"The War of the Roses" is starting to look tame by comparison.

The Brooklyn woman who has lived in the same house as her estranged hubby -- with a plywood and Sheetrock wall separating them -- since 2006 has hit her spouse with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit, accusing him of everything from racketeering to illegally stashing dough in Swiss bank accounts.

In the $26 million-plus suit filed in Manhattan federal court yesterday, bitter Borough Park wife Chana Taub, 61, also targets police, prosecutors, five judges and several of her former lawyers.

She claims that each defendant at various times illegally tried to thwart her efforts to nail her hubby, Simon, 62, for different crimes.

Chana could not be reached yesterday, but her husband told The Post that they still live in the same house on 49th Street as they continue to duke it out.

"The wall is very strong -- two layers of Sheetrock," chuckled Simon Taub, referring to the court-ordered barrier erected in the home.

"Sometimes, a person makes a wrong turn and can't climb back on track," he added, describing his wife's actions.

Chanaleh Taub, 61 needs gelt real bad.

No life of modesty for this alteh kaker. Chanaleh "needs" millions of Dollares Americanos while her Jewish sisters struggle to survive financially.

The lesson that I have learned from other people saying: We believe in Ahavas Yisrooel and Tikkun Olam = Do As I Say Not As I do.

Moschiach Uber Alles!

++also targets police, prosecutors, five judges and several of her former lawyers++

She is obviously a crackpot, and will lose this case, as well as taint herself in any pending matrimonial litigation over which judges have a lot of discretionary power.

This is the best thing that could happen to the ex-husband: having your ex-wife come across as a complete psycho-beeaatch in court.

Divorce is ugly. At least in this case when the smoke settles down there will be two wealthy individuals. The question is the degree of wealth.

I sure hope that they will both be people of charity since there is alot of need out there.

Yeah, the two opposing lawyers.

It's just like the old saying:
One lawyer in a small town starves. Two lawyers in a small town both become millionaires.

If he stays on his side and she stays on hers, and both apparently have been given a portion of what must be a HUGE bank account, what more could they want? Unless he's bothering her all the time or vice versa. Initially I thought this was a much younger couple with children involved, however, seeing that she's 61 I can't imagine why either one of them wouldn't just want to downsize and start over somewhere else. It doesn't take $26mil to do that! The stubbornness sounds like nothing more than immaturity unless he is a domineering stalker that would not leave her alone.
