    Snopes says yeah it’s legit no caveats.

    “This isn’t about toys. It’s about control,” Family Court Judge Gerald Hardcastle told the couple. “Because you folks can’t solve it, it takes the services of a District Court judge, a bailiff and a court reporter.” There was snickering among the five or six people in the gallery.

    Jesus even atthe time the judge thought it was rediculous.

      Imagine being the judge.

      Spend 4 years and a few hundred grand getting law degree.

      Spend 10 years practicing law, late nights, burning midnight oil.

      Spend more years and money garnering support to be appointed/elected as judge.

      Be appointed as judge.

      Preside over 2 petulant children who can’t even divide stuffed toys amicably.
