Nigeria men go share their properties keep dream ing in uk

Just what I wanted to type. Share which properties? When assassins and hitmen are still in existence?

Joke of the century! The woman that will want to share my properties won't live to enjoy them.

Queseda:

My friend has been seperated from his wife for over 3years, the marriage produced no kids. They did court marriage, will he have to share his property with the wife? The wife is the petitioner

That depends whether the wife contributed to acquiring the property.

THE BIBLE DO NOT ENCOURAGE DIVORCE.

JESUS DO NOT ENCOURAGE DIVORCE.

JESUS TEACH US ABOUT ABSOLUTE FORGIVENESS.

JESUS TEACH US ABOUT NUMBER OF TIMES OF FORGIVENESS,NO MATTER THE GRAVITY OF THE OFFENSE, BEING IT ADULTERY. WE MUST FORGIVE 70×7=490 TIMES.

IN CASE COUPLE CANNOT STAY TOGETHER AS A RESULTS OF UNFAITHFULNESS,AND INTOLERANCE, THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO FILE FOR SEPARATION

BOTH PARTNER ARE NOT ALLOWED TO REMARRY TO ANOTHER PERSON.THEY ARE TO STAY UNMARRIED.IF ANY ONE VENTURE IN MARRIAGE, COMMITTED ADULTEROUS.

MARRIAGE IS FOR BETTER AND FOR WORST.MARRIAGE IS A DIVINE INSTITUTES OF GOD,IT IS NOT A CONTRACT APPOINTMENT.

SO BE CAREFUL BE YOU FALL IN LOVE.

REMEMBER THAT THE MOMENT YOU FAIL MARITALLY IT WILL AFFECT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, AND EVENTUALLY MISS HEAVEN.

LEARN TO KEEP YOUR MARRIAGE NO MATTER WHAT. YOU CAN SEPARATE FROM THE WORLD, AND EVEN FROM THE CHURCH MAKE HEAVEN, BUT YOU CAN'T SEPARATE FROM FAMILY AND STILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN. THE POSSIBILITY IS 1%.
MIND YOU HEAVEN IS SO REAL AND JESUS IS COMING SOON. PREPARE TO MEET HIM.

There should be a change in marriage contract in the world and especially in Nigeria. Modern marriage contract should be for like 5 years with an option of renewal. If you enjoy it, you renew, if not, you leave and look for another partner

Something that football has mastered, but because of European customs we believe marriage should be forever.

When you have partners that are understanding, committed with a mind to make things work, self-less and ready to shift grounds to suit the other, divorce would not be an option, i just hate that word divorce. But Generally for me, in divorce, we are sharing no property as my properties are mine and i take custody of my kids....sefini!!!!!!!!!! That is what i would tell my lawyers to fight for.

A sperm donor wants children all to himself.

Assuming the woman wants to pay you for the donation in cash?

Re: How To File For A Divorce In Nigeria by Dsimple: 8:04pm On Oct 24, 2020
Hmmmmmm I should have create a thread for this, but I'm still considering my options. I am or was married with one lady and she absconds from my house, stealing everything she could carried along with her including my ATM card and withdrawing all the money in the account and still left with our son of three years old. It's been more than one year since this happened. Her mother is threatening me with jail terms if I don't produce her daughter and she is now telling me that the boy is not mine. I had it from good authority that she is with her mum in Lagos while I'm staying at Abuja. The marriage was contracted in Jos, plateau state. Her dad is late and her mother has since sold the house where the marriage took place. I really need to get my son back as soon as possible.

This is confusing. Explain it to her.

Don't make the mistake to think any judge will give you 50% or more like they do in Europe and America.
I've followed up many divorce cases and you usually get what you put in. Meaning, you'll get property that is proportionate to what you contributed or that you bought by yourself unlike in the West where everything is automatically shared.
If you can't provide evidence that you contributed to acquire a particular stuff, you won't be given a part of it,not even 0.99%.

As for money settlement? I've seen judges award money settlement many times though it's not as bogus as the ones in the West. A man/woman can be worth 50m and the court will tell him/her to settle his/her lesser earning wife/husband with 100-500k.

Reason for filling for divorce and the petitioner also matters.

Legally educative.
Concerns about the consequence of the divorce:
a) Will the properties evenly shared even when most of the properties carry one partner's name and not Mr.& Mrs?
Can the divorced couple approach the registry for marriage again after the 'decree absolute'?

No insults please.

The post was very educative. But then I do not encourage divorce because no marriage is irredeemable. See this article: https://victorscorner.com/2016/10/07/towards-a-better-marriage-7-shut-the-door-on-divorce/

Like i said, i am not pro-divorce, but that should be how things ought to go in my previous narration. sperm donor kwanu? the sperm harbourer should not feel too entitled. She can come check up on her kids when it is convenient for her but who takes custody? should be me. Above all, divorce should never be an option if the atmosphere can still controlled and situation saved with wisdom.

For disagreeing with you, i revealed my animalistic trait.

Imagine.

Seriously you have a lowself esteem.

Africans with lowself esteem starts everything with how Africans are this and that, every thing negative.

I had to reveal your disease before it ruin you.


Is like you just heard the word "Lowself esteem"/ this is not the proper way to write it...I want to advise you to check your dictionary and proof-read your comments before posting it out for public consumption because you are a disgrace to the school that issued their educational certificate to you.
Product of nomadic education.

Waiting for op to shed more light on this

And also on impact of pre-nuptials on sharing formula..

Personally, I feel that... what you bring in, is what you take out.. Particularly if the union shows no significant sacrifice on the part of the lower earner.

Please shed more light.
