Gambling Over Paternity

The plaintiff dated the defendant, and the two have a child together. The plaintiff says he gained full custody of their child after the defendant left their son in her car while she went to a casino to gamble. He’s suing for day care expenses and emotional distress, and he also petitioned for a paternity test. The defendant admits to leaving her son alone in the car. She claims the plaintiff assaulted her and she hasn’t seen her son in several months, so she’s countersuing for emotional distress.
