Wow.. The fact that he said he saw "family" while on his leave is a slap in the face to his children... What a definition of worthless deadbeat father.
Sounds like my dad. He re-married a random Chinese woman with a daughter and now calls them his "true family". I know I'm not the only one with a dad like this, several of my coworkers have similar stories. There's some weird trend of mid-50s men marrying 30-year old Chinese women from online.
@@Wft-bu5zcdon’t take it out on the woman. Your dad sucks but unless she manipulated him (I don’t know the situation) she was just trying to get love too.
We’re a military family and my stepdaughter needed glasses, my husband got the eye appointment, consult and first pair for free because she’s a dependent. Because he’s also a Texas resident, she got the first 2 years (associates) of college for free. His military benefits took care of (a wife) 4 kids into and some past adulthood depending on their status (student.) This guy is absolute trash. He’s doing this on purpose. I doesn’t cost him anything. Routine medical/dental / vision. Braces are going to cost a fee, I think it’s considered “cosmetic.” Glasses are not and considered a requirement/ quality of life/ sight. The mom needs to contact a liaison and get those kids put on his DEERS as dependents and she wouldn’t even have to consult him for most things, unless she had questions. I’m disgusted.
My niece who is now a Captain in the service and on her way to be a Major said it is some nutty people in the military. Said if they were in combat she would not trust some of those folks to save her life. She only really joined to have her college paid for and she has since gotten an undergrad and a masters degree and is considering a PHD all Govt paid but she said it is cut throat and a bunch of screwballs running around there.
Nah, that was merely an excuse to not pay the bill. If you read his tone, his demeanor it's clear he doesn't give a damn about his ex wife or those two kids. He attempted to completely abandon them, including his financial obligation. At the end I got a hint that JJ picked that up too
My parents never bought me braces. I had to get them after school. My parents saw them as not being medically necessary but I would have liked to have straight teeth and a better bite. In few cases are they medically necessary. Glasses are necessary.
@@RJWaynerium you’re spot on. anyone who loves their kids would see their child whenever they’re home from military leave even if it’s just for an hour & he acts like he was kept from seeing them. many women wrongly withhold their children but it’s clear that’s not the case. the effect parental abandonment has on children is just awful. i experience something similar with my mom & it can be so hard to process even though i was a young adult at the time. i feel for those kids but it seems that mom does a good job so hopefully it’s not as difficult as it could be! he needs to be there or leave completely - popping up every few years is just unacceptable & painful for those poor kids!

At least the girls mom in interested in their needs! Yes braces are medically necessary to improve bite and preserve the wear of natural teeth!
Do you know how BAD teeth need to be to be deemed "medically necessary"? The teeth have to affect eating or cause chronic pain. But, what about horrible teeth that affect a child's self esteem and facial structure(that will most likely worsen over time)?!? I can't stand when a parent won't chip in for braces because they aren't "medically necessary". It's a cop out a majority of the time from a loser parent that wants to forget his/her children exist. Pathetic and sad.
I love it when you can tell that JJ is genuinely angry with one of the litigants and not just playing it up for TV, like at 3:50 - THIS IS YOUR FAMILY!
The military thing is a total excuse, we get 2.5 days of paid leave a month, you can save it up and use it. Him not seeing the kids is a choice he made, not something the military kept him from. All he had to do was request to use his leave and his command would have signed it off- especially if they knew it was to see his kids. And chances are this dude doesn't even check his email. His kids should on DEERS and also covered on his Tricare. He's just a piece of garbage.
If you are in the military they will give you time off to go back home. He needs to stop with the excuses and sacrifice being too busy and spending time with his family and spend time with his daughters.
I was wondering.... perhaps he has ptsd and has decided that he is not safe or capable to be around kids...? Perhaps a conscious decision? Doesn't excuse not paying their medical
THIS! When he threw out the military excuse I was like there is NO way. The military can be demanding but it has one of the most generous leave policies I've come across.
Yeah Can't blame military. Husband and father were in military they rarely took leave but traveled often while in, the 4 day weekends, etc. Seems like they had more days off than I do on my civilian job
My dad was in the Navy. Six months in and six months out. You can bet when he was on his "in" shift, he was at home spending time with his family - which was my mother and us kids. If his extended family wanted to see him, they came to us. I can't believe dads like this exist.
My children's father, 17 years, of marriage, 4 years aeparated, abandoned them physically and emotionally. Broke their hearts but after 30 years, kids reached out to him. Their choice. I do not forgive what he did to them...but they did.
I'm totally guessing the first baby wasn't planned and they "had" to get married; then came the second baby before mama fully realized what she had married. Daddy was probably never ever emotionally involved from day one just felt like he got caught.
The military doesn't doc pay. The state allows you to set up automatic allottments that go straight from your paycheck. But paying child support is required by law. If the military catches you slacking you get non-judicial punishment
@Firepaw20011 the military does to! If you get BAH for kids and a spouse, the spouse just has to go to his chain of command and they will set her up an allotment if they no longer live together. He xant collect the money without taking care of the kids.
@@Firepaw20011 this is partly true and he could also be discharged. The military requires support payments as a matter of law and support can be indirectly garnished. The military is also an exception in that it requires a percentage of your pay to go to child support, in his case I believe it's 25%.
@@Firepaw20011Not true. My parents divorced and a child support order was part of the divorce decree. my dad was active duty Navy. The DOD deducted from my dad’s pay and sent the money directly to my mom. The state wasn’t involved in it. My dad lived in various states over my childhood.
@@Chick87rh I don’t have any kids nor am I married..But I have a little Parrot 🦜 that I can’t go not seeing for more than 3 days!!! Some of these military folks are super cold hearted…
He seems like he has an excuse or two for why he hasn't seen his daughters or doesn't need to pay for his kids. Dude you have made them bro. Take the time and sacrifice being too busy and spend time with your daughters.
My father claimed for 5 years my mom took us from him and that he wanted to see us and kept saying he’d offer to fly us to visit him and she made it difficult. Mind you, he drove up and down the coast all the time, but never could seem to make it into our state. Once I was 17 I tried taking him up on his offer and he always had an excuse why he couldn’t at that time. It was another couple of years of me communicating with him before he finally sprung on me that he was available some random long weekend, and even then he was still somehow making it my moms fault this plan took so long. Some people just have zero accountability, especially when it comes to their children.
I was surprised at the defendant’s honesty. He said he went to visit his family when he was on military leave, which obviously didn’t include his children, and he said that as if it perfectly normal. I was also surprised that he didn’t try to lie and say the plaintiff tried to keep him from seeing his kids. He even said he hadn’t seen his kids in 6 years. He said all of this with a straight emotionless face, as if it were perfectly normal. That is the behavior of a psychopath. The only thing he lied about was not receiving the email about the glasses for his kids. Other than that, he didn’t try to get out of anything. True psychopathic behavior.
@@Dee-zy3pr you gotta love these RUclips pseudo psychologists. There are hundreds of reasons why he didn't even bother to lie, not giving a solitary shit could have been one of them. But, clearly, that's the behavior of a psychopath, as diagnosed by anonymous dumbass.

I continually feel so fortunate to have the dad I had instead of this waste-of-skin one. My dad wasn't perfect, but I loved him dearly and knew he loved me.
How very sad for those kids. They deserve better than a father who comes by "when he has time," equating to ONCE in six years! I hope they have some other more positive adults in their lives.
She's the most fair judge out there. If a man is ever treated badly by his ex wife then Judge Judy is the one he should go to. Most judges automatically side with he mother but Judge Judy is for justice no matter if you're the mother or the father.
So true but most people will say it's not true. The community is comprised of families built on strong foundations. Without good families there are no good communities.
I'm not condoning his actions. I'm not sure what he did in the military, but he seems a bit off. The real victims here are the children who don't have their father around, then again maybe it's for the better he doesn't seem to care much.
Disgusting excuse for a man. You don’t have to have any relationship with your ex, but you do need to make an effort with your children. Understanding that sometimes things get tough, but SIX YEARS?!? Inexcusable. And the fact that he said he saw family on his time off…but not his MOST immediate family… the children he produced.
I can't imagine not seeing my kids for 6 years. I am divorced, but I see my kids every weekend and some days during the week. My ex and I both agree that it is important that they have 2 loving, involved parents despite our not being in a relationship.
How can you not see your kids in 6 years!! I’d have trouble with 6 hours! 😫 My heart breaks when I go a month or two without seeing my nieces & nephews. People are weird
It’s the military brain washing him he’s trained to kill and that’s what the military wants he prolly been a good dude TILL the military unfortunately he is a pos but hes trained not to love
My heart breaks for those babies. He doesn’t deserve them. How do you not see your kids. I freak out if my kids don’t answer the phone when I call or respond to my “I was just…” or “I didn’t want nothing” text.
One time in 6 years? I would not leave my children alone with him. He appears cold and uncaring. I pray the daughters doesn't have emotional issues in the future. So sad.
Did the plantiff really say after jj asked him what prompted him to see his kids after 6 years, "That he actually had the time" whoa, what a soulless creep
Sounds similar to my cousin’s daughter. The child spends a lot of time with her paternal grandparent, but her father ignores her. She only sees him if he happens to be at his parents’ house while she is there. They all live in the same city.
Ooooh he’s got a new family.. he’s taking his punishment like a champ though, I’d like to think he was trying to turn a new leaf when he visited and because production pays the judgement he’s just taking it on the chin to get it paid for.

The defendant is ridiculous for not offering to pay ALL of it , considering he doesn't care enough to see them
How very sad for those kids. They deserve better than a father who comes by "when he has time," equating to ONCE in six years! I hope they have some other more positive adults in their lives.
The military has 30 days of paid vacation each year and you can save up a couple of years and then take it all at once 🙄.
JJ don’t play. And she’s fair. If the mother was preventing him from seeing the children, she’d have lit her up quick
She's the most fair judge out there. If a man is ever treated badly by his ex wife then Judge Judy is the one he should go to. Most judges automatically side with he mother but Judge Judy is for justice no matter if you're the mother or the father.
My pops was a marine & I still remember him being present since I was a little girl! He always provided , protected & helped raise me & my siblings.
Is he the Gomer Pyle person of the military 😂😂😂
Not jj calling him a fool🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
"Who are you calling 'fool', fool?" How many of you would be brave to say that to Judge Judy? I wouldn't! 😆
God bless this momma ❤
absentee fathers is one of the big reasons our society is in trouble
Just like trump
Not so,it's a crutch people lean on to excuse bad behavior, and bad deeds .
It is one of the most important reasons. Not the most impactful, but definitely one of the most significant.
You couldn’t have spoken truer words! Well said 👍
So true but most people will say it's not true. The community is comprised of families built on strong foundations. Without good families there are no good communities.
That Ladies and Gentlemen is what we Marine's call a SHTBIRD
JJ was right. He's a fool not to include his own children as family. How horrible is that?!😮 Poor kids. I pray that they have a good Life 🙏
How dare he even breath oxygen! He undoubtedly has another family.
Fool 😂
That "fool" from Judge Judy was so satisfying
"Went and saw family". Wow. 😂
Judge: What prompted you to come visit after 6 years?
Defendant: I actually had time your honor
Me:LMAO!
What a WASTE of a man.
He is the kind of deadbeat dad you'd see on Steve Wilkos.
Thank you for the defendant for your service in the military but shame on you for not taking care of your own family!
… He looks the type to run from a war (that’s what deadbeats do).
He looks a little shell-shocked if you know what I mean….. maybe staying away from the kids was a good idea.
lol! yessss. so glad JJ went in on him! he really is a fool.
What a worthless father….
This is a sad situation for the kids. They have a great mother
When she said “THIS IS YOUR FAMILY!” I lost it 😂
I'm not condoning his actions. I'm not sure what he did in the military, but he seems a bit off. The real victims here are the children who don't have their father around, then again maybe it's for the better he doesn't seem to care much.
“I actually had time” after SIX FULL YEARS of not seeing his kids. He got around to it.
He doesn’t deserve them.
I feel so sorry for the children, how they must be heart broken.
I screamed at the end the smh the nerve of some of these men
Disgusting excuse for a man. You don’t have to have any relationship with your ex, but you do need to make an effort with your children. Understanding that sometimes things get tough, but SIX YEARS?!? Inexcusable. And the fact that he said he saw family on his time off…but not his MOST immediate family… the children he produced.
I can't imagine not seeing my kids for 6 years. I am divorced, but I see my kids every weekend and some days during the week. My ex and I both agree that it is important that they have 2 loving, involved parents despite our not being in a relationship.
Sad to say, people like him would harm their kids just to get out of paying support. I pray those girls and their mother stay safe in Jesus' name.
🙏 Amen.
Her voice is very calming 😊
He probably just blocked her email address.
Judge J, I must concur with you. Ma'am you delivered justice for this mom and with style...lol.
What is wrong with that man? He seems dead behind the eyes.
How can you not see your kids in 6 years!! I’d have trouble with 6 hours! 😫 My heart breaks when I go a month or two without seeing my nieces & nephews. People are weird
Me too!😢
I really don’t get how dads can just not see their kids and it’s totally fine.
It’s the military brain washing him he’s trained to kill and that’s what the military wants he prolly been a good dude TILL the military unfortunately he is a pos but hes trained not to love
Damn, you can hear JJ voice at the end when she says "we're done" she seemed disgusted by the father and rightfully so
My heart breaks for those babies. He doesn’t deserve them. How do you not see your kids. I freak out if my kids don’t answer the phone when I call or respond to my “I was just…” or “I didn’t want nothing” text.
It's hard to understand why someone in his position would agree to coming on JJ to be humiliated.
… Imagine the daughters one day watch this episode, to literally hear their father not make them family. Very sad 😢
He saw his children once in six years and he is so nonchalant about it. He's a terrible person!
I will never understand people who voluntarily don’t see their children.
Gone and forgotten...😢
I threw my phone across the room when he said he used his military leaves to visit his family.
“Fool” 😂😂😂😂
I'm glad JJ told him off
The fact that you get 2 days of leave every month 😒 I used to see my family for holidays and everything.
One time in 6 years? I would not leave my children alone with him. He appears cold and uncaring. I pray the daughters doesn't have emotional issues in the future. So sad.
He is NOT a part of my military! I’m a veteran and we Do NOT claim this fool!
He finally had time! 😤 They will be better off without him!
Did the plantiff really say after jj asked him what prompted him to see his kids after 6 years, "That he actually had the time" whoa, what a soulless creep
Defendant you mean, the plaintiff would be his ex-wife
@MichaelVillavicencio-cw8ix yes, that's what I meant
My grandchildren haven't seen their father in over two years even though they spend almost the whole summer with their other grandparents and family.
Sounds similar to my cousin’s daughter. The child spends a lot of time with her paternal grandparent, but her father ignores her. She only sees him if he happens to be at his parents’ house while she is there. They all live in the same city.
Even if braces aren't 'medically necessary' don't you want your daughter to have nice teeth? Man doesn't give two shits about his children.
The military would 100% frown on him not supporting his children.
After six years. He is just an inconsequential stranger to the children.
Judge Judy buzzword
Ooooh he’s got a new family.. he’s taking his punishment like a champ though, I’d like to think he was trying to turn a new leaf when he visited and because production pays the judgement he’s just taking it on the chin to get it paid for.
i hope she will be a judge in the san hedrin when moshiach comes
He seems soulless. Like he could care less about anybody or anything judge Judy has to say.
He is not only soulless but bloody clueless as well. 🙄
If you know you are wrong, and you know you are THIS wrong, why would you be a defendant on national tv?????!! 🤦🏼♀️
Spot on
Cause the show pays for judgments?
If not given a rat’s butt was a person it would be the defendant! 🤦🏾♀️
