At Least They Didn't Split the Baby!

For a summer during law school I worked for the Dark Side - the local prosecuting attorney's office. One of the odder bits of law we got to research was what charges, if any, could be brought against an estranged husband for bulldozing half of the marital home. I can't remember what the answer was. But I thought about that when saw this story on the BBC's website:

An estranged couple in Cambodia have sawed their house in half to avoid the country's convoluted divorce process.

Moeun Rim and his wife, Nhanh, who have been married nearly 40 years, split the building last week following an argument, local officials said.
According to the caption on the picture of the split home, Mr. Rim has moved his half of the home to an "undisclosed location." Apparently he's moved in with Dick Cheney!
