The judge had the power to let the parties “resolve our disputes on the field of battle, legally," David Ostrom said, adding in his filing that trial by combat "has never been explicitly banned or restricted as a right in these United States."

He also asked the judge for 12 weeks' time so he could secure Japanese samurai swords.

No matter the outcome, he’s still going to get cut in half.

I admire his most but not the nest way to look stable in a custody fight.

Well he either was going for that or the appearance of being insane. If he truly wanted custody, it looks like he just gave her full custody with that sort of statement.

This is the very definition of a man who is at the end of his rope.

A long time ago that’s all that was needed in order to be considered a good husband and father.
