How Do I Avoid Paying My Wife Alimony In The Event Of Divorce? by Jbleenk: 5:32am On Aug 17, 2023
I am looking at divorcing my wife on the ground of mainly cheating among a lot of other reasons. We are only married for about 9 months.

I saw a compromising chat on her phone where someone was asking her to come spend the night with him. My problem is not the guy asking her to come spend the night with him, my problem is her reply to him.

She was supposed to be in school that day but I went to pick her from school the previous day cause she has an appointment with the doctor.

She told the guy when he asked her to come spend the night that she won’t be able to come because she’s writing exams. Meanwhile she’s actually not writing any exam at that period, and was in my house at that point.

I confronted her but she came up with stories that didn’t add up. I suspected that:

1 she must have been having sexual affairs with this person

2 she probably would have gone if she was in school.

Right now I have separated with her against pleading from her families and thinking of initiating a divorce process.

My question is how do I go about this and not pay alimony as she don’t deserve anything from me.

The story with her is a lot deeper I hope to find time and the presence of mind to write someday. In the meantime, I need to go ahead with the divorce and move on.

If there's evidence of her cheating then you should get custody and she pays you alimony.

No going back my experience with her is not palatable at all. I hope to pen this down someday.

You have not been married long enough for alimony to apply to your divorce. It’s usually a marriage of 10+ years. Usually.

But if you have kids, then child support applies until the kid is 18.

Now we're gradually recovering our men back from the simps zone. This was how our father's/ grandfather's acted hence their women adored/respected them.

Promiscuity is now on the rise with women these days because they know men are becoming weak and even when caught cheating, all they need do is beg and the relationship/marriage continues. If men would stand up for themselves and start taking drastic actions when it comes to infidelity from their wives/gf then the female folks will sit-up....

Don't ever forgive any woman caught cheating on you no matter what. If she loves and respect you, she wouldn't dare indulge in it.

Men, call it quit when you find her cheating and never give room for negotiations/ reconciliation.

The man power must be restored. You're a king in ur home and as such be regarded as one.

In this case, you have no business with Alimony

You guys are married but yet to have children
Besides the marriage is still too young to talk about any nonsense Alimony

The first step is to ask for a refund of the bride price and once that is achieved, then you are fine

But if her family refuse to refund the bride price you have to still go ahead withe divorce

But I just have to let you know that, you rushed into this and now you are rushing out

Next time don't be in a hurry take your time

Understanding women is not something you will just assume that a woman will remain faithful

Take time and know what you want from a woman, if you can then you will get it

I don't get you? What are you on about? Women are difficult to keep as wife? Are you to marry women or find your wife? Now, all men that ever have been married made lifetime mistake? There must be something men who are successfully married did right and are doing right, yes? Don't tell me all men are not enjoying their marriages.

Me i no know about that. I no dey do hookup, there are still decent people around. There are still decent human beings with strong value system, morals and self worth whether dem get money or not. As no be all men be gigolo as there are some men with all the dollars in the world no go knack yansh, no be all Nigerian women dey do runs. Make una no dey generalize. No be everybody be suffer head. Change your circle, change your choice of women.
