMhMM "What's the point of being a father in the present when we leave the past orphaned?" Get out the litigants. For me this is a business. They are making money illegally from my daughter. Sometimes life deals you a bad hand, but you still have to play it. Good afternoon and welcome. Eduard, you are the plaintiff. Who is Diandra, why is she suing her and what does she want to resolve in this case? Diandra is my late brother's wife.

I am here for you to declare me Valeria's "legitimate" father. His what about her? I'm sorry, my... the child's biological father. What a child? Valeria. -My daughter. -His daughter. You want me to declare you her legal father. And for custody of her so I can take her to Dubai where I am currently working on a construction project. Now explain the facts to me. Diandra and I dated seven years ago. I was doing a lot of bad things back then. She went to jail. I was caught trafficking marijuana from Mexico to California. They arrested me with 30 pounds of marijuana.

Oh boy! I was sentenced to five years in prison and during that time I found God. I became friends with the prison priest. When you came out... We gave him a hand. While she was in jail... She fell in love with your brother. Yes, and they got married. But I was also a little crazy during that time. Don't play the victim. Wait. Please calm her down. I already asked him. With all that going on... I had problems with her and my brother, but I didn't do anything about it. When I came out, I had nowhere to go.

Then I went to my brother's house. He had a gig back and I moved there. He was behind his house. My brother is a truck driver and a month later he was transporting gasoline from New York to Florida. It was very foggy, he had an accident...and he died. And my brother died. She became very depressed, as did I. Clear. We both felt that way and after a few drinks we got together and started having sex again. Oh boy. I knew what I was doing was wrong because she was my brother's wife. So I packed my bags and left.

You disappeared. I packed my bags and left. Leaving me alone to fend for myself. Well. You didn't realize! You found out! I never told you because you left. That's how I found out. Some character that has nothing to do with this. Sorry Mrs. Now you understand why I left. Good. How long were you gone? A year and a half. The baby is two years old. Well. And? She told me to come back because she had had a baby. My niece, she told me she. I did so and told her that she had a good job in Dubai and that I had to be away for three months.

That's when she said she couldn't because my niece was actually my daughter! Incredible. That's what I'm saying. And that's the child you want custody of. Yes. Why do you want custody? I thought a little after she said that. She looked like me, so behind her back I took the baby to the hospital for a DNA test. I have the evidence right here. Bring it to me. This is what I need to know and do it quickly. Stay here. Why do you want custody of her? What is the problem? You do not know her. She's renting it!

That? She is making money from my daughter. How could she rent it? I have checks for $600 to $800. She brought them as proof. For the love of God, let me see them. She rents her daughter. No! So you want to take her to Dubai. To give you a better future. Do you know why I haven't called the police? I don't want... You don't want her to be psychologically traumatized. Well. Excellent. She returns to your podium. Thank you so much. Let's take a short break. When we return, you will respond. Are there witnesses? I brought one. Excellent. We'll talk to them after she answers.

We will return after this short break. Stay tuned. Does he abuse the baby? She asks him to call her mom. Liar. Who is your mommy? See? What is my name? Check it out! That is a danger for the child. He could be considered child abuse. CASE CLOSED Eduard sues his sister-in-law Diandra. He wants to be declared the legal father of her daughter Valeria and he also wants custody of her. He wants custody because he claims she rents her daughter. I don't know how, but he has given me checks that she receives for amounts between $500 and $600. The checks say "baby rent." I don't know who would write that on a check, but anyway.

That's why he wants custody of the baby and take her to Dubai, where she currently works with a three-year contract. How do you respond, Diandra? I admit that he is my daughter's biological father. But he won't take my daughter. If he wants to be a father, he better step up and pay. I felt very sad when my husband died. My late husband helped me when he went to jail. He didn't plan to make me fall in love with his brother. I was sad. The love of my life was locked up. So you're with my brother? You were a criminal behind bars.

You said you found God, but you found nothing! Actually? I have a better job than you. Hey, what you need to explain is this whole baby rental thing. Let me tell you something. That's enough to consider giving him custody. This is serious. What is renting a baby? She was pregnant and alone. I met some people who became friends and who I now consider family. One of the ladies was pregnant, but she had a miscarriage and became depressed. To help me with my studies. I'm at school. In exchange for? Taking care of the baby. Do they pay you to take care of your baby?

That makes no sense. How could they pay you...? They are helping me. Why would anyone pay you to take care of your own daughter? It is not like this. They are helping me to get ahead. In exchange for? So the baby can be with me. Well. How often do you take care of the baby? Every day. He only sees her twice a month. So they have her all the time and you see her twice a month. Yes. So they are like surrogate parents. Something like. I work at night in a restaurant and study during the day, so I don't have much time with her.

And they also pay you. They help me pay my bills. Bring out the accused's witnesses. -Good afternoon. -Good evening Madam. Her name? -Andrew. -Esther. Who are you two? This is my wife and we are friends with Diandra. We take care of the baby. And you pay to take care of her. Well, we don't pay for that. We give her money so she can finish school and do something for herself. But why? So she can move forward and get her baby back. But... are you two philanthropists? Saints? Fallen angels? I was very depressed at the time and her baby helped cheer me up.

My wife was pregnant at the same time as Diandra, but she lost the baby. She developed an infection and now we can't have any more children. So you feel like this baby is filling the void of your loss. Something like that. Yes, but we don't see her as our baby. We love her, but we know that she is her mother. So you don't want to adopt her. I have video evidence of her abusing my daughter. Who has the video? I gave it to Production. Does he abuse the baby? She asks him to call her mom. Liar.

We'll see. Who I am? Check it out. Who I am? Call me mom. See? What is my name? Look, she doesn't want to go with her. You can't see anything there. She is not mistreating her. But she's confusing her. A person who is not her mother demands that she call her mom. Like I said, my wife suffers from depression and sometimes has bad episodes. But she is a good person. Is the baby here? Yes. Tell her to go out with the baby. Look at that little princess. Does Valeria walk? Hello Valeria! How are you? Mother. Where is mom?

Look at her pointing. Where is mom? Mother. No, she doesn't know you. Come with mommy. She's just nervous. She goes there. Stay here. Hello Valeria. Come with me. Come with me. You do not want? Doctor, is that her daughter? I think so. She is nervous. Roberto, take her outside. I do not know what is happening. I do not know what is happening. Something doesn't add up. She doesn't want to go with Roberto. Leave her with the doctor. Please sit down. Dr. Hernandez, that child does not identify with anyone in the courtroom. You are welcome. Only with you.

Which is worrying. I'm nobody to her. This child has no emotional ties to anyone. The person he should have a connection with is her mother, but she hasn't formed that bond with her daughter. both for the child and for them. But I can't give her to this man, a stranger. He doesn't know that child and she doesn't know him. Yes, but you said it. She has not formed any emotional connection with anyone. It's time for me to start. It's very important. With me then. I am her mother. You had your chance and look what you did.f co.

But if you approach her, will she recognize you? Well, she was pointing at me. I don't know if it's illegal to rent a baby. Should be. At the very least, the mother is being negligent. I agree. She is treating her daughter like she is property. Is there any police back there? Could you tell me if this is a crime. Mayor Fuente, can babies be rented? No. You don't know who you rent to. It is endangering a child and may be considered child abuse. It is psychological abuse for the child. But they are not strangers. I understand.

My mistake. I declare the legal and biological father of Eduardo Valeria. We will determine how much child support will be paid based on his and the mother's income. It will not be retroactive to her birth because she denied the fact that he was the biological father and named her late husband on the birth certificate. Since he didn't know, I can't force him to pay retroactively to her birth because she lied to him and he didn't know. But from now on he will pay child support. Additionally, I will hand the girl over to Major Fuente to take her to Child Services.

No ma'am! So they can investigate what is happening with this child. I think everyone is loose here and, to me, what matters most is the best interests of the child. It's final. Case closed. Be kind, be careful, educate yourselves, respect to receive respect and may God help us. See you next time. Thank you. CC: TELEMUNDO NETWORK [email protected]
