BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - A 43-year-old German decided to settle his imminent divorce by chainsawing a family home in two and making off with his half in a forklift truck.  
Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said on Friday the trained mason measured the single-storey summer house -- which was some 8 meters (26 feet) long and 6 meters wide -- before chainsawing through the wooden roof and walls.

"The man said he was just taking his due," said a police spokesman. "But I don't think his wife was too pleased."

After finishing the job, the man picked up his half with the forklift truck and drove to his brother's house where he has since been staying.

I don't blame the guy, I blame the judiciary of most if not all Western countries for automatically giving half (or more) to the woman, no matter what. Guy had 100millions when he met the woman, and 102 when they split? Woman gets half; 51 millions. And the cars, and the house, and the dog the guy had for five years before meeting her, and the kids, and alimony, and child support.

The guy did the smart thing; gave her half the house, literally. I wonder if he'll also chainsaw his car? Maybe his kids, too?

I know a family that had a feud with neighbours in Newfoundland and floated their house across the bay and put it on the other side. ;D

Was it a houseboat? Or the house that isn't meant for floating?

Anyways.
Wow. That guy would've had to be pretty unhappy about the divorce to go as far as chainsawing his house is half.
Reminds me of a Simpson's or family guy episode. Or some animated funny show.
The entire front lawn is covered with things cut in half. Piano, Chair, Table, TV, some other stuff.

"You want everything? FINE!!!! I'll even be nice and take the side with the garage, and you can have the side with the kitchen and bathroom!"
