and Ms. Franklin separate?
>> November 29, 2016.
>> Judge Judy: So, between 2013
and 2016,
you, your daughter,
her two children
and your wife were supported...
Is that what you're saying...
from her business?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy:
From her business?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy:
Now you can sit down.
Thank you very much.
Let me tell you what you wrote
in here.
Do you remember what you wrote?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy:
Well, just in case,
everybody
else should know what you wrote.
You said, "My father married
the defendant in 2012.
She was from Canada and trying
to get her green card.
She wanted to start up
her own online business
but couldn't get a loan."
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: "She asked
if I could get her a loan
because my father
wasn't working at the time.
I got approved
for a $20,000 loan,
and she started a business
in both our names."
That is such a different story
from what your father
just told me,
the story that you swore
to in your complaint.
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Now,
so would you say your father
was lying to me, or you were?
>> My father's pretty much
not telling exactly how it went.
>> Judge Judy:
So what you're saying is,
your father was lying to me.
Is that what you're saying?
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Let's see what your father
was lying about.
Did your father get a $20,000
settlement
as a result of a car accident?
The answer is either yes or no.
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: And that was
in 2012
when he gave
that money to his wife
to start up a business
to support them
because he was on disability.
Is that when you started
your business, in 2012?
>> Your Honor, I started
this business in Canada in 2008.
>> Judge Judy:
So it was continued here?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Your father says
that the $20,000
loan that the two of you
took out was for the move,
was for furniture
because you're not working.
>> Actually, Your Honor,
I have my tax return.
I did drive my car
to come into Florida.
She did not spend any money
on me to move here.
Everything is...
>> Judge Judy: Just a minute.
He said she paid
money for the move.
She paid money for furniture,
and she bought supplies in 2013
for a business
that was supporting all of you.
So now let's go back
to your work history.
So now you left your job
in New York in September
of 2014 and went to Florida.
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Where did you
work in Florida in 2014?
Name of the place
you worked in Florida.
>> 2014, I was not working
because
I was pregnant at that time.
>> Judge Judy:
Then let's go to 2015.
For whom were you working?
Now you have two children
and living
with your father and his wife.
Where were you working in 2015?
>> Your Honor, in 2015,
I moved out of the house.
I went to Fort Lauderdale,
and I found me a job.
>> Judge Judy: When in 2015?
>> June 2015.
>> Judge Judy: So January,
February, March, April and May,
you lived with your father
and his wife
with your two children
and were not working?
>> Charmain asked me to work
with her. She...
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
And were not working?
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: And then you left
the house,
according to you, in June,
moved to Fort Lauderdale.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy:
Where were you working?
>> Teleperformance, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: How long
did you work there?
>> For one year.
>> Judge Judy:
And what happened to that job?
>> My father and Charmain
consist me to return back
to help her with the business.
>> Judge Judy: So you were
getting along with her
because the business
was flourishing.
Now, just for my own
information,
during the time that you were in
Fort Lauderdale,
did your father
send you any money?
>> No, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy:
Now, this $20,000 loan
that was taken out by you
and your father
for the reasons that I ascribe
to what your father told me,
not you,
how much of that loan
did your stepmother pay back?
>> She paid 11,000.
>> Judge Judy:
And we're going to go back
to your statement, Mr. Franklin.
Step up for a moment, please.
It would be a fair statement
that for a substantial part
of the time that your daughter
and her two children
were living with you
and your wife,
that your daughter
and two children
and you were supported
through her online business?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Perfe
