Splitting Assets in Half (Literally)!

So, you think your own divorce or someone you knows’ divorce was wacky, crazy, bizarre, off the wall… ?

How about this separating couple in rural Cambodia…!!!!

Their divorce literally gave new meaning to dividing ALL marital assets down the middle……….

 

half house

Back in 2008, a couple in a rural Cambodian village decided to separate after 18 years of marriage!

The husband feared the wife was having an affair and became deeply enraged;  Apparently splitting up and dividing assets monetarily was not enough. He went so far that he decided to provide a physical representation of their split.

The separating husband, together with some of his family members, showed up with some saws and literally sawed the house in half! The husband’s half was carted away piece by piece, while the half they remains standing in the picture, went to the wife.

It should be noted that the angry hubby’s share of the house was pretty much uninhabitable.

 

If that wasn’t enough, how about the antics of a German man who took the phrase “splitting up” to new height!

This disgruntled hubby took to using power tools to divide such items as a couch, bed, tv, phone, teddy bear and even the family mailbox right down the middle.

Oh, and by the way, he even posted a memento of the occasion for all the world to see on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shMzEExRzf4

 

Translated from German, the man was quoted as saying……..

Thank you for 12 beautiful years, Laura!! You’ve really earned half!! Greetings also to my successor!!
