Wow I never knew divorce had some steps to take that I didn’t know about!! Wow good to know this! This video was so educating!! Thanks for sharing Sotonye 🙏🏻
Love it! This video is so eye-opening, especially for women, no one is encouraging divorce but just knowing what divorce and separation mean legally. Sotee mama, you look great in black in white😁🥰
This video reminds me of the first video you did with chantel that made me know you! Your intelligence drew me to you. A very intelligent woman. Welldone girl
Please I need some clarification here. My wife (for 23yrs) came back from our church women programme held in June 2022, saying happily that Fida, (female lawyers) told them that no how they behave their husbands can't send them away. Since then problem in marriage increased. Quarrel on any slightest thing I say or do, painful words of abuse on me, my mom. Denying me of sex, using phone in secret, not cooking regularly and many others. Please how do I settle this matter. Because I'm avoiding disgrace for my wife and myself and effects on our children, I've not spoken to anyone. I'm in serious emotional pain and scared if I may suffer BP
Good job sis 🙌👍, you really diversified your content. All the best with this new series 💖 I pray that it will be the beginning of great things for you.
I did a traditional wedding with my wife on the 6th of march 2021, and we signed an agreement the day before our traditional wedding on the 5th of March 2021, that says ‘There shall be no divorce’, however recently as she was upset with me and without going to customary court to divorce, she went behind my back and did a court wedding with another man. I wish to nullify her court wedding she did 2weeks ago, as she as breached the agreement we made together. Can the agreement mad on the 5th of March 2021, be enforcedwith that said can i end the court wedding she did, cus i never ended the customary marriage, formal or by family elders, she just got up and did a court wedding without my knowledge or awareness, cus the court marriage was done when i travelled out the country, what can i do to end the registar marriage as she is still marroed to me under customary marriage
This is brilliant! Well done Sotee, we need to understand the law and I’m particularly excited about this series. Wow! It’s not easy getting a divorce, i know it takes steps but I never knew it’s this complex. This is so educative!
Seems you were sent from above to me my dear because I have been trying to see and know how to go about processing a divorce with my husband on the grounds of adultery,emotional abuse on the kids and financial issues too…please let me know how I can reach out to you since I am not in the country,thank you
@@SotySpecial a caveat was placed by a family member on my court process a few months ago. The registry director initially said they would host a meeting to attempt to resolve the caveat. Now they say that meeting isn't necessary. Two lawyer friends said it could be resolved by summary judgements. I'm not sure what to do.
Hello, this is great content, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for in this video. Does the brides family return the dowry during the divorce process or is this guy just being petty?
my sister just told me that she was served a divorce letter by her husband in a customary court, how will she go about it and what will be her claims if she approaches the court and she dont want a divorce because of her 4 children which the husband claims custardy of,
I am married in court in Nigeria. We live abroad and we have been separated here for 8 years. I starting divorce application in abroad. Will this divorce abroad be valid in Nigeria also.
Hypothetical Situation: A woman states she is pregnant so the man decides to marry the woman. After the marriage he later discovers that she is not pregnant. They decide to separate and now live in separate countries. They each live separate lives and there has not be any sex for at least one year. Is the above grounds for a divorce? If so how long does that process take and does both parties need to be present if they both reside outside of the country?
In a legal Nigeria Marriage if the husband cheats on the wife and the wife is not happy about it or does not accept her husband's act and yet doesn't want a divorce because she don't want her children to have a broken home, Is there a law that protects the wife and punishes the husband or saves as consequence for such an act.
Please when a man discover that the first born is not the real child of him.can the man divorce? And the man are still taking care of the 2 children paying for their school fees. But the man want to divorce the woman is possible????
Only in exceptional circumstances and leave of court must be granted. I advise to be separated for at least two years and then file for dissolution of marriage.

If she no longer wishes to be married, return her bride price or dowry. The agreement you signed is not valid in law. It is not a marriage certificate.
The issue is not whether it was done in church or not but if the church has the license to issue marriage certificate. If yes, the parties have to get a lawyer and come under any of the grounds for dissolution of marriage.

How does one get around a caveat in statutory marriage? The couple in question have done customary marriage.
Please explain what you mean.
@@SotySpecial a caveat was placed by a family member on my court process a few months ago. The registry director initially said they would host a meeting to attempt to resolve the caveat. Now they say that meeting isn't necessary.
Two lawyer friends said it could be resolved by summary judgements. I'm not sure what to do.
I’m interested in knowing about Annulment of marriage in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Okay, noted.
Hello, this is great content, but I'm not finding what I'm looking for in this video.
Does the brides family return the dowry during the divorce process or is this guy just being petty?
If there was a customary/traditional marriage, yes the dowry can be returned.
How do you dirvoce a marriage done in church if of 20 years without children
Was the church licensed to grant a marriage certificate?
Yes
👍
my sister just told me that she was served a divorce letter by her husband in a customary court, how will she go about it and what will be her claims if she approaches the court and she dont want a divorce because of her 4 children which the husband claims custardy of,
She should contact a lawyer!
Is marriage done in a local govt registry legal?
If they give you the recognized marriage certificate, then yes!
@@SotySpecialaaaaaaaah how does one know which is recognized or not
I am married in court in Nigeria. We live abroad and we have been separated here for 8 years. I starting divorce application in abroad. Will this divorce abroad be valid in Nigeria also.
It’s best to contact a family lawyer but I believe your marriage in Nigeria is still valid until you get a divorce in Nigeria.
Jesus really

They need to be separated for at least two years.
@@SotySpecial Thank you.
Does Nigeria allow an annulment?
Yes
Do you have a video on getting annulment
In a legal Nigeria Marriage if the husband cheats on the wife and the wife is not happy about it or does not accept her husband's act and yet doesn't want a divorce because she don't want her children to have a broken home, Is there a law that protects the wife and punishes the husband or saves as consequence for such an act.
She can apply for legal separation
Please when a man discover that the first born is not the real child of him.can the man divorce? And the man are still taking care of the 2 children paying for their school fees. But the man want to divorce the woman is possible????
Yes it is.
