House in Which 2 Spouses Lived for 4 Years, Separated by Sheetrock Wall, Will Be Sold, Judge Rules
A dividing wall made of Sheetrock that was put up in 2007 with court approval in Simon and Chana Taub’s shared house presumably will not be a value-enhancing plus factor.
But a New York judge has found another way to split the couple’s abode, ending a six-year divorce battle between the sweater mogul and his stay-at-home wife, reports the New York Daily News: He’s ordered them to sell it and share the profits.
Both are reportedly living in the house right now, on either side of the dividing wall, and Chana Taub is not pleased about having to move, the newspaper reports. She says she plans to appeal the property division, which also gives her $1.5 million plus $6,000 per month but allows him to retain ownership of three other buildings.
Simon Taub, however, “was very happy with the decision,” says his attorney, Abe Konstam. “I hope it ends the litigation of Taub vs. Taub.”
