Lawyers,

Please I want to know how soon two consenting parties can get divorced in the courts in Nigeria. As in what's the earliest that the divorce can be finalized after filing proceedings?

Thanks for your responses.

Thanks for your responses.

it can be done with immediate effect as long as you can rub few palms. with as little as N50k in lagos and an evidence of infidelity or gross misconduct, you are good to go!

Okay thanks.

noobiesin: Okay thanks.

why do you need such though?
divorce should be the last resort especially if kids are involved.

Hmmmmmm, my brother, long story but God will take care of the kid. I just need the info. I know 1 year must lapse b4 divorce proceedings can commence in court. I'm waiting for one year to be complete. Are u a lawyer? Or do u know any reliable divorce lawyer who can help file the case? Thanks.

i am not a lawyer but i know for sure these things can be fast-tracked. i reiterate, divorce should be the last resort!

I agree with the coogar on this... what is makin you consider divorce
is your life at stake,,, do you want to keep the child,.... have all dispute resolution mechanisms failed,..... is there someone else in the picture...

Thanks. Ur advice is duly noted. Any lawyer you can recommend?

No there's nobody else in the picture. Yes. It's life threatening as far as I'm concerned. My research has shown that the best I can get as the father is joint control, cos some things can't be proven in court. So I'll just keep praying for my daughter. Jazz things n all that. I really don't want to put my story out on the net. Just need to get some info I couldn't get on google.

Thanks

noobiesin: Okay thanks.

Better don't believe the crap you are saying thanks to.
Divorce is not that fast or immediate.Don't waste your money rubbing useless palms.

Whether you rub palms or not,the first thing they'll tell you in court is to try reconcilliation and come back in a number of months and then a lot of other hearings and adjournments.
I know this because i know a friend going thru the same.
Talk to a laywer.

well in that case, get a reputable lawyer...since you say you are both consenting

since things have gone diabolical.. May God help you
if that is your decision,Just try and be responsible for that child because girl children are fragile especially if neglected by thier dads...

Contact lawyer on the property section, he may be able to recommend one or two family lawyers

@ Slimyem, pls, are both parties consenting to the divorce in your friend's case?

@ Biolabee, thanks, I'll contact lawyer in property section. I'll be there for my kid, it's better I'm alive to take care of her than for some wicked woman with her mother waste my life.

noobiesin: . I'll be there for my kid, it's better I'm alive to take care of her than for some wicked woman with her mother waste my life.

noobiesin: @ Slimyem, pls, are both parties consenting to the divorce in your friend's case?

Not really.The other party though uninterested in the union has been uncooperative and uninterested in the proceedings too.
Goodluck to you.

Op all i will say is try all dispute resolution measures
divorce is irreparable..

OP, go to the court house. They should give you better information and am sure you will be able to get divorce lawyer references or information relating to that. If your life is threatened by her and you can prove that, then no problem. Na wa, maybe the jazz just clear your eye. See gobe! Jazz wahala.

divorce can be costly especially with a child involved.
if things don't go your way or you happen to get a feminist presiding the case, be prepared to lose a sizeable chunk of your wealth to your wife. so consider your options very well before going at it full pelt!

I can bet my bottom dollar that the first couple of advice were given on the assumption that OP was a woman.

As soon as OP identified himself as male...so the quick switcheroo!!

Hahahahaha! I love this section.

nah - i knew he was a man from the get-go!
men tend to cut down to the chase and go straight to the point while women would add a gallon of emotional tales to win sympathy.

if the op's a woman then the post would go.....

"please, i want to know how soon 2 consenting parties can get divorced in nigeria because i am tired of my husband. he's abusive, he slapped me 6 times this morning for praying in silence and reh reh reh"

sisikill, we sabi una!

trade secrets, my friend!

At poster: well if the parties consent aπϑ there are no kids/ properties then it can be done within 6 months. Would have posted a timeline! Ps: fastracking cannot be done except you want fake documents. Ps: what we advise instead is forum shopping to make it quicker! Ps: whoever said lagos has never gone to court in lagos.
U can always buzz me. I am a lawyer

Please can I have the details of the divorce lawyer?

@OP, eme+ify
I once searched desperately for a divorce lawyer but found none. Today, I am a lot happier for not following the divorce path.
May the good Lord who settled my family do same for yours (Amen).

Slimi so u can be this scared. I used to think that you are very strong - Lol.

You really made me laugh out so loud.

I can advise u cos my own divorce case is almost completed if not for the strike. Mine is similar tours anyways, baby involved, young marriage as well, and diabolical things involved....I understand divorce is harder than marriage...but, sometimes, it's a way out of what might befall u in the future cos the strength u have now to bear the infidelity of a partner...u might not be able to withstand it in the future when u have built so deep ur trust on ur unfaithful partner. If u need the service of the lawyers that has helped brought my own case this far...buzz me.
