There is no sex in this story. This is a work of pure fiction. It isn't real.
I am not a lawyer, and I am sure that there are a lot of legal mistakes in here. If you are one of those legal eagles that enjoy pointing out legal mistakes, fuck off. Yes, there are undoubtedly parts that require the temporary suspension of belief. Chill out and just enjoy the story.
I despise the divorce laws in this country. The man always gets screwed regardless. I just wanted to write something where the faithful husband stood up for himself and told the court to FUCK OFF!
"I am awarding Wanda Nielson use of the house until the children graduate from high school. Mr. Nielson will continue to make all mortgage and utility payments on the house. She will also receive half the value of the business her husband owns. Ms. Nielson will keep her vehicle, and Mr. Nielson will continue the payments for said vehicle. I am also awarding Mrs. Nielson 60% of all assets, including all bank accounts, investments, and retirement accounts.
"Furthermore, I am awarding primary custody of the children to Mrs. Nielson. Visitation will follow the standard protocols of Mr. Nielson having two consecutive weeks during the summer and every other weekend. Child support will be $750 per month, per child, for a total of $1,500 per month. Since Mrs. Nielson has not worked outside of the home for the last 5-years, I am also adding maintenance for Mrs. Nielson in the amount of $2,000 per month. The divorce will be final in 90-days unless Mr. Nielson revokes the petition."
With that, the 'Honorable' Judge Marie Matthews banged her gavel to end the proceedings. She was just beginning to stand when I uttered the single word that led to changes that would dominate the next several months of my life.
"NO!"
Judge Matthews froze in mid stance. Her head swiveled so fast to look at me that I'm surprised her neck didn't snap off. She had a look of disbelief on her face that was quite startling. It was as if she simply couldn't believe that someone had the audacity to state that word in her presence. Slowly, she reversed her movements and came back to rest in her chair. As she was moving, her features changed from shock to abject fury. Once she had regained her former position, the frosty glare she aimed at me would easily have frozen water on the surface of the sun. To say that she was pissed would be a massive understatement.
"Excuse me?" She challenged.
"I'm not sure what is difficult to understand. Are confused with the 'N' or the 'O'? If that word is so difficult for you to understand, I would gladly give you a definition of it." I replied. I'm not stupid; I know full well what is about to happen. The thing is, I really don't care. I had actually planned for this. The next few minutes were going to be extremely enjoyable for me.
"I will give you one minute to apologize, or I will cite you for Contempt of Court."
"Well, at least you will have given one correct ruling today, then. I have nothing but contempt for this railroad you are running here." I spoke. My lawyer was whispering harshly in my ear as he began fumbling through his briefcase. I wondered if he was searching for something to gag me with.
"In that case, let's see how much contempt you have after spending 30-days in jail." She sneered as she banged her gavel again.
"Wow. I didn't realize that we had been transported to Australia. We must have been though, because of all the kangaroos in here." My lawyer was really becoming distracting as he was almost yelling at me to shut up and trying to put his hand over my mouth.
"60-days! Care to try for more?"
"You know, your dishonor, I truly believe that if you got laid every once in a while, you wouldn't be such a bitch. That being said, why don't you take this," I held up my right hand with the middle finger extended. "and shove it up your dried-up cunt, while this," extending my left hand similarly to my right, "goes up your constipated asshole. Then you can ride them to an orgasm that might actually make you less of the man-hating psychotic cunt you are. The way I see it, you are in more dire need of a cock than any woman in history."
HO. LEE. FUK. I really thought that someone would be calling 911 about that time. I figure one of two things were about to happen; either she was about to have a stroke, or her head was going to explode. I was actually surprised that the smoke coming out of her ears wasn't visible. I didn't think that it was even possible for someone's face to turn that shade of red. Death rays were being shot into me from her eyes. Yes, Virginia, she was P.I.S.S.E.D!!!!!
"90-days!" I swear, her voice was actually satanic.
Fortunately for my lawyer, that's when the bailiffs took hold of me. He had such a woeful look on his face that I felt sorry for him. Everyone in the courtroom was shocked when I simply couldn't hold it in any longer and began laughing hysterically. That probably explains the visits by the psychologists I had in lock-up over the next couple of weeks. The letter from my lawyer's law firm the next day stating that they were dropping me as a client was not a surprise.
So, you are probably wondering what all that was about. Perhaps a little background is in order. My name is Michael Nielson. I'm currently 31-years old. I was born to a very nice middle-class couple in the Heartland of America. I was raised on traditional values where there was a strong sense of right and wrong. You respected those that deserved respect. You didn't cheat. When you gave your word, it meant something. Work hard, be generous with what you have, and live up to your values. 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' Of course, most people never think about the flip side to that. 'Do unto others as they have done unto you.' The Christian thing to do is to 'Turn the other cheek'. Unfortunately, I have never been good at that.
I've always had what has been described as an extreme stubborn streak. Combine that with my sense of justice....... Well, it sometimes got kind of ugly. When I made up my mind that someone had done me wrong and set a course of action to deal with it, nothing could dissuade me from my path.
There was one time in high school when I was going out with Cheryl Haskins. We had been going out for a couple of months by this time. We had an argument about something that I don't even remember what it was about. Anyway, words were said and we 'broke up'. I put that in quotes because it was kind of understood that it was only temporary, and we would apologize to each other a couple of days later and get back together. It wasn't the first time that it happened. We would just use the weekend to cool off and make-up on Monday. Unfortunately, I happened to be walking past the theater Saturday evening and saw my cousin Harold escorting Cheryl into the theater. Two things here; Harold and I were more like brothers than cousins. We were the same age and had been practically inseparable for as long as I can remember. His family lived on the same block as me, and we grew up together. Second, I knew that he also liked Cheryl.
He knew that we had broken up, but he also knew that we would probably get back together after the weekend. Buddies simply don't do that to each other. From that moment on, he was dead to me. When Cheryl tried to talk to me on Monday, I simply refused to even acknowledge her presence. At church on Sunday, Harold came up to me and tried to talk. I simply stared at him without saying a word. When he finished talking, I simply turned around and walked away. His family came over for Sunday dinner. I ignored him. He tried to play video games with me, I simply stopped playing and went to my room. Our parents tried several times to get me to talk to him, but I refused every time. Even a year later after I actually stole his girlfriend from him, I still refused to have anything to do with him. Oh, I did kick his ass when he confronted me about stealing his girlfriend, but that was it. He sent me an invitation to his wedding years later. I ignored it. When I married Wanda, every member of my extended family got an invitation -- except him.
OK, so I'm a bit of an asshole and hold a grudge. The thing is, when someone does me wrong, I don't forgive unless it was an honest mistake. What Harold and Cheryl did was done on purpose. Right now, a lot of you are thinking that I'm an asshole. If that's the case, let me piss off you snowflakes a bit more. I firmly believe that you shouldn't do the crime if you can't do the time. If you are stupid and fuck-up, you should fully suffer the consequences of your actions. If you drive drunk and get caught, expect to lose your license for a while, pay higher insurance, and perform community service or whatever else is involved. If your job depends on you driving, you lose your job. I call that a Stupid Tax. If a girl CHOSES to spread her legs without protection and ends up pregnant at 18-years old, her Stupid Tax is being called 'Mommy' for the next 18-years. If a guy CHOSES to bump bellies with his prom date and knocks her up, he should be required to man up and take care of the kid he was half responsible for creating. Choices have consequences. It's called Personal Responsibility. I refuse to have to pay for someone else's idiocy.
