Judge Creates Partitioned Divorce Home Plan in Aarup Case
In Chicago Judge Honore grants absolute divorce in Aarup v Aarup and orders a divided residence.

Each party remains joint owners and supports the family, with separate entrances. The unusual decree resolves years of litigation from 1907 amid complex ownership and access issues.
