Young men who posted their acts of vandalism online find themselves being sued for damages; a man accuses his travel partners of putting gasoline in a diesel engine, ruining it.
A blended family fights over bills, childcare and damaged property; divorced parents feud over their daughter's college tuition and an apartment lease; a family sue their former attorney for the return of his retainer fee.
Judge Judy lays down the law when a defendant cops an attitude; a woman says she rescued another woman from a bad relationship, then kicked her out after finding drugs in her room.
