"You'll be surprised at how 'kiddish' and 'petty' some couples can get upon a divorce," says Mr Lee Terk Yang, director of law firm Characterist LLC.

Mr Lee has seen a client whose estranged wife demanded a cuckoo clock, a black umbrella, a few rolls of toilet paper and the branded eye cream she had in the fridge before she moved out.

"Amazing, but true," says Mr Lee.
