Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a divorce take in Nigeria?
An uncontested divorce can be finalised in 3-6 months. Contested divorces can take significantly longer depending on the complexity of the issues and court scheduling.
How is matrimonial property divided on divorce?
Nigerian courts consider various factors including the contributions of each spouse, the welfare of any children, and the circumstances of the marriage. We advise on likely outcomes and negotiation strategy.
Can I get a court order for child custody?
Yes. Nigerian courts can make custody, access, and maintenance orders in the best interests of the child. We guide you through the process sensitively and professionally.
