Mothers, while the father provides upkeep money & visits from time to time.

I think the should remain together just for the sake of the children

Going for a divorce is a big trauma for the children,cause each party would want to paint his/her partner black.

It's not straight-foward.It depends on a no of factors e.g age of the kids, financial capacity of either of the parents, health status e.t.c.

What really does the customary law in Nigeria state on this?
Re: Fathers Or Mothers; Who Should Keep The Children After Divorcement? by socialmediaman: 12:15am On Aug 06, 2021
There shouldn't be a straightforward rule on this. By default it should be a shared responsibility. They stay with the father sometimes and with the mother sometimes. If one of the parents is incapacitated, like being a drug addict or unstable lifestyle, then they custody could be exclusive to the other. The courts should consider all the facts on ground

Both parties should act on the best interest of the child Example

If the mother earns....
<<< 60,000 a month
<<<< Lives in the ghetto in one bedroom not conducive for raising kids
<<<<has a demanding job/boss
<<<<Emotionally stable with great personality

The father earns....
<<<<<250,000 per month
<<<<< lives in a nice suburb
<<<<<Does not have a demanding boss/ hence can come home on time
<<<<<<Emotionally stable with great personality..

Who amongst the two do you think is capable of having the custody of the child

You're biased and stereotyping.

Children are better off with their father cos mothers don't do a good job raising children.

No, fathers raise better children and statistics can prove that.


The woman can visit intermittently and provide money for the children's upkeep

Since both are emotionally stable, with great personality.They should go and make their marriage work, at least for the sake of their children.
But, if that, is not an option, then,let the husband leave the nice suburb, for the mother and children.
Split his salary, for his children school & upkeep.
The woman can give up her high demanding job, for another job that will allow her time ,for the children.
Women, are better caregivers, money or no money ask Davido.
Mother's love is priceless.

Facts don't care about feelings or rhetorics.

Mothers are not capable of raising good children alone (lots of children raised by single mothers are criminals, constitute nuisance in the society or in jail) but fathers do a better job.


In the case of divorce, the father should keep the children while the mother visits and drop money for the children's upkeep.

Father's love is the ultimate.

OK....I understand that you have never been in that situation before that could be the reason it was easy to say... neither have I...

But picture it this way....U Built a house with your sweat... got a spouse that u lived with for 3years...
U had irreconcilable differences that made your spouse move out with your 2year old...

While seeking for the custody of the child, the court ruled that u should vacate the house so that your spouse and the kid can come in because it's a better place to raise kids... that u should look for somewhere else and rent...

Are you very sure that u will be happy with the ruling?... if you are indeed sure then you are one of the rear species that is difficult to find in human race smiley...

Going by your facts, between fathers and mothers who between the two has the higher percentage of being granted physical custody of the children by family court judges?

A higher-earning spouse who does move out of the family home must expect to continue paying many of the household expenses, including the mortgage and insurance payments. This generally means the spouse who leaves will end up in a less desirable living situation. Depending on the overall picture, the spouse who stays in the home may give up money or property in the ultimate division, to make up for having had the benefit of staying in the home.

The fact that one spouse stays in the family home at separation doesn't necessarily mean that spouse is more likely to receive the house when the property is divided permanently. State laws require marital property in a divorce to be divided either equally or "equitably," meaning fairly. This usually means that one spouse will be able to keep the house only if the other spouse receives either money or other property of comparable value. Some states also consider "fault" (such as adultery or abandonment) in dividing property. Even in these states, however, many factors could be relevant, including the length of the marriage; each spouse's contribution to the acquisition of the property (including contributions as a homemaker); and each spouse's health, age, employability and other resources. Who lived in the house between the time the spouses separated and the time the divorce was ready to be finalized isn't likely to be a major factor.

In all my years in the West I have never seen a spouse lose the house without being paid off.

Unfortunately, women has the higher percentages in getting child custody and the society is paying dearly for that.

I'll give you few things fathers do differently to raise better children beyond the basics of food,clothes, shelter and education. However, it's not limited to the underlisted:

Administer discipline appropriately
Provides frame/ensure the child maintains it
Provides direction/leadership
Ensure the child takes responsibility for themselves/others
Upholds logic on issues over soy based emotions
Limit narcissism
Ensures balance in interpersonal relationships
