Very good short story. 5โญ

Almost never, the children and their wishes are never taken into account in the stories by the authorities.

Is this the reality in your country?

Here, the children are consulted for their choice of the custodial parent.

After all, if a divorce is to be made with decisions in the best interest of the children, you might as well listen to their wishes, right?

Terrific punchline!

Rw43Rw43about 1 year ago

Great story!

<>

I only have one quibble: individuals who have not practiced punching others would be better off using an open hand and slapping instead. Not only is it more insulting to the recipient, but the striker--"Jennifer""--would be much less likely to injure her hand or wrist.

<>

But hey! If she goes to school with her wrist wrapped from punching out her mom, she'll probably get to tell her story multiple times! That sounds like it might be worth it!

I, too, felt a lot better after reading the story. 5*

Funnier than hell! Just doing what the Judge told her to do.

That I like. Wonder if the judge will order the mother to have custody now.

One interesting aspect comes to mind regarding Jennifer's "permission".

At the time, in the words of the Judge herself at the time, she was not advising as an authority figure, but as a woman, mother, and grand-mother. Her advice resulting in a criminal assault .... openly, in court?

How would such a situation develop? Would the judge be required to hold her own woman/mother/grand-mother self accountable for inciting a minor to commit assault?

Nice one Mr. The Style Guy.

excellent but true..Judges truly believe that men are not suitable parents

LenardSpencerLenardSpencerabout 1 year ago

mmm. Yes, I chuckled. But committing assault in a Courtroom is not the answer to some stupid, pedantic Judge. Now the daughter will have a record!

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

Nice, did not see that coming. Good build up and twist! 5 stars.

nixroxnixroxabout 1 year ago

5 stars - it is just sad that most people (especially on this website) feel that the USA judicial system is broken and useless. However, having said that - what is the alternative? I could make a number of suggestions, BUT (thankfully) I am not a USA citizen and never will be.

I only stop there for fuel - I would never choose to live there, nor even visit for any reason - it is just too violent.

Cracker270Cracker270about 1 year ago

Short, quick, thoughtful and very entertaining.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

Hilarious. IRL, women should not be judges. That rule is far more important than the very occasional exception.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

I love the authors choice for the ending. I thought Jen was going to blow a big wad of phlegm into her mom's face. Either was acceptable.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

I needed that chuckle. Thankyou.

5 does not do justice to this story. If only it had been the judge?

Bet the Judge don't do that again. Talk about a get out jail free card. The Judge told too.

I don't often smash the 5 star button, but I hit that one as hard as Jennifer smashed her mom.

Easy 5 โญ. Thanks for the share, author.

MaximusTheMadMaximusTheMadabout 1 year ago

Dumb. First off, most courts will allow the child to decide once the reach the age or 14 who they are going to live with... anyways, who cares because in your world the girl goes to juvie and the mom gets custody anyway! Yay!

C_frommnC_frommnabout 1 year ago

WOW! wasn't expecting that, But what a way to show her contempt.

LickideesplitLickideesplitabout 1 year ago

I was thinking spitting (not putting Mamie on a spit!) My main quibbles with socking are that; a) 16 y.o. (unless coached) would not think to emphasize the judgeโ€™s directive; b) unless Jenn has worked on boxing, she is likely to hurt her hand, or miss her target; c) pre-considering that she might get the opportunity to do this thing few young females see as their fighting options is just plain remote!

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

Yeah, she deserved it, I guess. Just one question though. How does a right handed person strike someone facing them and move said face to the left?

Bizarro World perspective I suppose.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

That is the best courtroom scene I can ever remember reading!

Judges are usually liberal and many times try to project they are smarter than everyone else.

Oh, short, sweet and to the point. Loved it! 5*s.

Thank you, this one made my day!!!!!

MountainMan1336MountainMan1336about 1 year ago

I really enjoyed that ending, I gave it 5 stars. I laughed like hell when I finished. Very well written, when I read the judge's dialog all I could picture in my mind's eye was that female judge on television: Judge Judy. Damn I hate her and her smug attitude.

Your point about courts allowing kids 14 and over to pick the parent to live with is good. The problem is family court judges are at the bottom of list when it comes to capability. So they get hidden in familiy courts.

Unlike criminal courts where the judge gets more scrutiny with the appeals process, family courts are understood to be more flexible. So while criminal courts tend to follow the law, family court judges believe they are the law. Agreements and prenups can be set aside if the judge "feels" they do not meet up to their sense of fairness. Hence why their judgements tend be nonsensical. No standards.

It's a shame the judicial system gives judges godlike powers that mess up many lives to a group of incompetents.

Pathetic male fantasy.

AnonymousAnonymousabout 1 year ago

I don't see the plot fault here. If the judge tries any sort of retribution the judge is going to have to explain and justify how she went from being an impartial judge to becoming the whore's advocate. That's the lawyers job. Of course at 16 she can decide for herself anyway, seeking emancipation if she has to.

Finally, nice shot. Thanks for the effort.
