get me the title to this car
from the defendant, please?
Title to the car!
Original title.
>> I do not have the
original title with me today.
>> Judge Judy: Where is it?
>> Actually, my mom has it.
I have the copy
that I leave in the car.
>> Judge Judy: What
is your mother
doing with the title to the car?
>> She keeps it in her safe
for me.
>> Judge Judy: Oh, well, good.
Very good.
Now, Mr. Nevarez,
this used to be your girlfriend.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And
while you were together,
she used her money
to buy this car.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And when
you split up, you took this car.
>> Yes.
But we also had an agreement
where, if she got the car,
I would supply the money.
And we got into a house.
And --
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
She supplied
the money for this car.
>> Yes.
But she was paid back for it
in full.
>> Judge Judy: She was paid
back how?
>> I actually got a job in --
in the town that I live in.
>> Judge Judy: No, yeah.
I do --
It's partially my hearing.
I know that something...
My hearing isn't perfect.
But between my hearing
and your mumbling --
>> I'm sorry.
>> Judge Judy: I'm trying
to make a story that I believe.
You see, you have two --
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: You really have
two strikes against you: A,
what you're telling me is a lie
right now,
and B, you're muttering,
so the -- you hope
that maybe I don't hear it.
Now, it's my problem
that my hearing is a little off.
>> No.
It's just --
>> Judge Judy: So
then, let's start again.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: Stand up
straight so -- because,
if you stand up straight,
you -- it's hard to mutter.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: While you were
together, she used her money
to buy this car.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: How much
of her money
did she use to buy the car?
>> She used $2,100
of her money --
And was paid back.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Didn't ask you anything else.
Stand up.
Twenty-one hundred dollars
of her own money.
And the car was how much?
>> Twenty-one hundred dollars.
>> Judge Judy: Twenty-one
hundred dollars.
And you went
to register the car.
>> Yeah.
I paid for everything.
>> Judge Judy: Yeah, I -- Okay.
Just a second.
You bought the car on what date?
>> I can't recall.
>> Judge Judy: What date?
>> I don't --
>> Judge Judy: Month and year?
>> Um, I would say
I don't remember.
>> Judge Judy: Month and year?
>> 2015 the year.
But I don't remember the month.
>> April.
>> I think it -- April.
>> Judge Judy: Let's try again.
>> Crystal, look
at your paper right there
with the bill of sale.
Says right there.
I'm sorry.
>> April 18 of 2015.
>> Judge Judy: April 18th.
Thank you.
Perfect.
Now, when did
the two of you break up?
>> Approximately five months
ago.
>> Judge Judy: What date
did you break up?
>> I don't know exactly the
date.
>> Judge Judy: Month?
>> July.
>> June 9.
>> Judge Judy: What?
>> What do I say?
>> July.
>> Judge Judy: Could you stand
up, please?
Tell me who are and --
>> I am Brittany Garcia.
I am Carlos Nevarez's kids'
mother.
>> Judge Judy: You are whose
mother?
>> Carlos Nevarez, which is
his brother, his...
>> Judge Judy: Is that you?
>> ...witness.
I'm his kids' mother.
>> Judge Judy: You're his
child's mother?
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Because what
I thought I heard you say was,
"I'm his mother."
I looked. And I said --
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: "I'll have
whatever she's having."
So you and this young
man have a child together.
>> Kids, yes.
>> Judge Judy: Great.
Now, but at least
you're good at dates.
So they broke up when?
>> In July.
>> Judge Judy: Does that sound
right?
>> I'm almost positive
we were together longer
than that because of a few --
>> Judge Judy: Well, you said
five months ago.
>> Yeah.
I don't know exac--
I couldn't tell you.
But it's been over a few months
since she has even
came at me about this car.
>> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
Put your hand down.
Now, you started to tell me
that she paid for the car.
And I asked you a question,
which you didn't answer.
Did you go to Motor Vehicles
to register the car?
That requires
a "yes" or a "no."
>> Yes, I did.
>> Judge Judy: Was she with you
at the time?
>> Yes, she was.
>> Judge Judy: And you put
the car in your name?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Not in
both your names
but just your name?
>> No.
It is in both of our names
because she
was my girlfriend at the time.
>> Judge Judy: Oh.
Hold on.
I'm just gonna make sure.
You're listed here
as a lienholder.
>> I am the primary holder
of that title.
I do everything for that car.
[ Laughter ]
She doesn't -- Okay.
It's funny.
But all the receipts -- I got
over $500 in receipts.
And she hasn't done a thing
for it, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
We're not talking about a pet.
>> Yeah. You're right.
We're talking about a vehicle.
>> Judge Judy: Hey.
>> Yeah, we are.
>> Judge Judy: You see -- Look
at what you have.
How many of these do you have?
>> Two.
