Judge Orders Wall Built To Separate Spouses

POSTED: 2:09 pm MST January 19, 2007


NEW YORK -- A divorce battle playing out in New York City has turned a Brooklyn home into something out of the Cold War.

Chana and Simon Taub can't agree on which of them should move out of their house. So they're both living there -- separated by a wall.

The white drywall partition was put up a few weeks ago, on orders from a judge. It divides the living room from the staircase on the bottom floor of the three-story house.

She gets the top floor, where the bedrooms are, along with the kitchen on the second floor. He gets the living room on the first floor and the dining room on the second floor.

So that they don't run into each other on the second floor, the door between the dining room and the kitchen is barricaded on both sides.

One of their children is staying with Dad. Three others are staying with Mom.

Come on!

Just split the money in half 50:50. Sell the house 50:50 again and then the husband gets a new house and so does the wife.

Split your time with the kids or let the kids choose who they prefer to be with.

Another fine example of problem solving in the United State's judicial system.

If I didnt want to be married to someone,I sure as hell

Here's a longer article.

Apparently it's not uncommon for couples to continue living together after divorce, but this is the first case to involve an actual wall.

I just feel bad for the kids!!! They are making it so they can't "see" each other, yet they live in the same house!!!

I'm sure understanding that mommy and daddy hate each other is a hellofa lot easier when they are living in the same house...
