I'm so tired of people claiming harassment whenever another approaches them about something they owe. Just because you'd rather not hear about it, doesn't make it harassment!

Am I the only one who thinks it's selfish that she received $50k from the estate and didn't feel that she should even pay half of the funeral costs?

“My mom would want me to use the inheritance? to build my life” Girl pay your bill.

She is delusional. You're living with the man for free you cant give $6,000 for your mothers funeral. Thats pitiful

She knows she agreed to pay him back. She lacks character. Youth is no excuse for lying and refusing to own up to what you promised.

The defendant is such a liar. Out of $50,000 she couldn't pay back $6,000....?

I’m sorry, but you can’t say “I didn’t choose to live with him. I was 19”. You’re an adult at 18. No one forced you to live with him & your mom.

JM is so tactful in being sympathetic, when in all honesty she wanted to tell them to grow up and stop playing victim: "I'm only 20 and he's harassing me" The defendants have to be responsible and realize there's a debt to pay especially after receiving a 50k estate.

The vultures come out when there's a dead person. Her, fake voice.😊Doesn't fool me. She wants that money.

Is it just me or does she sound like she is talking in a softer voice to seem sweet, fair, and innocent, but probably in real life she doesnt sound like that?

Contract or not if someone paying for my mama’s funeral I’m definitely paying that person back and will hold them in high respect for giving my mama a proper burial

I really hate the fact that this gentleman was made to feel guilty for wanting his money back! You got 50k and didn’t even care to pay him back. SMH

The estate absolutely should pay for funeral costs, it's not your inheritance until all the final costs and expenses are dealt with. After that use the remainder however you want.

The daughters should have given him the money out of the mother’s estate. That is what her estate was there for, to cover her final resting costs. I don’t think the mother would’ve wanted him to be burdened for all those years paying a credit card bill because of her. It sounds like the daughters were just being selfish and wanted the $50k for themselves.

This is another reason why you can’t help people out…

She is being irresponsible. She lived for free and she did not like his tone. Entitled. Good for him for not allowing himself to be taken advantage of. Daughter disrespected her own mothers memory by being selfish. He was obviously a good enough man for her mom for ~20 yeras. This daughter inherets part of $50k and does not want to give this good man a dime. He is grieving too. She has her whole life to live- he is likely retired and every dime counts. Shameful on her part. Over the years he likely gave her much more too- treated her like a daughter. She is very cold towards him.

The defendants need to realize that they were an extension of their mother and now that she is gone that man has no obligation to take care of them regardless of 15 days or years men prefer to start their own families

The Defendant thinks if she talks in that little voice she’ll receive sympathy

She’s not even his daughter why she still staying there but complaining about paying for her mom. They should’ve had life insurance and if they didn’t then the mom estate is responsible of paying for the mom. Use the remaining money to start your life over with

This one hits home and brings up fresh, painful memories. Family members lose their moral compass when it comes to death and inheritance.

He is not her father. Why does she think he should support her.

In other words, the daughter saw the inheritance money and got greedy. Decided she wanted all the money for herself and stuck the funeral costs on someone else.

First at 19 she us an adult and absolutely has a choice where to live. It is disgustingly entitled to think a child should not have to pay partly for a parent's funeral and discustingly entitled to think she doesn't have to re-pay him

It’s her tryna baby talk for me .. CHILE PLEASE !! 🙄🙄 this is a good example of people using what they going thru for sympathy to get by

She full of crap! It’s giving selfish. If anyone helped me with my d3ad mother stuff I’m thankful…. Girl y’all got 50K pay that man back his 6K in full that’s nothing. She’s a little entitled also that’s not your Dad him letting your grown self stay in his house was enough then you think you gone stay rent & bill free girl you can’t even do that with your dad or his side of the family! What ever this man do for you is a blessing you and him share no blood relation.

Remember when 19 year olds were storming the beaches at Normandy. This one can't seem to wash her own arse, even if provided with a wash cloth, soap, and a map.

She wrong. You live in his house rent free recieved money from your mother and feel you shouldn't have to give the money back. She made out and said F you.

The audacity of the defendant. Nothing in life is free. Her mom should have had everything legally written up. She was 19, not a baby.

Why would she still want to live with him after her mother died?! Furthermore why would you not pay that man back out of her mothers estate?! What a brat.

I love these types of cases. I always take them as an educational practice for myself and others. Let's really take a second to think things through. I saw a lot of comments about the girls being selfish or that the plaintiff (fiancee) was in the wrong to sue the girls. What we need to focus on is that the deceased and the plaintiff were together for 15 years engaged for 3 years. BUT NOT MARRIED! This was the biggest issue. The plaintiff probably already took financial hits due to his partner being on dialysis and unable to work. Yes there is an estate but it was never clarified to the young girls what it should be used for. They think it should be used to start their life. I actually can see how they think that since in movies and TV shows that's how it is viewed, however the debt that the deceased does incur the estate should pay for. This is why conversations, paperwork etc need to be in place at all times. The girls should have been aware prior too what happens if anything were to happen to her mom. You really never know when it's your time. We can say it's a moral right but he may have kids of his own and bills for them. If we play house, these types of things will happen. I don't care if you have $1000k in the bank. A simple conversation with your kids and proper paperwork will help your loved ones deal with expenses and drama that may incur.

I agree with the ruling. Maybe if there wasnt an estate involved to pay final expenses and he seems like he is in a deep financial hole that's why he is asking, plus they already paid half.

They didn't want to pay for the funeral expenses, nor did they want to pay RENT! They wanted to keep all the money which is fine but you'd still have to pay for the funeral expenses! They should have relocation after her passing if they didn't like him.

It's crazy how the daughters don't think it's their responsibility to cover funeral costs for their mother. It's not unreasonable for him to want at least 1/2 after getting $50,000. It's embarrassing how she wants to act like an adult bc she's getting an estate but for certain things she wants to act like a kid. Buying a guy with the $$$ is a dumb idea. She could have put down on an apartment and go live alone.

He has such a nice calm voice

Getting sick of these 19 year olds these days who are too young to be financially responsible yet old enough to have an abortion, smoke, have tattoos, have a sex change operation, etc. Being an adult works BOTH ways. Talking like a baby does not make you one in the eyes of the court.

Defendant -- "I want to be treated like an adult except when it benefits me to claim that I am only 19."

Not to make light of the Mom's death at all, but by that age, if you're working at all & living in someone else's home, you should be helping with bills. My brothers & I were paying a little with each paycheck we got through our summer jobs during our high school years. Our Parents weren't rich, & were trying their best to make ends meet while the 4 of us were growing up. And we didn't see any harm in helping. I believe that is part of good life/work ethics.

Lol that is not her real voice. She's doing her best to sound innocent and child-like to get sympathy.

“Dating” for *FIFTEEN* years? That’s not dating. Engaged for a THREE years? Wild.

Her baby talk I can just tell how unbearable it’s been for him. 19 is an adult, pay rent weirdo.

Facts him and her mom dated not married, she got 50k and still had outstanding bills out here and she didn’t want to pay him because she feel she didnt had to it’s sad but the real thing is he want his money back just pay the man and leave it as that

You're with someone for 15 years, engaged for 3 and living together... I understand there's no legal obligation but geez, seems reasonable he'd cover some of the funeral costs.

Money and love shouldn't mix but sometimes we hope the person that truly loves us would be willing to pay whatever it takes on our behalf.

She is young. That’s how they act. No sense of responsibility yet. But daughter said something that caught my attention. She said they are together. So the burden should be on him and not the kids. So I wonder if she feels that way about her moms belongings. Since they are together should he be the one who receives what she left behind. Of course daughter would say no.

She has to learn to grow up . That’s all and this is a reality check that she needed .

He made the gesture to pay for the funeral with the agreement that he would get paid back when the estate settled. He was under no obligationan to do so. The daughter received $50K from the estate, and feels no obligation to pay the balance. That's pure entitlement.

He was with the mother for 15 years and engaged for 3. They basically common law married.

She is not a child get out that man house and pay that man back for your Mothers funeral

Whether she agreed to pay or not doesn’t make a difference . The deceased funeral expenses comes out of that estate - and it is not right for anyone to steal from it an use it for themselves . Even if a person is in desperate circumstances.

Think it's disrespectful that they didn't pay for funeral out of estate. They are not even grateful, he helped them out. Very sad 😔

"I'm 19". You're an adult at 19 🙄.

Wow people are so mean, he claimed he knew the woman 15 years but has no respect for her to even pay half the funeral bills, that love?

I’m only 19? I’m surprised the judge thinks he may morally have to pay for the funeral surprised me. I don’t think he harassed her, she just didn’t like the message. He kept her living there for free and there’s zero gratitude or care for him who loved her mother for over 15 years

this is sad. this man paid for her mother’s funeral out of pocket and housed her completely for free despite being an adult and she can’t pay him back without being dragged to court? smh.

Her mother wasn’t his wife & mom knew that. Her estate is there to pay for her expenses. That’s not harassment it’s the truth. 🙏🏿🙌🏾

I believe the defendant is a manipulative liar. The soft voice is questionable too. The judge was out of line for how she sided with the defendant's based on emotions.

I don’t agree with the judge being sympathetic to the girls but the man who’ve been with this lady for even longer than they were born even as friends lost his partner. So to completely disregard his feelings is distasteful.

After 15 years of a relacionship i would have paid the funeral in full!

I’d think the inheritance should go towards the funeral. He’s hurting financially and probably wouldn’t hound her like he did if she wasn’t getting an inheritance. He should’ve married the lady instead of playing house then he would’ve gotten some of her inheritance. I probably would’ve given him some

Imagine how hard it was for him to have to sue the daughters of his fiancé. Surely, he cared about not only their mother but also them, considering he let the younger daughter live with him for free. If he put these expenses on his credit card and let it accumulate interest, it’s because he obviously couldn’t afford to pay out of pocket any more than the daughters could. Help the man out like he helped you!

Her age is no excuse for not being a responsible adult. Someone should not have to bring you to court to settle your mom's estate smh that's just so tacky

Deplorable?! What?! I think the fact that the judge called him deplorable because he was trying to get his money back is a little triggering for me. if the man is not rich and he needs the money to make ends meet, what is so deplorable about that? It's her own mother's funeral, and she believes she should pay absolutely nothing towards it? but be able to pocket all the money that was left behind? Is it me, or is the judge showing bias in this case?

He owes that girl nothing he didn't marry the mother he didn't adopt her so pay him

The defendant is manipulative, and entitled. The estate is responsible for funeral expenses. He was never married to the defendant’s mother. What a terrible young woman for treating a man who has been in her life for so long in this way. What goes around definitely comes around. Shame on her.

You are 19, you are an adult. You didn't move out after your Mom passed and you received 50k. Judge was a little mean to this man, who was there for them since she was 5 years old!

Crazy thing is...she went on a TV show that will end up paying what she owed...so she still wins 😂

Every time I have paid for a funeral for a family menber, it took years to get them to pay back their portion of the cost. I usually get critizism the funeral was "too cheap", not enough flowers, I did not rent a limo for the family. None of the dead persons friends showed up because "the funeral was out of their way". I was told to NOT handle the funeral arrangement by several family menbers who did not like the way I did it. When those people died, I had to arrange for the funeral and pay for their burial. They died broke.

$20 says they spent that money already LOL

That wasn't his children or was he married their mother to be legally responsible so for them two adult girls to not pay for their own mothers funeral with the estate after is just unappreciative and selfish.

If your mother has an estate then they should pay for 100% of it PERIOD. And you living in his apartment rent free...... tf

Got money for a dumbass tatt but no money to pay back a debt

She was your mom before she was his wife and the estate is suppose to pay for burial.

I’ve been with my husband 15 yrs, my daughter is from a previous young relationship. We’ve raised my daughter together. I would turn in my grave if my husband threatened to kick out our 19 yr old after I passed. But, we’ve been married 12 yrs and have been been tithed 14 yrs, so I understand that’s the difference here. But, I am like JM, she’s only 19 and just lost their mother. I would think he loved his finance so much none of this should matter or should happen. I guess ppl need to be sure who they’re laying with and raising their kids around. I know my husband wouldn’t mistreat our daughter.

50k…. Pay the guy and move oN if you don’t want to be harass

As soon as I saw that chest tattoo, I suspected the defendant was gonna be shady.

He didn't even need to bring to court his expenses for what he did prior to the mother's passing. There is something wrong with the plantif he is too articulate about the death and not showing any any sadness . Surely the mother told her daughters she had insurance. Something is wrong about this entire case.so if he got$3,500 then how much was the total. Tĥe insurance could have made a check separate to the plantif. This is sad. Once the mother passed the daughters should have gone to live with the grandmother. He got money from the sale of the house. I wonder if the sister got any money. This happens to many families.

She playing a damm game claiming I am 19 yrs old… plz pay the man

He may be their father but not married to the mother. The grandmother may not have wanted the girls to live with her, especially if she didn't get any money.

Defendant has a lot of nerve. He let you live rent free with him and you can't help payback for your own mom's funeral. Smh

I think it was inappropriate that the judge was shaming the plaintiff for wanting his money back. Wishing he'd go away? That was unnecessary.

@12:54 thats why they keep Doug around. He has a way of getting the truth out of the litigants without them suspecting a thing.

Couple = 2 Few = 3

You know what sucks? Being an orphan. I lost both my Mom and Dad within the past 6 years and it's truly the most lonely and helpless feeling. The two people who created me are gone, and I have trouble thinking about that. 😢

I hate how they make it seem like they have to actually pay it when the show pays it

I had a contractor doing home renovation. He never finished the work and it was horrible work. After many, many attempts to talk to contact him with no response, I sued him in small claims court and won but he claimed he didn't have money to compensate me but I see his daughter driving a brand new Toyota Corolla. Huh? Never trust contractors. Even signed contracts and losing their bond does not work in your favor as the client. Crooked contractors are the worst.

I'm sorry you lost your mom...but its time to be an adult lil lady. He didn't harrass you, he asked you to pay bills. You had the grace and covering of your mother, but that man wasn't obligated to take care of you by any means

But Judge I’m just a sweet wittle girl and he’s a big meanie 🤦🏾‍♂️

WOW THIS IS INSANE. EXCUSE ME ALOT OF THESE KIDS IN THESE DAYS AND TIMES. AINT WORTH A DAM. SMDH. U DONT WANNA PAY FOR YOUR MOTHERS FUNERAL SERVICES. AND SOME OF THAT 50,000 IS JUST FOR THAT.ARE YOU KIDDING ME.THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME. IVE SEEN THIS BEFORE.ALOT OF THESE KIDS ARE NO GOOD.

Her estate should have paid it all off

"The defendant definitely should have paid the man whatever was owed, especially considering she received $50k from the mother's estate. However, one would assume that if the man had been with the daughter's mom for nearly her entire life (almost 20 years), he might have been inclined to contribute to some of the expenses. Perhaps not the entire $6k, but at least half, especially considering they may have been considered common-law married in certain states."

I feel the judge was trying to make the plaintiff feel bad. That’s not right

Yes, they were a couple, but she was also your mother. If you had the means to help him cover the cost I don't know why you wouldn't help him.

SHOULD HAVE MARRIED HER AFTER 15 YEARS!!! THEN IT WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR EITHER OF THEM!!!

That man owes her nothing. They arent his responsibility and has no obligation to give her a rent free residence and waiving her debt. Her claims of harassment while speaking in that fake baby voice was classic.

What a miserable old man. Hope he’s proud of himself. Judge was right, he has a moral obligation to eat the cost, she’s got an entire life to pay for, without her mother at such a young age, wtf is 𝘩𝘦 gonna do with it?? 🙄😡

Was there not some investment from the mother selling the house? Seems like he should have paid something for the funeral services. 15 years is a long time to be with someone and not feel responsible for some part of their life.

She wanted free living and keep the inheritance.

I would have paid him the full credit card bill made him sign that i owed him nothing further and moved on

It’s your mother it’s your job to do what’s right. He may be the boyfriend/fiancée but they are not married so he has no obligation to pay for her funeral unless he wants to. This girl is selfish and greedy. Her actions just proves how much she loves her mother.

What happened to the proceeds from the sale of the mom's house??
