Property division in a divorce can quickly turn into a major point of conflict.

It often comes as a surprise to couples that the name on the property title does not dictate which spouse keeps the asset.

Property division and separation upon divorce generally follows the rule of equal settlement.

👨‍⚖️ Understanding Child Custody Laws in Nigeria 👩‍⚖️

Did you know that in Nigeria, the courts decide child custody after divorce, with a primary focus on the child's best interests?

It's a vital aspect of family law that seeks to ensure the well-being and future of our children.

Surprisingly, many people may not fully grasp how these laws work, leading to misconceptions and disputes. To protect our children and ensure fairness, it's crucial to educate ourselves and others about child custody laws in Nigeria.

Let's spread awareness and encourage a clearer understanding of the legal processes that safeguard our children's futures. 💕

Cyberbullying is more than just words – it's using the internet and devices to hurt or humiliate others. In Nigeria, the Cybercrimes Act defines this as 'cyber stalking,' causing fear to another person through digital means, and it is a criminal offence. Let's unite against this harmful behaviour on social media. Spread positivity, not fear. 💪🚫
