In a shocking turn of events, May Edochie has officially initiated divorce proceedings against her husband, renowned actor Yul Edochie, with whom she shares three children. Represented by prominent human rights lawyer Femi Falana and the Eculaw group, May is also seeking N100 million in damages from Yul and his second wife, Judy Austin, citing alleged adultery as the reason for her demand.
The latest update on the couple’s turbulent marital crisis was provided by the DPA Family Law Clinic, who confirmed that Judy and Yul had been notified of the lawsuit and had received copies of the suit papers via email. However, it appears that both Yul and Judy are evading the service of the court process, as the court bailiff’s attempts to deliver the papers have been unsuccessful.
While Yul Edochie and Judy might have displayed bravado on social media, they seem unprepared for the serious legal challenges ahead, as they continue to avoid being served with the court documents. The consequences of their actions could have serious implications for their case.
May Edochie is not only seeking divorce but has also filed for a court order to prevent Yul from accessing their former matrimonial home. The businesswoman expressed concerns for her safety and that of her children, alleging that Yul’s behavior has become erratic, irrational, aggressive, and increasingly threatening. She further raises suspicions that he may be under some unknown influence, the nature of which is yet to be revealed.
In a recent incident, security officials had to intervene to prevent Yul from entering their home, as all matters related to their marriage and dealings are now subjudice. May’s decision to take this measure was prompted by the need to safeguard herself and her children, ensuring their protection and security during this trying time.
