The legal counsel of May Edochie has appealed to the public to remain patient regarding her divorce proceedings.
May had filed for divorce from Yul Edochie and demanded N100 million in damages in 2023.
This was after the actor unveiled Judy Austin as his second wife in April 2022.
In a recent Facebook post, the lawyer revealed that May’s ongoing divorce proceedings from Yul remain unresolved due to several critical legal factors.
DPA disclosed that while two of the four main issues, child welfare and property division have been settled, the marriage dissolution (rights to remarry) and adultery claim are still being processed.

The lawyer also criticized the “obsession” with the finalisation of the divorce, adding that public pressure is not helpful to their client.
According to DPA, May is “in control of the family house, doing well, and has no plans to remarry at this time.”
The post assured that the estranged couple’s divorce case is progressing and being handled by competent lawyers.

“A divorce case involves (1) dissolution of the marriage and the right to remarry, (2) optimal arrangements for the children (including custody, visitation, and child support), (3) division of marital property, and (4) damages against Judy for her adultery with Yul,” it reads.
“In May’s case, we have made significant strides because the parties have reached agreements on issues (2) and (3), and a working arrangement is in place. What remains is issue (1) and (4).

“I understand that your concern for May drives your obsession. However, your persistent focus on this can be quite frustrating. Why are you so preoccupied with the timeline for the dissolution of May’s marriage?
“You seem to act as if she is in some form of bondage because her divorce hasn’t been finalised. In reality, May is free to live her life; the only limitation is her inability to remarry, which is not her priority at this moment.
“I suspect many of you are hoping to hear about a new romantic interest or impending marriage that you can use to proclaim victory for her. You might even want to compare Yul to whoever her next partner may be regarding wealth or attractiveness.

“Please exercise patience. The lawyers are competent, and the case is progressing. It may not be the fastest divorce process, but there is no need for this level of obsession. Just the other day, one individual insulted me for not resolving the divorce case quickly. If you cannot maintain a disciplined and understanding perspective on the situation, you are being disruptive.
May is doing well. She has no plans to remarry at this time, so she is not concerned about the timing of her divorce. May has her children, is in control of the family house, and is doing well economically. She appreciates your support, but without additional pressures on her lawyers.”
Yul and Judy Austin, his second wife, recently welcomed their third child together.
