Rev. Chris Oyakhilome Has 6 Weeks To Reconcile With His Wife Anita

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.

Unsba media can authoritatively report 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.
