The blessed is not so blessed after-all. She now turns divorce cases to church miracles - carry the divorce to where dem dey give more money to the wife even when none of the parties are resident. smh

If it is that straightforward Harrison Ford would have taken his divorce case to Oshodi magistrate court.

[b][size=16pt]But who is this ignoble!!!  What do you know about Family Laws of the 21st Century in the Uk?

You think, Western legal system is like that of Nigeria where laws are never changed or seen to be enforced appropriately.

Look, marriage can be annulled in any Family Courts in the West (remember, I did not say religious courts, here?), it doesn't have to and shouldn't be in the country of your birth or where you got married in the first place. 

Look before you start interrupting people on here, make sure you do your home work properly, ok??

So, because someone got married in Jamaica and live in the Uk with his/her family - and if they want to go their separate ways therefore, they must head home to Jamaica to do it, abi? 

Or should we say in this day in age, because, one studied a Science or Engineering Degree he/she must wait for jobs in those fields before he could work and feed his family, when he could find work elsewhere, eh!

I know some idiots are still thinking that way in Nigerian today and based on your thinking, you're not far from such group.   

Yes, its true the Oil man and his wife live in the Uk and if she or he is on holiday in America or Canada or still in the UK and feels that, American or Canadian justice could do him/her good then, he/she is free to ask to settle the matter there - what matters, is it not that both get justice and that's what courts are there to do?? 

It doesn't matter where you file for divorce - what matters is getting justice and African courts or Nigerian courts would never give a woman justice, abi? Maybe, only South African courts in Africa as a whole could even think of it - giving a little justice to a women, shame!

Right, here's a little home work for you.  You see, when Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall his longer term, long suffering girlfriend and mother of his 4 children went to somewhere in Indonasia and got married in a Hindu tradition/ceremony in the early 1990's - we all thought Mike had finally sowed his wild oaks not realising there was a baby coming into the world from South America by another young model - LG.

This event obviously, ruffled their marriage and Jerry head off to the British courts and asked for divorce only to be shocked when her husband contested the validity of the Indonasian Hindu marriage - as not legal and settled her only £10 million after many years together whilst the mother of his love-child got £6 millions when she sought paternity and won. 

And, I'm asking you Mr clever Lawyer, with great juri-prudence at your disposal - in which Country/City did Jagger contest that divorce? Was it not in Britain, was it not in a British Family courts and was it not in the City of London for that matter? clever!!!       

Listen, if you don't know your ABC on issues raised here in Nairaland please, ask first, people would direct and open you blind eyes, ok! There's nothing wrong in asking for ideas/direction from those who know, than pretending to live a lie - that's  ignorance.

Next time, dare not interrupt my commentary here until you'd researched your work, ok!

Now, go and google the above names and find out things - try and learn more about people and behaviours before coming out here to challenge ideas you're so timid about, lazy man![/size][/b]

For emphasis:

I've long realized that it's a waste of time to argue issues relating to sense and logic with most women. It's like casting pearls before swines. . . an utter waste of time.

Smart man that Prest dude! He's won my admiration! He would certainly be in my prayers - in the mean-while, I'm researching Yoruba customary law.

Claus:

It's worth noting that most lawyers of unmarried high net worth individuals are actually advising them NOT to marry. Thus we can see that the greatest aversion to divorce laws comes from the law community itself!

However, I don't think the political machinery in the West has the stomach to redress this balance just yet. The direction of political correctness right now is towards more rights and benefits for women and no politician is brave enough to champion anything that would bring fewer rights/benefit to women. fathers4justice have been fighting for years now, but no one's really listening. With time one would hope that common sense prevails and the laws are re-balanced.

For me, the greatest eye opener was when I went to watch Saturday league footbal for under 15 boys. These young boys train like twice a week and then play league football every Saturday as well as being full time pupils in secondary school. My talent scout eye spotted at least one future premiership player (who would therefore earn £millions). The truth is that when that time for premiership football comes, he can be married to a girl for 1, 2, 5 or 10 years and if they divorce, she is entitled to a considerable chunk of that money even if the machinery that produced that money had already been set in place long before the girl came into the picture.

I'm not arguing against a reasonable upkeep for a spouse and children in the case of a divorce. However, law or no law, the integrity of someone who wants to be a millionaire off the back of someone else's sweat will always be called into question.

Like a couple of people have said, you can't put a value on the intangible roles a spouse plays. Why then do we try to do it in the event of a divorce?

fresh_dude:

I'm beginning to think that marriage is a hoax, I mean if my wife's got her sights on half my worth what motivation is there to stick it out till the end and work on any possible prblems we might have?

ileobatojo:

Smh! Actually, if your wife has her sights on half your worth, that is probably good motivation for sticking it out till the end!

but then again,to the dude about to get hitched faster than most peeps, wld you honestly have ur wife sign a pre-nup now cos i believe u do pray to be wealthy someday.

Alot of our Naija men praise white/foreign women in dating and marriage. they claim they dont nag, not materialistic, and dont give the regular wahala native nigerian girls give.

so now that she has spent 15yrs with him and wants out with his cash, he now calls her gold digger while running from pillar to pole looknig for a way to save his money. (didnt he see those traits in her before marriage or was he carried away with the mentality that if its white,its gotta be right).

u men need to draw the line on ur double standards life in relation to local and foreign girls.
i might not know who wants out and what the reasons are behind it but then again our nigerian men should stop playing smart Bottom all the time, cos the end of ur sense is the beginning of another mans sense,

How come I am just seeing this thread

Now we can all see the direction the women are going Bloody leeches

Mark Zukerberg assuming he meets a girl tomorrow and they get married after 2 yrs have a child after 4yrs divorce

Now the girl would claim it was her support that made him a millionaire (Note he was already a millionaire before they met)

Why should i be forced to pay to support the lifestyle of another adult except I choose to?

Why cant she use her own support to create a similar empire for herself.

The best solution get her degree qualification, Calculate what her colleagues have made in their career which she lost by being a house wife

Assuming 100k a year multiply it by the number of years and pay her that.

If she cant maintain the children at the level they deserve then she should move them to the spouse who can.

Why should you be paid for having children, Was she forced to have those kids?

Sagamite:


You dey crase!

So you think local girls will not ask for half, na only white/foreign woman that will do?

GBAM!

Where is that cretin called Moremi?

rhymz:

Saga thank you very much for putting that hypocrit in his place. What has place of origin got to do with it, I wonder O. My Uncle that I am presently staying in his house here in Owerri is a victim of this same greedy feminist mentality. In his own case his wife is from thesame Imo state, Mbano to be precise, funny enough, it was my aunt that saw this greedy and heartless woman and introduced her average a$$ to my Uncle who just came in on a vacation from the states. A Fair and fiercely attractive woman with very many concealable character flaws. Of course the poor man did not see pass the pretty face and the fact she was a nurse, perhaps he reasoned with a career like that he had hit a jackpot. All he needed to do was marry her and take her with him to the US and live his Utopian dreams. In his haste to marry the NaughtyWoman, he did not allow for the proper family background investigation that usually preceeded the payment of bride price and stuff like that, the homeboy just drag my pupsy and co invade the gurl village, show them some American Abracadabra and wonder, did everything and then plunged into plans to bring her to the states. Before we could say Nwanyi, Biatch was already heavy with twins while still in Naija. No-do, no-do she was already in the states. Like play like play the woman don poo twins, 5-10yrs into the marriage she already was a mother of four childrien, with an excellent nursing career thanks to my uncle's financial encouragement and further sponsorship of numerous courses in her nursing field and the accompanying degrees earned. Then came the different stories of the woman's infidelity with a co-worker. That even caused them to separate, my uncle was forced to bring down the issue to Naija, a meeting ensued thereafter between our families and the woman's. When facts became so damning and hot for her to take, she made a threat that left everyone dazed at the meeting; she told her husband's family that she has nothing to lose if my uncle is seeking for a divorce and that she was ready for whatever decisions my Uncle was going to take provided my Uncle is ready to path ways with half of his possession. Already, the separation and dirty stories had taken a toll on the kids, they were living with her and she succeeded in turning them against their father. My Uncle knowing that he stands to lose almost everything if it eventually gets to a divorce stage rather chose to remain separated from the woman as she obviously wanted that and even more, he avoided every antics she emplyed to get a divorce, homeboy just had to endure, the whole thing turned the man into a junky of some sort until his health and finances started declining. The childrien had become something else, one of them got preggy and told their dad through the phone while he was in Nigeria. The woman after galavanting and stuff came down with her own ailment, bosom cancer. Na that time she come humble small, come remember say the kids should be with their father and not her boyfriends they were hitherto living with. Long and short the woman eventually died and the husband did not attend her burial. Already sef, my Uncle himself has not recovered from the whole effect of the nonsense she did. He is now retired and has little to show for his over 35yrs in the U.S. The man don dey Naija now for almost a yr and is not saying anything serious about going back to the states. The childrien obviously do not miss him either. This was a man that had a very bright beginings o. . And that dude is here yapping about local and foreign wife like it is any different.

The legal system allows for exploitation and that is why even the dumbest females with a kitten licence can capitalize on it and make claims that her forebearers and her generations unborn can never achieve.
