No Court Marriage. Must We Separate By Going Through Divorce In Court? by Remijuice: 9:30am On Mar 20, 2020
Please Forgive my Grammar.

A man and a woman living together as husband and wife with kid(s) but are not legally Married. That is, no Traditional or Court Wedding.

If one of them decides not interested in the Union, should he/she go to court before they are Separated?

Modified: If there is no Divorce Proceedings, what happens to the kids?

What I see in this case is cohabitation not marriage. So both of them should separate themselves as they wish since there was never a union in the first instance. Have you ever heard a boyfriend or girlfriend going to court when they no longer want a relationship?
The court will help in getting child support for the kids and also determining who takes custody of the kids ( father or mother).

The way u entered into the union without involving anyone is the same way u can leave without involving anyone and trust me, no one will notice.

Ok
Just that I always read these PM News or something (all these Igando Customary Court). You will find out that most of the cases of Infidelity or Domestic violence before the Court, most of the people involved were never married legally before the court.
They would be like "he got me pregnant when I was 20 years old, he promised me he will take care of me bla bla bla".

The court can only come in when there is a legal document to show that both parties were married and in this case none exist.

As for the children welfare there is no clear guide on how this should be handle since no marriage exist here.

Any one who didn't marry with the approval and blessing of the woman's father is not married. If the father is late, who ever that is next in line of authority must give her away to the man. If this is not the case, then the man stole the woman.

I don't know the kind of desperation that makes women sleep with, move in with and have babies with men who did not find them valuable enough to marry.

Having babies won't keep a man, u no go hear.

This is exactly the problem.the thread did not say a word about kids. Dude is worried about the divorce process in his situation, so my comment should also be directed at that.

There was never a marriage but cohabitation. Now, who would get the custody of the kids?
What will be the arrangement for their provisions?
Re: No Court Marriage. Must We Separate By Going Through Divorce In Court? by sisisioge: 11:37am On Mar 20, 2020
Assually, this is the easiest situation when it comes to separation. The guy and babe should just amiably agree to go their separate ways, they could also decide on the living and maintenance arrangement for the kids as well. No court, no mediation...just separate yourselves plus belongings.

We are not like the oyinbo that considers a consistent year of living together as a sort of common law marriage.

If you were not married traditionally, religiously or legally then u cant seek redress from the customary court, church or divorce court.

If you didnt think the court, church/mosque or customs important enough to seek their approval for your cohabitation you cant go to them for redress when things fall apart

If your cohabitation produced children, go to your state family services or social welfare and they will draw up a financial support plan in place as well as visitation and custody agreement for both parties.

A lady that enters into this kind of relationship is too cheap. Very very cheap girl.

That's my take.

Only the court of law can dissolve any marriage. Traditional or church marriage can only be dissolved by customary courts. Islamic marriage can be dissolved by both customary or sharia court while Statutory Marriage will be dissolved by Magistrate Court.

However, if a marriageless union has produced kids, the woman can approach a family court to claim welfare or child support for the kids if the man in question refuses to take responsibility for the kids.

Most accurate Response to this kind of cases. Go to Family Court for the settlement of the welfare of the Children. The law has provided for everything.
