When was the lease signed?
The lease was signed in April of 98.
Who was there?
My daughter and myself.
Just the two of you?
That's correct.
But he knows, he knows that this apartment was, I was helping him get into this apartment
and he knows that.
All the utilities were in his name, that was the first thing he did was put the utilities
in his name.
I had an agreement with Tina to help her pay the bills and buy groceries which totaled
over $600 a month and I felt, as a matter of fact I talked on the phone before that
and said, I told her please quit giving your dollars.
We need to go through the tough times if we have to stay in a hotel for a couple weeks
to catch up.
I didn't need a luxury apartment, that was between them and I was there just trying to
help the kids.
Did you in fact pay for the groceries in the house?
Yes.
She was not working.
Did you pay the utilities?
Yes.
Step up here.
You were on welfare?
Yes, I was for about a period of three months.
And you were getting how much from welfare?
About, about $500.
How much of this $500 a month was supposed to go for rent?
Any of it?
None of it.
My mom was helping me out, that was the agreement.
When we walked into the apartment complex I told him I was not working, my mother's
willing to co-sign and she offered to help me out and of course I'm going to take it,
I have three children.
I would like to say something, if possible, why I feel this whole thing is happening.
On December 26th my mother came into our home, assaulted Matt, threw my Christmas tree towards
me holding my one year old daughter.
We had called the police, we called the police, filed reports, they saw the tree broken, they
saw his knee that was kicked, Matt filed charges, she called me up later on that day saying,
because Matt filed charges on me he's going to have his day in court.
That's why I feel she's doing it, she does not like him, she's been harassing us, she
has, we have assault and battery cases on her, we have a theft case on her coming in
breaking into his car.
Did you go to their home on that day?
The home that they're living in right now is my condominium.
In September I bought a new home and I offered, she said she was leaving her boyfriend, he
wasn't helping out, he wasn't contributing at all.
I said this is it, this is the last chance.
I spent six months paying for your rent, your boyfriend, I'm not going to do it anymore.
She didn't pay any rent for November, they lied, I found out the night before Thanksgiving
that he had moved in, the children had slipped, they were told to...
Try to be quiet.
I'm sorry, okay.
I'm getting the whole picture.
Okay, no problem.
I'm getting the whole picture.
No problem.
They were told not to tell me that they were in the home.
Okay, so you did go there in December and you had an argument with him?
I did.
Miss Good, listen to me.
Okay.
All right.
I've heard.
Yeah.
Observations.
Right.
A, you had no contract with him to pay the rent.
B, how old are you?
I'm 25.
Your daughter's 25, she has three children, you've been bailing her out a long time, you've
been covering her bills and her expenses for a long time.
As she said, she's going to give it, I'm going to take it.
So if you choose to continue to bail her out, that's certainly your prerogative.
As you see here today, you're not getting any gratitude for that.
Judge Judy continues in a moment.
You've got to sew up your zipper because you have, at least according to you, two children.

An apprentice waits until they have a job before they make babies.
And later today, he just came at me a second time and he put his hands again around my
throat.
Then he threw me against the shutters and he started indicating that he was going to
kill me.

Real cases, real people, Judge Judy.
Robin Good claims her daughter's fiance, Matthew Luthen, lived rent-free after she co-signed
for the apartment.
There was no question in my mind that you went to your mother and you told her at some
point, I'm separating from him, and she said to you, if that's the case, you can move into
my condo.
You moved into her condo, and before you know it, lickety-split, there he is, you know.
That night he was visiting.
She assumed he was.
One-year-old baby.
Of course I'm gonna come visit.
We have a baby.
