Mom SECRETLY Blocks Guardian ad Litem — Judge EXPLODES When the Truth Comes Out #familycourt

Added: 2026-05-15

[00:00:00]I I don't know that there's a whole lot of agreement. Um requesting the court for a final order. Uh I believe the uh Miss Rose is going to be testifying and her believe her testimony is going to be well I guess we'll we'll see what her testimony is. Okay.

[00:00:16]>> Uh it's going to be the testimony I believe is going to be somewhere in line with what the temporary order uh did.

[00:00:22]Uh, I think she's going to be asking for 4,000 and change in in retro or is going to is calculated 4,000 and change in retro. So, I believe I'm going to be asking the court for $75 repayment.

[00:00:35]Um, I I believe Miss Robinson is going to be adamantly opposed to adding Mr. Brown's name. Uh, I'll let her speak to that. Um uh and I believe the testimony is going to, like I said, is going to be that, uh we haven't uncovered any evidence that that Mr. Brown, uh makes the money that he may have claimed to make in the in the past. Uh so I I don't believe Miss Robinson is going to be uh content with with what I found are my numbers, unfortunately. Uh I understand where she's coming from, but I I don't I don't know that I'm gonna be able to make her happy on this one, unfortunately.

[00:01:16]All right, Miss Ed.

[00:01:20]>> Yes, your honor. Uh, so I was appointed in this matter to represent the child, but also to look into um the father's income. Um, we were not able to establish any kind of contact with dad.

[00:01:34]Uh, my staff did attempt to reach out to both mom and dad. Uh, we were able to make contact with mom, but she made it abundantly clear she was not interested in talking to me. Um, and she never actually directly spoke to me. She told my parallegal that she did not want to cooperate. So, I don't have anything I can contribute um because neither of the parties was cooperative with me.

[00:02:00]>> All right, guys. Today's courtroom drama starts getting intense immediately as the judge shuts down the mother's objections and reminds everyone that Texas law, not emotions, controls the courtroom.

[00:02:11]Tension rises fast when the judge openly says the father still has legal rights despite the conflict between both sides.

[00:02:18]>> Thank you very much, Mr. At Lightam. All right, Mr. Robinson. Here's the deal, ma'am. This is a court of law. I'm a lawyer. These other two people are lawyers. I'm going to follow the laws, ma'am. You can shake your head all you want, ma'am. Here's the bottom line. You had a child with this person. This person's the father. I've got to deal with it. And I got to deal with it in conformity with Texas law. So, if you got if you got a legal argument you want to make, ma'am, you you're your own attorney. can make it. But the bottom line is uh you you have to put on direct proof that is that is available to you.

[00:02:47]Uh and uh and and whatever and that's what the court has to go with. The norm is I'm supposed to order guideline child support based on what he earns. I'm supposed to set up some type of visitation package and I'm supposed to go ahead and look at changing the child's last name to reflect of the father because that's what Texas law says is in the best interest of the child. So ma'am, we're going to rock and roll. We're gonna get this taken care of. But uh but again uh what you want may not be in conformity with Texas law.

[00:03:13]And if if it what you want is in conformity, I'll grant it. But if it's not, I cannot. So here we go. Anyway, Miss Robinson, you need to unmute yourself and raise your right hand, ma'am. And I'll swear you in and CS Cso Rose testifying in this one also, Mr. Bl.

[00:03:28]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:03:29]>> She's already under oath. All right, Miss Robinson. Do you solemnly swear affirm your testimony you gonna give this court today, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? So help you, ma'am?

[00:03:36]>> Yes.

[00:03:37]>> All right. Thank you very much. And I'll let the state call you as the fir call his first witness. Thank you.

[00:03:42]>> Uh call Brenda Rose, your honor. Miss Rose, will you state your full name?

[00:03:46]>> Brenda Rose.

[00:03:48]>> I mean, your honor, I I I'm guessing that Miss Rose has already been qualified to testify. So, if it pleases the court, I I'll skip those questions.

[00:03:58]>> So, she's already been qualified and she's already been sworn in a prior case, so she we don't have to do that again. Thank you.

[00:04:03]>> Thank you, your honor. Uh, were you able to do a wage investigation in this case, Miss Rose?

[00:04:09]>> Yes, sir, I was. I did a wage investigation that included the last 12 months of reported income for Mr. Brown.

[00:04:18]Um, that income correlates with a $1,59418 gross income per month based on the last 12 months. Um it shows that based on that health insurance reimbursement um for this case would be $18.

[00:04:40]Um that puts his net resources at $1,410 >> because this part completely changes the financial side of the case. The court investigator reveals the father's actual income and the child support amount ends up being shockingly low. But then the retroactive support total is revealed, leaving everyone waiting to see how the judge responds next.

[00:05:04]>> And 23 cents per month. Um, I'm showing that he has three other children, which would qualify or have his child support set at $28 per month.

[00:05:19]>> Okay.

[00:05:21]>> Uh, and also with regard to the retro.

[00:05:25]>> Yes, ma'am. Please. Okay. So, I also um reviewed his wage information back from um the third quarter of 2021.

[00:05:36]based on all of his wage information from that point through um the uh quarter that would include May of 2023, I'm showing his total retroactive support would be $4,297 um as a total for that retroactive time frame.

[00:05:58]>> Okay.

[00:05:59]Uh, and I will pass. And I'm sorry, the the time and what what time frame is that that you used?

[00:06:04]>> From September of 2021 through May of 2023 because the temporary order started current support in June.

[00:06:14]>> Okay, I'll pass the witness, your honor.

[00:06:16]>> All right, Miss Farah. Any questions of CSO Rose?

[00:06:19]>> No questions for Miss Rose, your honor.

[00:06:21]>> All right, Miss Robinson, you're technically your own legal rep on this one, ma'am. Do you have any questions of the child support officer?

[00:06:30]I'm sorry, ma'am. You're muted.

[00:06:35]>> No, I don't.

[00:06:37]>> All right. Thank you very much, Miss Robinson. Does Mr. Diamond, any other questions of CSL Rose?

[00:06:43]>> No, your honor.

[00:06:44]>> May she be excused?

[00:06:45]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:06:46]>> All right. Thank you very much. You're free to go. Thank you very much, Miss Rose. And Mr. Diamond, you can call your next witness.

[00:06:51]>> Thank you.

[00:06:51]>> Thank you. Call Sierra Robinson. Uh, Miss Robinson, will you state your full name, please?

[00:06:57]Sierra Robinson.

[00:06:59]>> And who is the child the subject of this suit?

[00:07:01]>> JC Robinson.

[00:07:04]>> Were you able?

[00:07:05]>> Things suddenly get awkward in court when the mother admits she refused to cooperate with the courtappointed representative. The questioning becomes uncomfortable fast and the judge now has to handle a case where communication between everyone involved has completely broken down.

[00:07:19]>> Listen to the opening that I gave the court a few minutes ago.

[00:07:22]>> I heard you.

[00:07:23]>> And is is there anything that needs to be corrected?

[00:07:26]Nope.

[00:07:28]>> Okay. Uh, the state pled for non-disclosure in your case. Do you do you have any safety concerns that the court ought to consider?

[00:07:39]>> No, I don't.

[00:07:40]>> So, you're okay with with your address being listed in the the order?

[00:07:44]>> That's fine.

[00:07:46]>> Okay.

[00:07:49]Uh, were were you and Mr. Brown ever in a relationship? No, we went.

[00:07:56]>> Okay.

[00:07:58]Uh, now I'll pass a witness, your honor.

[00:08:06]>> All right, mama. Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Diamond. Your witness, Miss Sarah. Thank you.

[00:08:11]>> Good afternoon, Miss Robinson.

[00:08:14]>> Good afternoon.

[00:08:16]>> Um, I just wanted to to make sure my office did reach out to you um with regard to this case. Is that correct?

[00:08:24]Um, I guess so.

[00:08:26]>> And you spoke with my parillegal, Courtney. Is that correct?

[00:08:30]>> Yes.

[00:08:31]>> And you told Miss uh Thompson that you did not want to communicate with me or provide me with any information.

[00:08:38]Correct.

[00:08:39]>> Correct.

[00:08:41]>> Um, and uh I was not given the opportunity to meet with your child. Is that correct?

[00:08:46]>> Correct.

[00:08:47]>> All right.

[00:08:49]And you know that you were ordered to cooperate with me and you chose not to do so. Was that correct?

[00:08:54]>> No.

[00:08:57]>> Did you get a copy of the court order that stated that you were to contact my office?

[00:09:02]>> No, I did not.

[00:09:04]>> Okay. So, if that bears your signature, that is incorrect.

[00:09:09]>> Um, I haven't received the order.

[00:09:13]>> The order from June the 9th >> because this is where the emotional side of the case finally comes out.

[00:09:22]The mother tells the court the father disappeared shortly after the child was born and completely cut communication.

[00:09:29]But despite that, the judge begins explaining why the father may still receive parental rights under Texas law.

[00:09:36]>> I haven't signed anything. The last I spoke with, we were on court on Zoom.

[00:09:42]>> Okay. But you were >> She did not sign off on the uh uh uh order. Uh she was at the hearing, but she didn't sign off on the order. Thank you.

[00:09:50]>> Okay. All right. pass a witness strong.

[00:09:54]>> All right, then. Um, >> okay. At this time, Mr. Diamond, you have any other witnesses you wish to call, sir?

[00:10:08]>> No, your honor.

[00:10:09]>> How about Miss uh Miss Farah? Any witnesses?

[00:10:12]>> No, sir.

[00:10:14]>> All right, Miss Robinson, I'm looking at making your final order pretty much like your temp order. Uh um I'm not sure what uh so I'll ask the I'll ask a couple of questions. What kind of relationship has the father had uh uh with the child JC?

[00:10:28]>> Um no relation. Well, when he first was born, he seen him and then he cut all communication, blocked us. He said he wants nothing to do with him.

[00:10:38]No relationship.

[00:10:41]>> All right. So he hasn't and he hasn't been around you or the child since when, ma'am? um maybe November 2021.

[00:10:51]>> Okay.

[00:10:52]And you understand I'm uh uh is there any reason do and again I know you're not a lawyer, ma'am. Is there any any reason under the law that uh that the father cannot serve as a joint manage conservative? That didn't mean he gets custody. It means he does get the right as a parent. But is there any reason he could not serve as a joint manage conservator under Texas law, ma'am, that you know of?

[00:11:14]>> No.

[00:11:15]All right. So, but again, by law, I'm supposed to name you both joint management conservatives, give you the right to side doile, make that right unrestricted. I got to order him to pay child support based on the data that the state's been able to provide. They've got his earnings for the last year and uh uh the the time frame before that.

[00:11:30]So, I'm looking at granting the child support uh based on the fact that he uh the one child before the court. And >> this may be the most controversial moment in the entire hearing. Even after hearing the father hasn't been involved for years, the judge still explains that visitation rights must legally be granted. The courtroom tension rises as strict visitation rules and communication requirements are ordered.

[00:11:54]>> He has three others and are ordering the current child support at amount of $28 a month start uh and that's going forward. Ma'am, is there any legal reason or anything any other testimony you would have that shows that I should order something different?

[00:12:10]>> No.

[00:12:12]>> All right, then. And the cash medical amount uh again due to the fact he has three other kids would be $18 a month and that he owes you $4,200 and some change in unpaid child support.

[00:12:23]And I'm looking at putting that down as a judgment in order to repay you at that amount and at an additional $65 a month.

[00:12:31]Is there you have a problem with that, ma'am?

[00:12:33]>> No, I don't.

[00:12:35]>> All right, then. Here's the deal, ma'am.

[00:12:37]I've got to set up uh I'm setting you, like I say, you up as joint manager conservator. I'm looking at ordering him to have as the uh joint man with the right uh to have visitation. But because of his lack of interest and his lack of uh participation in the child's life, I'm looking at going ahead and I got to give him standard visitation, ma'am, but I got to do the breakin visits that I talked about earlier. He's he's ma'am.

[00:13:00]Do you know what city he lives in?

[00:13:02]>> He lives in Austin.

[00:13:03]>> Right. That's close enough. I would make him have to visit uh uh I would give him the first 35th Saturdays of the month from 1 to 5 for the first six visits that with you being there or your designated agent being there. He would have to give you at least 72 hours advanced notice. And uh do y'all do y'all communicate with each other at all?

[00:13:24]>> Not at all.

[00:13:26]>> Okay.

[00:13:26]>> Like I'm blocked.

[00:13:27]>> All right. Here's the deal, ma'am. I'm going to Well, what you'll have to do, ma'am, and and going forward, I'll order him to put have he have to communicate with you via App Close. That's a parenting app. All you got is both available on Google Play and on iTunes and you would have to go ahead and put it on your phone and uh if you he you never hear from a gentleman you never hear from him but it's got to be set up that he's got to give you at least 72 hours advanced notice if he wants to have any type of visitation under the court order breakin or otherwise and he has to do it through applose. Okay. So long as you've got applo on your phone uh you're in compliance. All right.

[00:14:02]>> Okay.

[00:14:03]>> All right. So that'll set that up. Um, you have any other children, ma'am?

[00:14:09]>> I do.

[00:14:10]>> How many other kids you have?

[00:14:11]>> Um, three others.

[00:14:13]>> What's their last name?

[00:14:14]>> Two living. Two living. Um, >> Johnson, Jackson, and Robinson.

[00:14:24]Besides JCon, there was another Robinson.

[00:14:28]>> Okay.

[00:14:32]All right, then. Uh, I'm gonna hold in advance a finding of changing the child's last name. Dad seems to be at total out-of- pocket person who hasn't been around. Uh, if he comes back in the next couple years and shows the court some type of uh, uh, pentance, I'll go ahead and look at maybe changing the child's last name at that point. But based on his behavior up to this point, I'm and fact he has another sibling already with that last name. I'm going to go ahead and keep the last name at Robinson until further order the court.

[00:14:58]I'm going to order the child support cash medical and retro as requested. Uh, I'm gonna make uh the father, Mr. Brown, responsible for paying all court costs.

[00:15:06]And I will know for the record that the ad lightam has fulfilled her duties in in comp in compliance with the Texas uh uh with the uh with the rules of involving ad light items and the Texas rules of civil procedure. And uh I'll ask the state to prepare an order and circulate it. M uh Miss Robinson, if you don't sign off on it, the court will sign off on it. But I'm I'm setting this stuff up as I just rendered. So ma'am, again, you're the only non lawyer here.

[00:15:33]Do you have any questions or anything else you're asking me to do, ma'am?

[00:15:37]>> No, sir.

[00:15:38]>> All right, then. Mr. Diamond, anything else, sir? Anything else I need specifically rule on in your behalf, sir?

[00:15:43]>> No. No, your honor. I think it's >> How about you, Miss Har?

[00:15:49]>> I I have nothing further, your honor.

[00:15:50]>> All right. Thank everybody very much for the hard work, and I appreciate everyone. I'll ask the state to prepare that order and ma'am, you'll get it by docuign. uh get it by docu sign. You can actually download it as a PDF and keep that copy, but there will be a file copy once it's is signed by me that you can pick up at the courthouse at any time.

[00:16:07]All right.

[00:16:08]>> Yes, sir.

[00:16:09]>> All right. May Robinson be excused, Mr. Diamond?

[00:16:12]>> Yes, your honor.

[00:16:13]>> All right, ma'am. You're free to go and we're off the record.

[00:16:19]>> All right. Because the final ruling brings both closure and surprise, the judge decides the child will keep the mother's last name for now while ordering child support and visitation terms against the absent father.
