Lawyer to businesswoman, May Yul-Edochie, Emeka Ugwuonye, has asked people to stop being preoccupied with the timeline of her divorce from Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie.Â
In a post shared on his Facebook page today May 25, Ugwuonye stated that contrary to opinions, the divorce proceedings between the May and Yul is in progress.Â
He stated that the crux of the matter at the moment is dissolution of the marriage, right to remarry as well as ‘damages against Judy for her adultery with Yul’.
He stated that issues surrounding their children’s custody and child support have been ironed out as well as the division of marital property.Â
‘’Setting the Record Straight on Queen May’s Divorce: A Call for Understanding and Patience.
I feel compelled to address those who seem overly fixated on the finalization of Queen May’s divorce. I am making this post because I cannot respond to each individual inquiry.
As I have previously mentioned, a divorce case involves four key issues: (1) dissolution of the marriage and the right to remarry, (2) optimal arrangements for the children (including custody, visitation, and child support), (3) division of marital property, and (4) damages against Judy for her adultery with Yul.
Many of you appear to overlook issues (2) and (3) while fixating solely on issue (1), perhaps due to a lack of proper information or a skewed perspective. Among these issues, (1) is the easiest to resolve; however, it cannot be addressed until (2) and (3) are settled.
Every divorce case is unique, and progress depends on its specific facts and procedures. In Queen May’s case, we have made significant strides because the parties have reached agreements on issues (2) and (3), and a working arrangement is in place. What remains is issue (1). Additionally, we have issue (4), which pertains to damages against Judy for her adultery with Yul.
I don’t want to sound harsh, as I understand that your concern for May drives your obsession with issue (1). However, your persistent focus on this singular aspect reflects a lack of understanding and can be quite frustrating. Why are you so preoccupied with the timeline for the dissolution of May’s marriage? You seem to act as if she is in some form of bondage because her divorce hasn’t been finalized. In reality, May is free to live her life; the only limitation is her inability to remarry, which is not her priority at this moment.
I suspect many of you are looking for gossip—hoping to hear about a new romantic interest or impending marriage that you can use to proclaim victory for her by finding another husband. You might even want to compare Yul to whoever her next partner may be regarding wealth or attractiveness.
Please exercise patience. The lawyers are competent, and the case is progressing. Yes, it may not be the fastest divorce process, but there is no need for this level of obsession. Just the other day, one individual insulted me for not resolving the divorce case quickly. If you cannot maintain a disciplined and understanding perspective on the situation, you are not helping May; rather, you are being disruptive.
May is doing well. She has no plans to remarry at this time, so she is not concerned about the timing of her divorce. She has her children, is in control of the family house, and is doing well economically. She appreciates your support, but without additional pressures on her lawyers.”
