It's the day of the child support case, and Fatima is getting ready to walk into court.
Andi: You ready?
Fatima: As ready as I'm going to be.
Andi: You got this.
Fatima walked into court and walked over to Aisha.
Fatima: Where is Mike ( she whisper to Aisha )
Aisha: Your guess is as good as mine..
Judge Harris: Collins where's your client?
Collins: He will be here.
Judge Harris: Court started 10 mins ago
Mike walks in with some female
Mike: Sorry I'm late, got caught up in traffic.
Judge Harris: Just take your place Mr.Keyes..
Mike: Yes ma'am
Mike got in place and they got started
Judge Harris: Ms.Wilson
Aisha: Yes Ms.Judge
Judge Harris: You brought this case before the court, tell me what's going on?
Aisha: Well I brought Mr.Keyes here to see about getting child support for our daughter who's now 3 1/2 years old. Mr.Keyes does not see his daughter nor support me at all when it comes to her. But he wants to be out buying cars and everything else but not take care of a child he helped make.
Judge Harris: And Mr.Keyes what is your response?
Mike: Judge Harris, she's lying. She's the one that's keeping me from my child. Every time I try to get her it's a problem.
Aisha: That's a lie and you know it.
Judge Harris: Mr.Keyes from the documents that were filed, shows that Ms.Wilson indeed asked you for keep, and even asked you to speak time with your daughter, but you either always busy or something came up.
Mike: Judge I am a busy man, I run a business that I'm responsible for.
Judge Harris: Mr.Keyes you do know that it's your responsibility to take care of your child, not just hers.
Mike: Yes ma'am.
Aisha: He can't do that when he's too busy running behind and being controlled by his lil girlfriend. I have a business that I run myself, and work day in and day out. But I take care of my daughter, making sure she's well. I have to pay for everything, healthcare, food, clothes, shoes, school, etc. The least I ask for is 3 thousand a month in child support. But he didn't want to pay that. He hasn't seen his daughter since she was born.
Judge Harris: I see that y'all were once married.
Mike: That has nothing to do with this case.
Aisha: Yes Judge Harris we were once married, but we divorced before I had her because he was unfaithful.
Judge Harris: Ms.Wilson, I just want to say that you are a very strong woman, who's just trying to make a living for your daughter. And as a mother, I respect your hustle and commitment towards doing what's best for your daughter.
Aisha: Judge Harris, my daughter is my world. And it's nobody's else's job but mines and her father's, to make sure she's taking care of. But since he's don't do anything for her, I have to step in for the both of us. It breaks my heart hearing my daughter cry because he decided that he wants to put everybody and everything before her, I'm tired. Luckily I have a team of strong women behind me. If I didn't have my sisters and mother who helps me out a lot, I don't think I would have the strength that I have to make it through.
