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.

An Illinois man cheated and then married his family member's babysitter, but now he doubts fathering her 16-month-old son.

An Indiana woman says her former lover is denying her daughter because he and his girlfriend are back together.

A Connecticut woman wants to prove her boyfriend is not the father of her 23-day-old baby so she can clear the way for her marriage to another man.

A California man claims his girlfriend dumped him to get back with her ex, and she is certain that he is not the father of her 4-year-old daughter.
