A Kansas man has requested an unusual method of mediation in a divorce dispute—he wants to be allowed to challenge his wife to a trial by combat.

Ostrom's motion also mentions a 2016 case in which a New York State Supreme Court judge agreed with a petition from a lawyer that the right to trial by combat was never specifically stripped from the populace.

Judge Craig Dreismeier filed a response on Monday, stating that he was not prepared to address the motions on either side until procedural errors were corrected. "Until the proper procedural steps to initiate a court proceeding are followed, this court will take no further action concerning any motion, objection or petition filed by either party at this time," he wrote.

Dreismeier's response is not a rejection of Ostrom's proposal and it was unclear what steps needed to be followed for the case to proceed.

The Guy Is Totally Mentally ill !!!!

And what if she has The Mountain fight in her place?

Lmfao GOLD

That’s domestic violence right?!

🧐😎🤠👍😺😇

In duelling, which I'm unfamiliar with the legal technicalities, can you suggest any potentially death causing weapons, like howitzers? And they have to cause death, so you couldn't suggest feather dusters I assume?

This is hopefully the ex wife right about now

Stop reading The Onion if you don't get the jokes.

Uh, Han to hand, probably not he’ll need an advantage.

🙄

The Conways?

As long as she gets the gun

Thus, ex-wife.

If I was the Judge:

Mortal combat 𝖈𝖔𝖒𝖒𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖆𝖙𝖔𝖗: One ..Fight.. finish her

Is she allowed to choose her champion?

When you watch too much game of thrones....

I can't imagine why the marriage with this nut job didn't work out... I think the judge should request he gets mentally evaluated instead.

Why not? It’s 2020

Picture of the man
