NORTH DAKOTA WOMAN CHARGED AFTER SELLING TICKETS TO HER OWN DIVORCE HEARING ON FACEBOOK FOR $12 EACH INCLUDING "SNACKS"
NORTH DAKOTA WOMAN CHARGED AFTER SELLING TICKETS TO HER OWN DIVORCE HEARING ON FACEBOOK FOR $12 EACH INCLUDING "SNACKS" She didn't grieve the marriage. She monetized it. FARGO, ND — When Madelyn Rae Halverson, 36, found out her husband of 11 years had been cheating with her cousin Brittany, she didn't cry. She didn't text her group chat. She opened Facebook Marketplace and listed something nobody saw coming. Tickets. To her own divorce hearing. $12 each. Snacks included. By the time the bailiff opened the courtroom doors at 9 a.m., 47 strangers were already in line holding printed PDFs and zip-loc bags of trail mix. What unfolded inside is now spreading across every group chat in Fargo: - The Facebook listing was titled "THE GREATEST SHOW IN CASS COUNTY, BYO TISSUES" - It included a full description, a bullet-point list of "drama highlights to expect," and a disclaimer that read "no refunds, no exceptions, the snack bag is final" - Halverson personally handed out individual Ziploc bags labeled "DIVORCE SNACK PACK" containing pretzels, two Hershey Kisses, and a single tea bag "for after" - A printed program listed her soon-to-be-ex-husband Wade's affair timeline, his salary, and his bench press max for context - She sold an additional 22 tickets the morning of for a $5 upcharge labeled "WALK-IN PETTINESS FEE" A juror, identified only as Cheryl from the back row, told reporters "I have never seen a woman make $828 before 10 a.m. on a Tuesday in my entire life." Sergeant Doyle Kringstad, a 26-year veteran of the Cass County Sheriff's Office, addressed reporters at the scene. "In twenty-six years I have processed divorces, custody disputes, and one ex-wife who showed up dressed as a referee. This is the first time I have logged a snack pack as Exhibit B. I am going home." She didn't lose the marriage. She turned it into a ticketed event with concessions and walked out with a receipt.
