In the crowded City Square, Filthy Rich stood before a makeshift dais, and on it sat five alicorns, a draconequus, a unicorn king, a changeling king & queen. Nearby sat a jury and on one side sat his family. The music ponies who were now free that once were being rented sat by Filthy's family. Storm King sat at the top of the dais with Songbird Serenade at his right hand. 
"Filthy Rich! I have before me the records of your business transactions renting the music ponies and I hear you were doing things I can't mention because of the young ears in the crowd. What I don't get is why you put on these papers you were single or divorced? From this point, Celestia and company will lead this trial."
"Filthy Rich! We're you having multiple affairs?" Spoiled Rich yelled at her husband.
"Those are just papers, why would I cheat on you?" Diamond Tiara looked behind her at her classmates, a small pegasus named Featherweight hoofed over to her a folder.
"Thanks, Featherweight here's the forty bits I promised." The pegasus nodded and sat down. Filthy was no fool he brought his lawyers with him and Spoiled then felt a need to have a lawyer but she didn't have one...........so Pinkie Pie filled that role. 
The Music ponies presented their accusations and it was appalling what Filthy Rich did to them. Vinyl and Bon Bon screamed that Filthy be executed. 
Celestia spoke in her Royal Canterlot, "Filthy Rich, you full well know Storm King new laws concerning marriage and infidelity they've been posted on the papers. What have you to say for yourself?"
"The evidence is circumstantial at best, you have no proof that I did anything.............now if we're done here I'll be leaving."
"Dad! I have the evidence right here under my hood...........confess now and I won't be forced to open this folder which contains some disgusting photos of them which my associate from the Foal Free Press has gathered. Albeit I have after seeing the photos need to triple his pay."
"I have nothing to hide, now be a good girl and slide the folder over."
"Only after mother has seen them." Spoiled Rich saw the photos and felt sick that two young children had seen the contents. 
"I want to file a divorce! You sick prevented bastard how could you go for a younger mare? When did I quit being enough for you? I know I'm not as slim as I used to be after birthing Diamond Tiara but I've tried. I am being the best homemaker I can and raise our daughter right and your not there enough! Is this why your business trips became more frequent? Our vows, do they mean nothing?"
"Listen here mare! You can't say shit, explain why you've been to Sweet Apple Acres so often? I know not the whole time the female folk hasn't been there."
"Listen here Filthy Rich," a massive red earth pony said as he stormed up, "your wife has been dealing in the business with us that you should've done! She has asked for advice because she thought you were having an affair but had no proof."
"Big Mac stay out of this! How do I know that you and she aren't sleeping together?"
"I got Sugar Belle and I don't need another mare! Right now I wouldn't blame her for ditching ya." Big Mac turned and stormed off he was done. 
Filthy Rich turned to his wife and told her, "Divorce me if you like but everything is in my name I doubt you can take custody of Diamond Tiara."
Pinkie Pie finally got to speak and stated (in a manner that made Twilight's eyes water and Tempest pulled her closer). "In Section 908 sub-section 908.6 paragraph four in sentence three it states: 'Any spouse caught in adultery would have their assets ceased and given to the faithful party once evidence is proven for the said act of adultery'. I say we have evidence in plenty just in the documents you signed for the musicians and the photos for more evidence let's have the musicians talk." Filthy Rich stood speechless as the musicians fave testimony, he knew he was done for. He hoped they hadn't found out about his offshore accounts but Pinkie had found the records for them and held them back as an 'Ace' to play if necessary. 
As Filthy lost his possessions he looked smug. Pinkie Pie pulled her 'Ace' and presented it. In complete ruin now he felt useless. At least he was business savvy enough to build back up. The royals took turns pronouncing his sentence for his life. It entailed tons of community service and two minimum wage jobs. When it got to Chrysalis she was the harshest. "Filthy Rich, for your crimes against the family unit I hereby command Starlight Glimmer to remove your cutie mark show wealth to reduce it a cutie mark of flipping hay burgers. To make your work life a little easier I'll have you turned into a unicorn with enough power to do menial jobs." The act was done and Filthy Rich walked out of City Square humiliated. Diamond Tiara glared as her dad walked past her, how could he do that to her mother? She wasn't perfect she knew but why risk losing a daughter and wife for a younger mare? She was fuming mad. With permission from her mother, she went to find the CMC and chill with them for the day while her mother hung out with the Apple family (the notion of that was pretty odd in her imagination).
