I assume this is your fiancé?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Your last name
is...?
>> Bader.
>> Judge Judy: Mr. Bader
and Ms. Brasher
have a child together.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: How old is that
child, Ms. Brasher?
>> 5.
>> Judge Judy: Your lawsuit
claims that, at some point --
you'll give me the details of
the date and time --
Ms. Brasher vandalized your
house and your car.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And you want her
to be responsible for paying
for repairs
of your car and your house.
>> That's correct.
>> Judge Judy: And this all
started as a result
of a custody exchange.
Ms. Brasher,
I'm going to start with you.
Did you and
Mr. Bader ever live together?
>> Yes, we have.
>> Judge Judy: From when to
when?
>> 2010 to 2015.
>> Judge Judy: And your son
was born when?
>> 2011.
>> Judge Judy: When you
separated in 2015,
did you have
a custody arrangement
with Mr. Bader?
>> It was 2016,
our custody agreement.
>> Judge Judy: So starting in
2016, you had a custody
agreement.
Was that through the court?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Was there a
hearing, or was it a negotiated
agreement?
>> An agreement.
>> Judge Judy: Who had brought
the case for custody,
you or Mr. Bader?
>> Mr. Bader.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So there was an issue
with him seeing his son.
>> No, the --
>> Judge Judy: Well, he's going
to come up and tell me.
Mr. Bader, you want to stand up,
please, sir?
After you and Ms. Brasher
separated,
because this is all relevant
to this case -- after you
and Ms. Brasher separated,
were you regularly visiting
with your son?
>> It was an on-and-off thing.
Some days,
she would allow me to see him.
Some days, she wouldn't.
And that's why
I took it to court,
because I wanted my days.
>> Judge Judy: That's what I
figured, because when people
agree on things,
they usually don't have
to get the court involved.
Okay. So you went to court.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Did you have a
lawyer?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Did Ms. Brasher
have a lawyer?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: So tell me what
the court order was ultimately.
When do you have custody,
and when does she have custody?
>> We agreed on 50/50 custody.
She takes him Mondays
and Tuesdays.
I take him Wednesdays
and Thursdays.
And then we alternate weekends.
>> Judge Judy: And that's
been going on since when?
>> June.
>> Judge Judy: June of last
year?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And did it go
okay in June after the order?
>> It was a pretty rocky start.
>> Judge Judy: Did you have
to go back to court?
>> No, we have not yet.
>> Judge Judy: When you say
it was a pretty rocky start,
in your view, why was that?
>> Well, I mean,
with the whole incident
that happened with the car
and the house --
>> Judge Judy: Well, that
happened in October.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: I'm talking about
June, when the order was made.
>> We just have not had
a very great relationship
since the split.
>> Judge Judy: In the month of
August, the month of September,
did you have your son --
What's your son's name?
>> Barrett.
>> Judge Judy: Did you have
Barrett on --
You have Wednesday and Thursday?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Did you have him
each Wednesday and Thursday
and alternate weekends?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: So it went okay.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Do you bring him?
Or does she pick him?
Does that work?
>> She doesn't have a vehicle,
so I do most of the driving.
>> Judge Judy: So far,
is that correct?
>> Sometimes we meet halfway.
I have my mother take me
to meet him halfway
so he doesn't have to --
I live about half an hour away
from him, so we meet halfway
point.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
But that's the court order --
Wednesday and Thursday
and every other weekend --
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday --
Barrett is with his father.
Monday and Tuesday
and every other weekend,
he's with you.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Now, this
incident occurred on October
what?
>> 13th.
>> Judge Judy: Hmm?
>> The 13th,
which was a Thursday.
>> Judge Judy: So, it's a
Thursday.
So was Barrett with you
on Wednesday and Thursday?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And were you
supposed to have him that
weekend?
Or was his mother to have him
that weekend?
>> I believe it was her weekend.
>> Judge Judy: What?
>> I track their parenting time,
so I know for sure
it was her weekend that weekend.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So that weekend --
So you were supposed
to see him then on Friday.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And on Thursday,
you came to the house.
What time?
>> I'm not exactly sure
approximately what time it was.
>> Judge Judy: Well, let's think
hard.
>> 2:00 in the afternoon?
>> Judge Judy: What time was it?
>> It was 7:00 p.m.
>> Judge Judy: Well, I was just
going to ask everybody --
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: And you say no.
>> No.
>> Judge J
