Ep 6. Preston vs. Council

Preston vs. Council is the sixth episode of the twenty-first season of Divorce Court. In this episode, Judge Faith Jenkins presides over the case between Stephon Preston and Keontae Council, who are seeking a divorce after five years of marriage.

Stephon, the plaintiff in the case, is a 29-year-old construction worker who claims that his wife, Keontae, 25, has cheated on him multiple times during their marriage. He also claims that Keontae has been verbally abusive towards him, and that she has refused to work or contribute to their household expenses. Stephon is seeking a divorce and wants custody of their two children, as he believes he is the more stable and responsible parent.

Keontae, the defendant in the case, is a stay-at-home mom who denies the allegations of infidelity and verbal abuse. She claims that Stephon has been emotionally distant and neglectful, and that he has not been involved in the children's lives as much as he should be. Keontae is seeking joint custody of the children, and alimony to support her and the children after the divorce.

As the case unfolds, Judge Faith listens to testimony from both parties, as well as from witnesses and experts. She tries to get to the truth of the matter and determine what would be in the best interests of the children. The case is a complex one, with accusations of cheating and abuse on one side, and neglect and emotional distance on the other.

Throughout the episode, Judge Faith offers guidance and advice to both parties, as well as tough love when necessary. She tries to steer the couple towards a resolution that will be beneficial for everyone involved, particularly the children. At times, she becomes frustrated with the couple's inability to communicate and work together, but she remains professional and impartial throughout.

The episode is an emotional one, with both parties clearly hurt and angry at each other. There are moments of tension and conflict, but there are also moments of vulnerability and honesty. Judge Faith does her best to mediate between the two parties and find a way forward that will be healthy and productive.

In the end, Judge Faith makes a ruling that will have a profound impact on the lives of Stephon and Keontae, as well as their children. The decision is a fair and just one, taking into account all of the evidence and the unique circumstances of the case. The episode offers a powerful reminder of the importance of communication, honesty, and compassion in any relationship, and the devastating consequences that can result from their absence.
