According to reports reaching me, some fresh
details have emerged on the controversial divorce between Pastor
Oyakhilome and his wife, Anita.
See below how the report was narrated: -
There are indications that reconciliation
moves are on course between the President of Christ Embassy, Rev. Chris
Oyakhilome and his wife Rev. Anita who have been in the news in the
past week over the divorce proceedings the latter filed.
The decree nissi, with suit number
FD14D01650, was filed on 9th April 2014 at Divorce Section A, Central
Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn in London by Anita’s
lawyers, Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors.
City People Magazine reports that, to
have a divorce in the UK, both parties must have a marriage that is
legally recognised in the UK, and have a permanent home in England or
Wales. Getting a decree nissi, there are 5 grounds: adultery;
unreasonable behaviour; desertion; 2 years’ separation; and 5 years’
separation. In the case of Rev. Chris, adultery wasn’t cited but the
decree nissi was reportedly served to him during a recent visit to the
UK.
According to the Family Law in UK, decree nissi is
a document that says that the court doesn’t see any reason why you
can’t divorce. This is usually applied for if one’s husband or wife
doesn’t defend a divorce petition.
After 6 weeks, the applicant can apply
for a ‘decree absolute’ to end the marriage. The decree absolute is the
legal document that ends a marriage, and the applicant needs to wait at
least 6 weeks after the date of the decree nisi before applying for a
decree absolute. This delay gives a chance to discuss finances and other
issues (between the couple) before the marriage comes to an end.
