Q. Why don't we put the TALLIS in possession of the
court temporarily until the time of Eliyahu?
A.
Such a procedure is used when we are uncertain what the law is in
a case. Here, though, we are certain what the law is. Unless proven
otherwise, both children are assumed to have picked up the TALLIS
at the same time, and therefore they should divide it.

6. Q.
How does the court divide the TALLIS? Why?

One person should buy the out the other's half or the TALLIS is sold
to a third party and the money is divided in order not to devaluate
the TALLIS as a whole by cutting it.
