May Edochie’s Divorce Battle Stalled Due To Absence Of Yul Edochie And Judy Austin’s Lawyer

The divorce proceedings between Nollywood actor Yul Edochie and his estranged wife, May Edochie, hit a snag due to the absence of Yul and his second wife, Judy Austin‘s lawyer.

May’s legal representative, Emeka Ugwuonye, who shared the latest update on social media, revealed that Yul Edochie was present, but the court could not hear any substantive matter because of his lawyer’s absence.

Ugwuonye explained that the scheduled trial couldn’t proceed as planned because Yul’s and Judy Austin’s lawyer had informed the court of his illness two days prior, requesting a postponement and suggesting alternative dates for the hearing.

While a new court date has been set for June to continue the proceedings, Ugwuonye expressed concerns about the delays in the case but remained confident that justice would prevail.

He highlighted the various issues at stake, including social media activities, child welfare, marital property, May’s safety, and the status of the marriage itself.

While urging patience from supporters, Ugwuonye emphasized the importance of detailed legal proceedings and cautioned against believing everything reported in blogs, as many may not accurately reflect the situation.

The lawyer assured fans that May Edochie is doing well and encouraged everyone to remain calm and trust in the legal process.

He wrote, ‘’YUL EDOCHIE’S CASE CAME UP TODAY

“Trial could not go ahead today as scheduled because two days ago, Yul Edochie’s and Judy Austin’s lawyer wrote a letter to the court stating that he was unwell and stating that he would not be present in court today as a result thereof. He proposed a number of dates in the future as an alternative and requested the court to indulge him.

“Usually, the court would give a lawyer the benefit of doubts in such a situation. May’s lawyers would not like to question the integrity of the opponent directly, even though the excuse was a tendentious occurrence.

“Today in court, Mr. Yul Edochie was present, but without his counsel, he court could nor hear any substantive matter. A new date has been set in June.

“We are all concerned about delays and protraction of this case. But we remain confident that justice will be done in due course by this court.

“As you know, several issues are involved: from the activities of the parties in the social media, to the welfare of the children, to the issues of marital properties, safety of May, and the final status of the marriage itself.

“As we have done in the past, we urge all well-wishers and supporters to be patient. The legal process is very intricate and the best approach has to be meticulous and painstaking.

“Despite our concerns about delays, we are confident that May is fine and will remain so. There should be no cause for worries at this point.

“We also urge you to resist the temptation to believe things you read in the blogs. Most of the blogs have no idea what is going on, but will go to every extent to suggest otherwise. Thank you.”

KanyiDaily recalls that during a previous proceeding, Yul Edochie disclosed that his marriage with Judy Austin is primarily focused on creating skits, emphasizing that they are skitmakers.
