The marriage was about Eight years ago (2010). The marriage was formalized in the registry and blessed with two kids. Recently, the wife began to misbehave on the ground that she wants the family to relocate to Lagos from Ibadan. When husband hesitated, the wife absconded with the two kids, so for close to three years now husband has been struggling to see the wife and children. The line is going but she Will never reveal her whereabout.

Now, husband is tired of waiting and wants to settle with another woman, what steps needed be taken that will not contradict the law.

There was a suggestion that he can marry another woman but he can not take her to registry again. Good suggestions mostly legal experts. Thanks

since she has been away for three years,advise him to go to registry for notification,he is entitle for another wife

since you have not seen her for over 3 years. then go to the nearest high court through a lawyer to seek a divorce. however when asking for the divorce make sure you add, upkeep, school fees etc of your children plus access to them.

Thanks, (1)can he requested the babies be in his care, one is seven and the other is three
(2) Must she (mean wife) not appear in person before finalise the arrangement in court?
(3) If the man marry another traditionally (no registry) what's the implications?

Still anxiously waiting for candid suggestions. Thanks

What about your wife's family, what did they say about their daughter's abscondment?

We always think that the land is green at the other side, new wife is not the solution. The energy and resources that you want to waste on filling for divorce use it and go make peace with your wife and children.

No sane woman will just run away with kids without something being wrong with you the husband (I may be wrong).
If you are a good son inlaw your wife's family would not tolerate their daughter's misbehaviour.
TELL US WHAT REALLY HAPPENED THAT MADE HER RUN AWAY.

He should file for abandonment.
Separated for 3 years?
They are no longer man and wife.
The woman voided the contract.



Have the marriage annulled. . . . The ex-spouse is an UNSOUND MIND.

The woman must have met a REALLY big god to be able to take care of the children for the past two years without sending the man. Or perhaps she got a REALLY good job in Lagos, reason she was pressing for relocation.

Whatever u do, abeg leave the children with her. Just get visitation rights. No go carry the children come for your new lady to take learn or perfect witchcraft and wickedness.

Na dat one concern me. Shikena

Easy.

Get a lawyer to file for divorce for you. She would be served court notices through her parent's address , if she like make she no come.

Bet what is wrong with moving to Lagos? Just wondering out loud It's surprising how easily couples allow the most silly things to disintegrate their union beyond repair. It is well.

What really transpired was the fact that we should relocate to Lagos from Ibadan because she believed she is more used to Lagos having stayed there for years. so she never like I Ibadan and what am building gradually is within Ibadan.

I was in good condition her Mummy but seems the mum instigated the idea so she won't support my idea

She had frustrated me enough, pleaded enough but to no avail because her mum make it worse. She had lost her Dad

I had tried enough, but she has this ego. Infact am tired, made attempt for children to stay with me but she insisted.

Let the children stay with their mum, and get visitation rights amongst your divorce settlement.
The court can make it clear when you can have the children e.g holidays and maybe one weekend every month or whatever arrangement will be fair.
The marriage is dead already, and you can file for divorce since you've been separated for more than 2 years. You can even claim abandonment.
