Here's one way to "divide" marital property from Reuters...
BERLIN - A 43-year-old German decided to settle his imminent divorce by chain sawing 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-story summer house — which was some 8 meters (26 feet) long and 6 meters wide — before chain sawing 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."
I've had a couple of nasty cases I've been involved with lately sort of similar to the above. I think my mind has been changed a bit from thinking that parties in a divorce generally put their self-interest above all else. Often I see that hurting the opposing party comes even before one's self-interest.
