Unwed parents accuse each other of drug trafficking, vandalism and theft; a 6-year-old's gaming accident destroys a TV.

Family members fight over brain surgery, the cost of a wedding and false allegations to child protective services; a teen sues her boyfriend for unpaid baby-sitting fees for his three children.

A woman accuses four men of shooting up her car during target practice; an ex-lover sues a terminally ill woman for rent, bail and late fees.
