fine from this stage, Pastor Chris and his wife might
just be back in each other's embrace. It is possible,
keep your fingers crossed and pray for them.
Indications have emerged that reconciliation moves
are on course between the Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
and his wife Rev. Anita, who have been in the news
in the past week over the divorce proceedings the
latter filed in a court in the UK. The divorce case,
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.
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.
In fact, for Anita to Divorce Pastor Chris, there are 5
grounds:
Alleged relationship with other women,
unreasonable behaviour; desertion; 2 years
separation; and 5 years' separation. In the case of
Rev. Chris, adul-tery wasn't cited but the decree nissi
was reportedly served to him during a recent visit to
the UK.
City People Magazine reports that, 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.
For now, Pastor Chris has six weeks to settle and
reconcile with his wife. 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.
If he doesn't meet up to settle with his wife, their
individual lawyers will address matters of finances
and other issues (how they will share their money
and assets) before the marriage comes to an end.
