Remember that episode of Happy Days where Ralph and Potsie were mad at each other and split up their apartment? One got the cooking, the other got the bathroom. With true life being stranger than fiction, check out the following divorce and the house that neither spouse wanted to leave.

Neither one wanted to move out of their beloved Brooklyn house, and so, in one of the strangest divorce battles the city has ever seen, a white drywall partition was erected a few weeks ago on orders from a judge.

As you read more into the couple’s problems in the article, things get stranger. Take the wife’s allegation that the husband bugged their phones. If she’s worried about surveillance from this guy why does she want to live right next to him? Literally, sharing a wall?

I don’t understand loving any house this much, but I’ve seen all sorts of divorces end up positively for both parties. Several couples who divorced we know get along better than when they were married. The non-humorous part of this is the children have been separated by drywall too:

One of the couple’s children is staying with Dad; three others are staying with Mom.

“Have you talked to your dad, lately?”
“Yeah, I just drilled a hole in the wall and said hello!”

Sure hope the couple’s bedrooms aren’t butted up against the wall.
