The video titled “Married Woman Had to DNA Test All Her Children ” is an episode from Paternity Court, a court show that deals with paternity disputes. This episode involves a complex case where Mr. Thompson is trying to save his 11-year marriage. His wife has a newborn baby, Micah, who he hopes is his but has doubts. The couple’s relationship is rocky, and they haven’t slept in the same bedroom or had sex in months. As Mr. Thompson puts it, “The current status of our relationship is… Is rocky. We don’t sleep in the same bedroom, we haven’t slept in the same bedroom in years, we haven’t had sex in probably about seven-eight months.”
The narrative takes a turn when the speaker found out that their spouse was texting and meeting other people, which led to conflict in their marriage. The speaker is discussing their troubled marriage and the need for DNA tests on their children. They feel that they were not ready for marriage and did not understand the commitment and responsibility it entails. Mrs. Pate Thompson admits, “Honestly, Your Honor, I think when we first got married, we really weren’t ready to be married. You didn’t understand the depth of the commitment and the responsibility of marriage.”
Mr. Thompson wants Micah to be his biological child and doesn’t want another child, especially a black child, to grow up without a father. He expresses his feelings by saying, “I would love for him to be my son. You know, if he was a man, I don’t know, if I could raise another man’s child, but with everything going on, the connection that me and Micah has together, I can’t let another… I can’t let another child, especially a black child grow up without a father.”
The court case reaches its climax when a DNA test was conducted and the results were revealed at the end of the text. The court has determined that Mr. Pate-Thompson is not the father of four-month-old Micah Pate-Thompson. Mr. Pate-Thompson is upset but had already accepted the situation. He wants to be a father to Micah, who currently has no father figure. He shares, “I had already accepted this situation when I knew he wasn’t but to actually know he’s not mine hurts a little bit more. The other dude don’t want nothing to do with him, but like I said, I can’t let another child grow up without a father.”
The judge advises both Mr. and Mrs. Thompson to seek counseling and resources to work on their marriage. The court is adjourned. Judge Lake commends Mr. Thompson for his commitment to Micah, saying, “When you speak so beautifully about not wanting another child to grow up without a father, I’m proud of you for saying that. Because in that moment, you’re putting yourself aside and you’re focusing on Micah.”
