Divorcing Husband Takes Wife's Demand For Half His Assets To Extremes
Friday April 4, 2008

There are amicable marriage breakups and there are bad marriage dissolutions. And then there's the one that took place in Belgrade this week.
Branko Zivkov and his wife Vukadinka were married for 45 years before the two developed problems in their relationship and decided to part. Everything was going along fine until the 76-year-old soon-to-be ex-husband got a demand from his spouse's lawyers that drove him into a fury.
He claims he was willing to split almost everything they had 50-50, until she insisted he hand over her half of his farming equipment. So with a fury that could only come out of a love long lost, Zivkov decided to give his wife exactly what she asked for.
He went to the store, bought a grinder and spent the entire day literally cutting every tool he owned into two separates pieces so he could fulfill his wife's desire to have 'half.'
He managed to split his cattle scales, a harrow and a sowing machine in two, but paused for a moment when it came to something else of value on his farm. "I still haven't decided how to split the cow," he told a local newspaper. "She should just say what she wants -- the part with the horns or the part with the tail."
There's been no word on his wife's response.
