Until chainsaw do us part...

Just be glad there weren't children involved:

BERLIN: A disgruntled divorcee decided to speed up the property settlement by taking a chainsaw to the marital home before making off with his half in a pick-up truck.

Police in the eastern town of Sonneberg said the man, a trained mason, measured up the single-storey summer house - which was 8m long and 6m 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.
