Farmer cuts property in two to give to ex-wife
 

You want half? I will give you half...

BELGRADE (Reuters) - A Serb farmer used a grinding machine to cut in half his farm tools and machines to comply with a court ruling that he must share all his property with his ex-wife, local media reported on Thursday.

Branko Zivkov, 76, told Belgrade daily Kurir he had been ready to give his wife Vukadinka her equal share of everything earned during their 45-year marriage, but was furious at being asked to give away half his farming equipment.

Instead, he bought a grinder and cut in two all his tools, including large items such as cattle scales, a harrow and a sowing machine.

"I still haven't decided how to split the cow," he told the newspaper. "She should just say what she wants -- the part with the horns or the part with the tail."

mad props for that guy

Oh yeah!!! That guy is a real genius. WTG!!! umm dude he now owns the other unusable half but boy did he who her.

:helpme

Gotta admire a man who's that passionately attached to his farm equipment.

its not about the stuff dude.. hes just making a point, and he made definitely made it now didnt he??

That's awesome.

At his age, I dont think that he cares much about the tools not working any more.

I just read yesterday..

I would've done the same
now wqnder nobody gets married any more (especially in countries where there are no prenups)

ouch 45yr marriage divorce? but still a funny guy

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

War of the Roses, Belgrade style!

It reminds me of my uncle Sal who, after cutting of his nose, said "There face, take that"

Genious, everyone do that, then maybe they'd change the laws. If you are married with no kids, no way the wife should get half.

I used to know a guy who did something like this. When his wife filed for divorce he lost it and cut all their furniture in half; took his half pieces out of the house and walked.

Good shit. Tell the judge to fuck off.

Reminder to self: It is conceivable to accidently go broke before divorce.

Also, why do courts assume that he'd have earned half the income if he had stayed single? Isn't that contrary to reality (ie: dating then being married costs more money than being single?)

Lol, his wife will probably sue him because of that and win even more money..

:(

this story is really something...he is a genius...like him...hehehe

He should split that cow length-wise in half. THen everyone wins!

HAHA that is fucking great!

lol that is too funny

Things are way out of date in that regard. Women work for a living now and raising the kids is something both parents do, so giving a woman half of the mans business, if she was not involved in the business just should not happen anymore. Women are self sustainable in this day and age but divorce laws treat them like we are still in the 50's.

Funny to read about it but not funny to be him or her :)

A little equity would be nice instead of relying on some old premise.. always question the premise is my motto.

Some comedian once said regarding divorce and dating that he's now looking for a woman who hates him and buying her a house to save time. lol

That is what I call a SALOMONIC DECISION :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Hope he doesn't need to cut the cow in 2.

damn thats pretty hardcore

Little tip for those who know they're probably about to go through a messy divorce:

Go to vegas. Better yet, go often.

Gamble, a lot. Buy things to prove you were gambling during these days. Stay at a nice hotel.

Bring a large chunk of money, then get a lot more when you're there. Max out your credit cards. Go into as much debt as you can.

Stash the majority of the money in a safe deposit box.

Get home, tell your wife how unlucky you were, but that you've had a lot of time to think and... that you're ready to sign the papers. :)

lmao! That's great!

i'd rather have nothing than see some cunt take me for half of everything i ever worked for...

lol thats how they do it , smart man

Haha nice. I read something similar a few years back where a heavy equipment operator actually cut his house in half when he got the divorce papers.

that dude is my hero.

SAVED! :thumbsup
