Family › Re: "He Left Me, So He Must Pay Spousal Support!" Read This Before You Go To Court by Chickensoup: 3:22pm On May 23, 2025 |
LawWithEbele: "He Left Me, So He Must Pay spousal support!" Read This Before You Go to Court.
Maintenance (spousal support) is money the court may order one spouse to pay the other after separation or divorce. It helps the spouse who needs financial support.
Too many people, men and women alike, think that once you ask, the court will just award maintenance.
They believe it’s automatic. They assume it favours women. They assume it’s about who cried the most or looked more pitiful in court.
They are wrong.
Under Section 70(1) of the Matrimonial Causes Act, the court is required to consider:
Your income and the income of your spouse
Your conduct and that of your spouse
Your ability to earn and every other relevant circumstance must be considered by court before deciding whether you are deserving of spousal support and the amount to be paid.
Maintenance or spousal support is not emotional compensation. It’s a legal decision based on facts and fairness.
So before you walk into court saying: “He must take care of me!” “She must pay spousal support!”
Ask yourself:
Can you prove their earning power and means?
Can you show your own need?
Are your hands clean?
Imagine claiming for your spouse to pay you the sum of two hundred thousand as spousal maintenance per month. To be successful you have to led credible evidence to establish the means, earning capacity, conducts and other circumstances like inflation, the standard of living before things fell apart to the satisfaction of the court.
Why? Because maintenance/spousal support is not a favour. It’s not gender-sensitive.It’s not automatic.
It is measured justice based on means, earning capacity, conduct, and other relevant evidence.
Meanwhile, spousal support is for those that contracted statutory marriage.
Friends, ignorance is expensive. But wisdom? That one pays.
So, do you think Nigerian courts should set clear limits on how long maintenance should last, or should it depend on each case? Let’s hear your thoughts
I am Ebelechukwu Aroh-Nwoka, your family and property lawyer. If the wife leaves the husband, will she pay as well or it's only applies to men? |
Family › Re: My Wife Thinks I Got Someone Else Pregnant N by Chickensoup: 3:19pm On May 23, 2025 |
unzend: Hello everyone, I need your opinions on this issue that’s causing some interesting situation at home.
I’ve been working fully remote for two years now, taking care of the kids and managing the house after moving into a state in Nigeria from Lag. (I was hybrid before and go to Lag weekly before- not easy). Last Friday, my wife came back home from Lag - we stiĺl maintain our house there cos she works there , and everything just went upside down.
I stepped outside to take get somewhere, and she checked my phone (we’re recently being locking phones). She saw a pregnancy scan on my phone that mentioned something about “breech presentation.” The thing is, this scan isn’t mine! It belongs to my Farm worker’s wife. He showed it to me while talking about her condition, and I took a picture to keep it for him for hospital records and future reference. That’s all.
When my wife saw it, her mood changed instantly. She started asking me tough questions, but I gave vague answers cos I knew her tendedncy to have persismistic thoughts and conclusions. Haha! She concluded I got another woman pregnant. Before I knew it, she called my mum, then my dad. That same evening, my dad came over to comfort her. From his expression, it looked like he also thought I messed up. I just excused myself and left the room.
Now, my mum and dad have called me, saying they’re disappointed and telling me to repent from “adultery.” I got upset and told them I’m a grown man who can make my own choices, and I haven’t done anything wrong.
She informed all my in-laws and says my FIL is really angry.
The while situation has sent my wife into a spiral—she’s paranoid, heartbroken, and acting sick. She’s telling me to pay off this “woman,” block her, and never speak to her again. I told her I won’t do that cos the woman may have being her!
Right now, I’m just letting things sit to see how it plays out, but the tension between us is heavy. My wife is not herself, and my parents are treating me like I’ve sinned. She even acted up to the point She was prophesying my Downfall cos of my Adultery. Like in the spirit the 30 minutes straight. I just dey shake my head.
What's your opinion about this, I plan to keep it on for as long as I can withstand the drama. After reading what you wrote, I find it hard to believe you are saying the truth. There are ways you could have solved this issue by simply calling the friend and let the whole house listen to the conversation. Blocking the wife of your friend shouldn't affect anything as you are not blocking your friend but his wife and you can always explain to him what happened so that he doesn't take offense. I don't know your wife but she is very spot on to be suspicious. You are trying to down play it which is very obvious by shaming her of being paranoid. Sir you need to do better. If it's you impregnated someone, then going to social media changes nothing. If you didn't then do the right thing and prove your innocence. That way she will trust you better. |

This is the result of hyper corruption the black man does to their country. If the money was directed to the right places, Nigeria would be a wonderful place. No natural disaster, huge mineral resources, fertile land, global recognition, high population etc. We have everything yet we are the ones destroying our country with corruption. |

UpaIweka: Can you read ?
I said Palestinians arressted long before Oct 7 n not those arressted after Hamas attack on Oct 7. Hamas utilizes civilians and militias. I used the Oct 7th incident for you to understand that Palestinians are not arrested because Israel wants to punish them. It is highly difficult to deal with an enemy that uses Civilians as well. The conflict and pattern didn't start Oct 7th. It has been like that for a long time. A lady that was born in Gaza but moved to America explained the Anti-israel agenda they have against Israel. Let me ask you, are Israeli citizens allowed to visit Gaza? And are Palestinians allowed to visit Israel? About the irrelevant and pathetic attempt to shame my reading capacity is outdated. Bring up points if you want to discuss. |

Do you see them call the number of Hamas fighters killed? My point is that I doubt Israel arrests people for no reason. I'm not in their country so I might be wrong. You know what, let Hamas and Israel continue the war and we all will see which group suffers. |

UpaIweka: You have no knowlesge of what you talked about read up, I will not be your tutor on Isreal criminality on the Palestine.
Isreal as been arresting innocent Palestinian in thousands, tried them in Isreal military court not regular court using isresl judges and found them guilty yet refuse to let them go those are whom Isreal should release before demanding release of any Isreal hostage. I have more knowledge of that than you think. Israel doesn't just arrest random innocent people walking about their day. During the killings, the Palestinians that invaded Israel were both civilians and Hamas fighters. The media tells you things but you refused to think about it. If you are the president of a nation and the neighboring nation made it clear that they want to kill all of you while using both civilians and militias to operate, what will you do? Go and sing with them? |

UpaIweka: Of any hostage is to be released Isreal should release each n every Plaestine it as tried n found not guilty from it military court.
No isreali as 2 heads than a Palestine n before you say anytjing know that you talking to a Christian not a Muslim. What are you talking about. The Palestinians arrested in military court was due to the genocide Hamas did to Israel that caused the war but by your logic, Israel should first release those people. If Hamas releases all the captives, then why won't Israel release the innocent captives. Where did you get the information that Israel won't release innocent captives. The war can continue and Gaza will be flattened because Hamas wants to be stubborn. |

Palestine leave Gaza now and stop complaing of Israel,Israel does not kill cilivilians,hamas hide under civilians cowardly after attacking Israel,is worse genocide by hamass They don't want to leave since it was suggested and the world got upset.

Israel can't be fighting those fighting those and still believe all of them are wrong. Check within yourself.
Your excesses is getting too much The other countries are trying to please Arab nations because of oil. If they can threaten Israel, why can't they threaten Hamas to release all the hostages. You expect the war to end while Israeli hostages are in captivity? |

casualobserver: the rejected secession clause, they staged the 1st coup, they promulgated unification decree 34 which abolished regional govt in all but name and referendum they shout about today! So first of all, it wasn't an Igbo coup since people of other tribes joined in as well. The issue we are having is hyper corruption, religious fanatics and greedy criminals who kidnap and rob. Our corruption is because we gave too much power to politicians which place a huge wealth gap creating high level of poverty. Nigeria went through multiple coups not just one. We are hyper religious to the level of seeing humans as nothing but entities. Ritual killings, boko, etc. The increased crime rate has nothing to do with igbos since poverty is all over the nation. Crime rate works close to poverty. |

Romance › Re: Maami Igbagbo: Porn Star Who Has Slept With 1,000 Men Gives Life To Christ by Chickensoup: 11:26am On May 19, 2025 |
blueAgent: Dey play.
How many men do you think an average Ashewo way dey Hotel,dey sleep with in a day? Multiply it by average of 300days. You have to understand that there is a difference between "A set of men having sex with a prostitute regularly" and "A prostitute having sex with different new customers". A prostitute can have sex 500 times in a year however the men won't be up to 200 in total meaning some men visit a prostitute more than once. Look at it like this, a community might have 500 men in total, 30 prostitutes and 200 men willing to have sex with prostitutes. Among those 200 men, they will have their preferred prostitute there by reducing their numbers per prostitute. Some men that travel and stop by for some fun will add in the pool of willing men but that will also be shared among the prostitutes. This means that a prostitute will have at most 500 different men she has slept with before she quits the job. |

amaridigital: Did you think very well before writing this or you are just emotional? What about the kobo kobo prostitutes who sleeps with over five men per day in brothels and still carry overnight? There are some standing on street corners or red light districts as well. If you wish them three customers per day they will swear on you and tell you they've gone to winners on Sunday to pray for better market and prosperity. Ladies like that sleeps with over 100 men per month and their average active years in the sex industry is seven. Thus, we are talking of over 8000 body count before retirement into the house of one simp where they will continue codedly until death do them part. There is a difference between sleeping with a set of men everyday and different men everyday. A prostitute who has no money will rely on the men in that area and they won't be more than 100 men. Like I asked, how many men are in your community or area that a prostitute will meet 500 men talk more of 1000 men. |
