ColdHunter:
I have a cousin who have been in an abusive marriage for the past 12years. Not necessarily physical but emotional and verbal abuse. She is totally fed up as her mental health has been deteriorating due to constant fear. Her husband happens to be a rich but mischievous man and she is worried about what the man could do should she file for legal seperation.

Her concern is that he may go after her if she files for seperation. Secondly, is it the court that determines custody of their 3 children(12, 11, 9). She have already found accommodation but hasnt informed him of her plans to separate. She doesnt want anything from him as she has a successful business. Experienced people should please contribute.

Kobojunkie:
What state is she in?

ColdHunter:
Lagos. That was where the court wedding took place too.

This is one sided story, but anyway search for the justice court on YouTube. Precidinding judge funmi Asaolu.
You will see their e mail address, then
tell your cousin to file her case. Both of them will be invited..
The justice court is in Lagos.

I heard Lagos is one of the more progressive states when it comes to enforcing laws, if you take it to court hopefully you get a competent lawyer

I’m not an expert but unless there’s any impact on the children and you can prove it, joint custody is probably the best way to go. They’re technically still his kids

Bear in mind that being a man + rich puts him at a great advantage in this struggle

Good luck

ColdHunter:


Yes he is rich. But she isnt exactly struggling too as she can afford a good lawyer. Secondly, she isnt really looking for full custody as she wants him to be a full part of their lives. I'm basically wondering if there are precautionary measures she needs to take before officially serving him

ColdHunter:


One sided story how? Did I say the man is a devil or that my cousin is a saint. The question is basically how to get a peaceful seperation without fear of being bullied

okeke6969:


Leave all this your argument and follow the information I gave you. After all, you requested for help. You people sef.

ColdHunter:
Will do. I've looked up the site and I could see it's for a broadcasted court process. Not sure its something either of them will be interested in.

Socratiz:
She doesn't need a lawyer especially because this is happening in Lagos state.

There is a Lagos State Agency she can contact. The government will intervene and the man will not be able to harass her unless he wants he wants to taste prison beans.

I am not sure whether the information should be shared on a public forum like this.

You can send me a mail so that I give you the necessary information

Are there steps she must take to forestall any bullying?

With all honesty if the mum can hold her own and contribute to the children’s welfare then she has a fighting chance because her children are at an age where the father can also lay claim. If she can pay towards their education and living 50/50 in a standard that is acceptable for these children then she has a fighting chance. But If the father wants to show her something and he can prove certain things then she has a fight on her hands. I fear niqqers with money when it comes to kids!

Mindlog:


Prove things like what?

HudaIna:


What ever we don’t know! LOL! This is a friend of a kinda story… right? We don’t know the deeds!
