Divorce Showdown: Yul and May Edochie’s Legal Battle Intensifies as Court Orders Further Talks
The divorce saga between Nollywood star Yul Edochie and his estranged wife, May Edochie, has taken a new turn as their lawyer, Emeka Ugwuonye, shares fresh updates on the high-profile case.
In a dramatic legal development, the court held a compulsory conference as mandated by Nigerian family law. This legal process requires both parties to engage in discussions, along with their lawyers, in an attempt to resolve at least some of the contested issues before the court.
Ugwuonye, in a Facebook post, provided a detailed breakdown of the proceedings:
DPA UPDATE ON THE DIVORCE CASE OF MARY YUL-EDOCHIE V. YUL EDOCHIE AND UCHECHUKWU JUDITH MUOGHALU (JUDY AUSTIN)
“The court held a hearing on the case today. The issue before the court was the report of the compulsory conference previously ordered by the judge.
A compulsory or mandatory conference is a requirement in family law proceedings under Nigerian law. It provides an opportunity for the divorcing parties to discuss and attempt to reach agreements on certain aspects of their separation, such as property division and other contested matters. Any agreements reached are then conveyed to the court through a formal report.
However, in the last court session, it was revealed that no conclusive agreement had been reached between Yul and May Edochie. As a result, the court extended the timeframe for further discussions, granting them more time to hold another virtual conference.
The court expects to receive an updated report during the next hearing scheduled for March. If the parties continue to disagree, the court will then decide the direction of the trial.
This latest update comes as May Edochie continues to push for legal resolution regarding her marriage, while Judy Austin’s involvement in the case remains a key point of contention. She stands accused of committing adultery with Yul Edochie and falsely claiming to be married to him despite his legal ineligibility for a second marriage.
With tensions running high, all eyes are now on the next court date to see whether the estranged couple will reach any form of settlement or if the case will escalate into a full-blown courtroom battle.
Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding legal drama.

Scottish-Nigerian actress and reality TV star Carolyna Hutchings has finally extended an apology to her fellow castmate, Laura Ikeji, in the ongoing season of The Real Housewives of Lagos, marking a dramatic turn in their long-standing feud.

In an emotional moment, she publicly apologized for a rumor she had previously weaponized against her colleague.
“I heard an unflattering rumor about Laura, and I used it to abuse her, and I’m sorry. I made a statement that I wasn’t in a position to make. It didn’t matter if I heard it, saw it, or was told by a close friend; regardless, I wasn’t supposed to say that,” Carolyna confessed.
The apology has sparked mixed reactions among fans, with some applauding Carolyna’s maturity and growth, while others remain skeptical about the sincerity of her gesture. The unexpected reconciliation adds another layer of intrigue to the already drama-packed reality series.
With tensions seemingly easing between the two stars, viewers are left wondering if this marks the beginning of a new friendship or just a temporary truce. As The Real Housewives of Lagos unfolds, fans are eagerly watching to see how this newfound peace will impact the show’s ever-evolving dynamics.
