Lauren Lake's Paternity Court (originally known as Paternity Court) is a nontraditional court show in which family lawyer and legal analyst Lauren Lake heard and ruled on paternity cases and rendered DNA test results.

The show was produced by 79th & York Entertainment and Orion Television, and was distributed by MGM Domestic Television Distribution. Paternity Court was executive produced by David Armour, and directed by Stacie Saugen. The series was MGM's first first-run syndication series to come to the market after a lull period in this arena.

Paternity Court premiered on Monday, September 23, 2013. The court show's first day of taping was on June 13, 2013. By the 2nd season, Lake's name was added to the title of the series, Lauren Lake's Paternity Court. Production also moved from Los Angeles to the Georgia Public Broadcasting studios in Atlanta that season.

In 2019 following its 6th season, the show received a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program. After its 7th season in early 2020, however, Lauren Lake's Paternity Court ended production, confirmed as cancelled by 2021. MGM discarded of all of its courtroom programming following financial struggles from the COVID-19 pandemic and new owner Amazon's disinterest in broadcast syndication.
