Borough Park, Brooklyn, NY - Court Lets Husband Build Barrier Splitting Home in Half

Borough Park, Brooklyn, NY - A New York sweater manufacturer in a nasty divorce battle has received permission from a court to divide the family home with a wall.

Simon Taub and his estranged wife, Chana, are locked in a bitter fight as was reported on VOS IZ NEIAS, and Chana Taub said she fears having her husband back in their home in Brooklyn's Borough Park section, even with a wall splitting their living spaces. "I am absolutely petrified," she said. "I will never feel safe again if he is in this home. He has threatened to take my life. He has told me more than once he would poison my food. This decision is totally shocking to me."

An appeals court ruled that Chana Taub had failed to prove any danger. Simon Taub says he was thrown out of the house "for no reason" and wants to be back with his children. "I was thrown out of that house for no reason, and it's so good to know that I'm going back home," he added.
The Appellate Division ruling held that Chana Taub failed to prove that removing her husband from the house was necessary for her safety. "The wife's only allegations of actual violence were incredible, and the alleged threats made by the husband were uncorroborated," the ruling said. "I feel vindicated," said Taub. "In time, I will have the entire home back."
Chana Taub has asked for permission to take the case to the state Court of Appeals.
