Probably someone has answered you already about JP's children. But this is what I gather from reading on courttv, from a poster who seems to know what s/he is talking about.

Jackie (Latham) had 2 children out of wedlock before the age of 19, gave them both up, one a boy, one a girl. The boy is apparently the one in PA who sometime ago made contact with her. The girl's status is unknown to the poster on court, I believe, though I wonder if it isn't the one named Susan who does look like Scaught, therefore is more likely Jackie's child--but I could be all wrong about that one.

Then on top of that, Jackie met Lee P who was a married man at the time, she became pregnant a third time, he divorced his own pregnant wife to marry Jackie. Lee and Jackie marry, have John the child she was pg with when they married (I'm thinking John is the one who looks like Scaught and probably the owner of the passport). Then Scott is born after that. Lee had 3 other children with his first wife, before the divorce, since there are supposedly 7 children between Lee & Jackie.

I think this covers what was stated on courttv. And a little editorial comment here from me, though I know it's not pc to be judgmental--but somebody was watching too many soaps...one mistake I can understand, but 3?

Hope I got it all straight, I hate to pass on bad info!

What a family......thanks for the info. I don't get CourtTV. Your comment about understanding ONE but not multiples is my own oft-repeated statement. (It's non of our business, but I have also wondered about the first Mrs. Peterson and how she's doing now that she's rid of Mr. Peterson.)

Thanks for all the information, bluebell!

Jackie met Lee P who was a married man at the time, she became pregnant, he divorced his own pregnant wife to marry Jackie.

If true, I think that is almost eerily similar to some of what has gone on in Scott's life. The cheating on the pregnant wife, for example.

If even half of that stuff is true, there must have been some messy arguments with exes. Scott would have seen some of it. This might have made him absolutely determined never to go through a divorce.
