I could understand the reaction if his wife is the bitch he makes her out to be. It's a lot better than other actions he might have taken.

Well I suppose but my reaction is that it just makes the guy out to be petty and vindictive. Why drag yourself down to that level? It's like the kid bursting the football so that no-one can play with it.

Edit: I should say the precision of his cutting is impressive however.

Funnier that he shows what one can actually cut in half. I'd have thought the car was difficult.....he got a really cleancut

Yeah, that half car would be awesome as decoration. Looks like he is getting quite a good price for it as well, considering the fact that it is a really old car and that half of it is missing. You could buy a complete car for that price.

The descriptions of the items at e-bay are pure comedy gold.

Actually it would be taken as a statement that she is, justified or not.

This is a great FU move. As for the things sawn in half, its only some token items, and possibly thus he can part with.

It opens up a legal dilemma. The things he is selling as art is 'his half' poetically, not legally. Is she is still entitled to half the proceeds?

And no its not stupid. The items on ebay at the moment are original works of art. The half laptop for instance could go straight into an art gallery, and frankly it deserves a place in the Tate, more so than a lot of the stuff actually there. If Tracy Emin did this and called the pieces 'the divorce setlement' you know they would be worth five figure sums. This is rthe same, but 100% real.

I'd say it depends on the circumstances of the marriage. If, although not likely, she was totally at fault by being a bitch and running around on him and finally shacking up with some other guy, I applaud his approach.

You support the destruction of his own property? That seems like an "If I can't have it, she can't either!" approach.

What if he was abusive and aggressive towards her first though? Would that excuse her? It's a bit hard to pin down the truth here when you've only a hint at his side of the story.

Typically this would be destroying or devaluing / defacing the property so he would be on the hook for fair market value of half the undamaged product. Physically cutting "his half" and possibly selling it for more is putting me into analysis paralysis.

She is entitled to the half of her belongings, her life right or wrong. He is entitled to his. In the end, he will be required before a judge to ensure however the entire property is sold fair market value or full art piece sale half must be given whichever is higher.

Personally, cutting the stuff would have been a therapeutic distraction.

I agree, he could have been a total bastard that she couldn't handle anymore. That's why I said it's not likely she was the sole reason the divorce happened. That being said I think that people of the world the posters here on Dakka are, we seen divorces with all the degrees of fault on either side happen. At least I know. I have.

The guy himself makes it clear (in the video and ebay descriptions) that his wife cheated on him with a younger guy with a better job.
Though of course that does not take away the possibility of the guy himself also being a total bastard, but cheating is never acceptable.

I would consider my divorce options without destroying property I might gain in the divorce, especially as that action would almost certainly make the divorce settlement less favorable for me. It would play into the narrative that I was angry and abusive all along, causing my spouse to cheat.

Sure, because there are plenty of misogynistic people who will reflexively support his cause.
