Different from other court shows, "Lauren Lake's Paternity Court" acts only on family issues. There are no battles over rent money or damages caused by a car accident. These emotional cases can have life-changing consequences for participants and sometimes new beginnings for individuals. While most suits relate to a child's paternity -- including deadbeat dads and DNA-test determinations -- others involve things like grandparents fighting for visitation rights. Lake's lengthy legal career has specialized in family law, making her a natural fit for this court.

A Georgia woman returns to court with two of her mother's ex-lovers and hopes that one of them is her father.

An Atlanta man and his pregnant girlfriend claim he is not the father of another woman's 13-month-old son.

A Detroit woman lost both her sons and is desperate to know if one of them fathered a child prior to his death.

A Florida man claims he was only joking when he told a 27-year-old woman that he was her biological father.
