Regardless of who's fault the break up is, she's entitled to half the property they acquired together as a couple (not before they got married).
So he should swallow his heartbreak (I know it's hard) and give her what's rightfully hers. Unless he's saying they have no property together as couple.

Former Ghana international Nii Odartey, has won his lawsuit in which his wife was seeking to gain 50% of all his wealth.
An Accra High Court ruled on Wednesday ruled that, Gloria Appiah, his former wife, committed ‘adultery’ when she conceived three children out of wedlock and subsequently quashed her motion to be awarded half of the property of the former footballer.
Justice Cecilia Don-Chebe Agbevey, who presided over the matter, also ordered the estranged wife to vacate the footballer’s plush 7-bedroom apartment in East Legon within 30 days.
She was however allocated a small property at Dome, a suburb of Accra, as compensation, leaving the player with the clearance to keep the majority of his hard-earned wealth.

you are missing the the point she got something and also it clearly say the kids were not his meaning eg if she had 4 kids 3 being not his means there was high chance she would lose the 7 bedroom and she did becoz she had no grounds for her to have such a big house

but the bottom line is every chance is different as facts and etc are shown to the judge (it wont be dealt in a culture traditional way) but i according civil laws

Well who knows?

I do know that people are quick to call marital property 'the man's property'. Quickly assuming the woman didn't contribute anything while they were married. Maybe she had a job. Maybe they built the house together. And even if she did not have a paid job, her being a housewife is also a job that contributed to the family wellbeing while it lasted. Thus enabling the man to go out comfortably and earn money without worrying about home work. That's a big contribution. Hence she's entitled to half what they made while married.

If he wants to get back at her for what she did to him, I think there are lawsuits he can file (not sure) but there probably are. And those wouldn't involve trying to cheat her out of what belongs to her.

The person you quoted is partially right. In community property jurisdictions, both parties have joint ownership of property acquired during the marriage, regardless of whether it's in joint title or in the name of only one of the parties.

If in USA, he is screwed. A child born in marriage is automatically his child irrespective of what the DNA shows. Had it been they were not married, he could easily wriggle out of it by 1) Challenging the authority of DCSS to collect a debt that is not within its power by the Title IV-D of the Social Security Act of 1975. 2) Using the DNA to file a motion to compel the mother to identify the father of the child.
Some states are no fault state and any properties acquired during the course of the marriage is shared equally between the two parties. What state is this case in? Any property acquired before the date of the marriage cannot be shared whether there is a pre-nuptial agreement or not.

Solution: Have your friend schedule appointments with three different family attorneys who specialize only in divorce. He should use the three different opinions and advices to move forward.

In most cases some men aquire this properties before they get married.

Are you in naija? If yes, just chase her and shout her offence to the hearing of her family and loved ones. If you are not, faced with infidelity and paternity fraud, that biatcj ain't getting nothing! In fact, let your lawyer go after her for every cents she and her family have got since you are the one suing. No dulling, show no mercy!

All u need do is to lace her with Magun and let that her ubiquitous toto be her undoing.

If the child had known him as father, if he has given the child his name, if he has signed to be the child's father, he may be forced to pay child support. Law takes the child into consideration in some cases.



Sexual frustration or cheating can happen to males and females. Just like men also cheat esp if the wife's job takes her outside 5he home for extended periods of time and people would say sex is important in marriage, so does a wife also need her husband to have sex with her too. So yes, the temptation may come. You don't blame a cheating man when his wife is a workaholic and is always not around why then do you think the woman should be abandoned in a cold bed and the man feigning he doesn't know she misses sex too?

helpee:
statistic which some may find surprising, a full third of all children born in the United States each year are born to unmarried parents. Historically, the only way to definitively prove paternity was for the mother of the child to file a paternity suit, however more recently, the laws have changed to allow either parent to file a paternity suit to establish the father-child relationship. Depending on the results of the DNA test, the child’s birth certificate will be changed to reflect—or remove—the name of the father. If paternity is definitely established, child support will be ordered by the state.


The Legalities of Fatherhood



THIS is what the research on Google brought. Study it well....once paternity is established using DNA, they remove the name of the fathet from the birth certificate and the man is absolved from child support. So brother...nobody can force you to pay child support for a child not yours if you pursue the case

Getting property in Nigeria? No my brother. She is not entitled to anything. Even the hubby can chase her out without taking a pin. There is no law biding infidelity in Nigeria. Tell your friend to relax. She can hire SAN that's her headache.

FortuneTeller:


Google does not have all the information. I live in the US and one of these cases hit the news every year. I know one man in this situation. If you are married when the child is conceived, the court views you as the father. The ones who normally get out of this scenario, do so when the woman identifies another man as the father through the birth certificate or a request for child support from the other man. If this does not happen, the court views the husband as the father regardless of DNA. He will pay child support for a child that is not his.

Wait, is she getting the properties as reward for screwing his life and making a fool of him?

She was caught cheating,
A divorce has been filed,
A DNA test has proven the boy not to be his?

And he is scared she'd get half of his properties..


Your friend is obviously a sîssy!
Sissies don't merit my advice.
