Rather than risk losing his home in an imminent divorce, a man in Sonneberg, Germany took the term "division of property" quite literally when he took a chain saw and cut his one story house in half. Not one to be called messy, he neatly picked up his half and carted it away on a forklift truck.

I've heard stories, but this one tops them. The troubles of a married couple have led to building a wall smack down the middle of their house after two years of a bitter separation. The man was responsible for erecting the partition, but neither is willing to move out of the spacious "million dollar" home in Brooklyn ... even though they own a second home two doors down.

A Wisconsin Jury has found John Brayshaw, the states 3rd most notorious deadbeat dad, guilty of evading over $260,000.00 in support payments. He faces up to 66 years in jail after being convicted of 18 felony counts after abandoning his family 10 years ago when he sailed his boat down the Mississippi.

Are they? I know a divorced couple that lives in New York.

But if your husband ended up leaving you for another man, would you embrace it as well as my anomynous friend has? Newsweek has more to say
Who get's the pets? Unfortunately, the fact we love our little companions so much can be a bad thing when it comes to divorce. And the reality is, they grow attached to us too. After a sincere plea that he was devastated because he had developed such a close relationship with his wife's dog, a court in Spain granted a man visitation rights to the much adored pup.
