The unusual request stemmed from his feelings of frustration with his ex-wife’s lawyer Matthew Hudson.
Ostrom filed a court suit asking a judge for a duel by sword with his former wife, 38-year-old Bridgette Ostrom or someone she elects to fight as her champion.He told the Des Moines Register that he was inspired by a case in 2016 when New York Supreme Court Justice Philip Minardo admitted that duels had not been abolished.

He is also asking the judge to rule for a 12 weeks time to allow him to find or make Japanese samurai swords as he does not have the swords yet.
Ostrom who is from Paola in Kansas said he wanted to settle things ‘on the field of battle where will rend their souls from their corporal bodies’.“Surely meant ‘corporeal’ bodies which Merriam Webster defines as having, consisting of, or relating to, a physical material body. ‘Although and potential combatant do have souls to be rended, they respectfully request that the court not order this done.
