(37,648 posts)Civil cases involve money, so it's often relevant. At least in her opinion, and she's the Judge. Some man borrows money from a former gf with kids, and doesn't pay it back. She'll ask if he's working, what income he makes (to know why he needed to borrow money from a working mother, and does he have money to pay the loan back). If he's not working, she gets into where he gets his money from. Someone is paying for his living expenses.
There are also people who loan money to others from their college aid checks that are supposed to be for their education, etc. Then the people sue to get that money back from those who don't pay the loan back. JJ gets into where the person (who has no job) got the money from to loan. She gets angry if it's from college aid, since that is government money intended for the use of education.
Even non-tv civil suits get into a person's job, income, and such.
