Military Divorce Lawyer - General Wants Court to Dissolve 30Year Marriage
General Wants Court to Dissolve 30-Year-Old Marriage

Abuja — The atmosphere at High Court Kuje was yesterday tensed as spectators wondered why a serving military general would want to divorce his wife for 30 years after having four grown-up boys.
While Mrs Mariam Abdurrahman is against the divorce because of the effect it will have on the four children of the marriage, Major-General Suraj Abdurrahmam is bent on carrying on with it.
The general petitioned the court alleging that the marriage has broken down as both couple have been staying apart for the past five years.
The general further accused his wife of not cooking for him, adding that his personal staff cook for him at home.
Other allegations stated by the general against his wife, are that before the marriage, he made it clear to his wife that he is a Muslim and will not want to marry a non-Muslim.
The general prayed the court to separate the marriage and award the custody of their four sons (that have finished school and staying in Canada) to him.
Defending the allegations, Mrs Mariam Abdurrahman said she is aware of her right to choose a religion, adding that the general knew she was a Christian when he dated her.
She said when the general eventually married her; he did not convert her to Islam and wondered why after 30 years the man is using the issue of religion as excuse to dissolve the marriage.
According to the general's wife, the marriage was contracted at Ikoyi Registry in Lagos about 30 years ago but things fell apart when the general started dating an influential society lady.
She lamented that her husband sent soldiers to remove all her belongings from his house eight weeks ago and she is presently staying at a hotel.
When the case came up for mentioning in court yesterday morning, the general's wife counsel, Barrister Lucky Chukwu who had P.N.J Okenwa with him, informed the court that the record of proceedings they got from the court on the matter was not comprehensive enough and had omissions.
The lawyers, who took over the case from another lawyer, recently wanted Justice Peter O. Affen to note when they received the proceeding but the court told the lead lawyer that they know the proper thing to do.
After a slight talk between the bar and the bench, the judge then sought to know whether the counsel was ready to continue with the matter and the counsel expressed his willingness but the Judge rose and retired to his chambers.---------------------------------

Divorce Attorney
Halftime: Norman and Evert land in the rough
The Greg Norman-Chris Evert marriage hasn't been designated for divorce court yet, but at the moment it ranks with some of the worst free agent signings ever.
After announcing they have separated, Norman is in San Francisco to captain the International team in the Presidents Cup. Evert is home in Florida, where a photog snapped a shot of the tennis legend's unadorned ring finger, just 15 months after the couple laid out $2 million for a wedding ceremony.
That's chump change compared to the $103 million it cost Norman to divorce his wife of 26 years, Laura Andrassy. She's proving that no one laughs a last laugh harder than a ditched ex, telling the Sydney Sunday Telegraph:
"They say opposites attract. Here were two people very much alike -- high profile and narcissistic people -- and that would make a relationship difficult . . . Both he and Chris are adults and they were supposed to know what they were doing, but they were in the throes of lust and weren't thinking . . . But being with Chris is what Greg wanted. Well, he got it."
A British tabloid, The Mirror, says Evert wasn't happy about moving into Norman's Jupiter Island estate, where he had lived with Andrassy. If true, we can understand that. When living in a $60 million Florida mansion, you want to be the one who picked out the wall paper, right?
Evert's split from two-time Winter Olympian Andy Mill cost her a settlement of $8 million and a $4.6 million home in Aspen.
Good luck to Norman at the Presidents Cup, but I'm guessing the mind of the Great White Shark will be on how many dead presidents have been wasted during this short-sighted lark. (2008 photo by Jeff Bassett/AP/Canadian Press)

Military Divorce - Female airmen, caregivers split up the most
Military Divorce
Female airmen, caregivers split up the most

Forget everything you thought you knew about marriage and divorce in the Air Force. Most of it isn’t true.
Airmen in career fields with the highest deployment tempos don’t get divorced more than those who spend most of their time at home station. Fighter jocks, supposed playboys, actually get divorced less than the force as a whole. And those whose job is to care for others — nurses, social workers, family support center staff and educators — have the hardest time staying married.
As of August, 70.9 percent of officers and 56.3 percent of enlisted were married, and 4.4 percent of active-duty officers and 7.3 percent of enlisted airmen were divorced.
Among adults in the general population, 50.5 percent were married and 10.5 percent were divorced as of 2007, the latest year for which data is available from the U.S. Census Bureau.
An analysis by Air Force Times of the service’s marriage and divorce statistics turned up surprising conclusions. Many defy easy explanation.
* Female airmen are two to three times more likely than male airmen to be divorced and are less likely to be married. Among active-duty officers, 3.1 percent of men and 10 percent of women are divorced. For enlisted, the numbers are 5.8 percent of men and 13.1 percent of women.
* Officer career fields with both the highest and lowest percentages of divorce are tied to health care. Physicians generally are the least likely to be divorced, and nurses, physician assistants and health care administrators the most likely. Operating room nurses have the highest percentage of divorce, 15.6 percent.
* Some enlisted career fields with the lowest divorce percentages are those most heavily deployed — pararescue; survival, evasion, resistance and escape; tactical air control party; and security forces. Those with the highest percentages include the fields of education and training, paralegal, personnel, family support center and military training instructor.
The reasons for divorce among airmen are myriad, said Chaplain (Maj.) David Carr, the marriage and family coordinator in the resource division of the Chaplain Corps College, co-located with the Army Chaplain School at Fort Jackson, S.C. But a major factor, he said, is a misunderstanding of what marriage should be and how much work it involves.
“A lot of folks just have this feeling that love should be a natural thing,” Carr said, “and when the love stops then the marriage must end, rather than thinking ... love is going to be up and down and ... it needs to be maintained.”
