Taub may break down 'Wall of the Roses'
The will may finally come down.
The husband in Brooklyn's "War of the Roses" couple vowed yesterday to remove the wall that has kept the unhappy pair apart inside their Borough Park home.
"The wall goes off! Let her hire a guard," declared Simon Taub, 58, saying he wants access to the entire house now that a judge has made him responsible for all household expenses.
"If I pay everything, no more wall!"
"He's not allowed to touch it," his wife, Chana Taub, shot back. "It's a violation of my order of protection."
The couple won't get any help from exasperated Supreme Court Judge Carolyn Demarest, who washed her hands of them yesterday. Demarest said she will not "micromanage" the couple, whose fight began two years ago when Chana Taub filed for divorce on grounds of "cruel and inhuman treatment."
Simon, a millionaire sweater mogul, refused to move out of their Borough Park home. Then, in a ruling last year, another judge let him stay, provided he built a Sheetrock wall to separate their living spaces.
During a 10-day divorce trial in March, Chana Taub claimed her husband had attacked her with everything from a telephone to a treadmill. Their four children testified against him. But in a rare decision, the jury refused to dissolve the 21-year marriage.
So, Chana Taub, 57, asked Demarest for temporary alimony and child support.
"There is no divorce. Mr. Taub is going to support the home for the family," the judge declared. "You can keep that wall up for all I care. This is over!"
Chana Taub is considering an appeal.

Shes getting everything she deserves. Every court ruling continues to go against her. A nerve for her to demand "alimony" and "child support"! Aren't her children adults already? And what entitles her to "alimony"?
She shouldn't have shlepped this into the courts and public. Of course once she did, he publically responded.

Someone should be filming this as this will one day make a really good movie.

What's the point of making a movie when the people who would be most interested in watching it don't own televisions?

Are all of you saying Simon Taub is innocent? The creep is evil! He can afford a new house. He just wants to make her miserable.

He bought the house. Its his. Why should he move?
The Judge was right about that.

Marriage is a relationship.
If she wants to end that relationship the local bet din needs to have the sense to convince him to do so.
you dont force a relationship against someone's will.
The law provides for her to get her part of the marital estate.
This person sounds like a 'Navaal BeReshus HaTorah'.
I would not want to be there when the Bet Din Shel Maala metes out the punishment for a person such as Mr. Taub.

Anon6:50, You are incorrect regarding the law (at least Jewish law.)
1. A wife does not have an automatic right to demand a divorce. (This by the way is the law in Bais Din and in the State of New York, as there is no "no fault" divorces possible.)
2. The law provides all marital assets to the husband. The husband must then fulfill his financial obligations to her prescribed in the kesubah.
3. In this particular case, Mr. Taub is the wronged party. Mrs. Taub dragged this into secular court and the media.

Will they be selling the wall on ebay? I'd be curious to see if the wall had a diamond shaped hole in it.....
Yes, if your going to comment that I'm sick in the head, no reason to bother. I'm well aware.

Rabbi Yisroel Belsky, as we all know is on the side of Mrs. Taub. Last week he suggested that she should move in with him. He said his wife is visiting in Israel, and would't be makpid. He is such a tzadik.

That previous comment about HaRav Belsky is not only untue, but pure libel & slander.

Rav Belsky doesn't have an egg in this case. He isn't involved and hasn't taken sides.
The comment about him being involved is just pure desperation on the zonahs supporters.

Rav Belsky never supported anyone in this case. He is uninvolved.

Mrs. Taub sounds like the type that craves attention. Tell her to go jump in the lake, and speak to a psychologist
