Emeka Ugwuonye, the legal representative of May Edochie, has made allegations against Yul Edochie, claiming that he has abandoned his responsibilities as a father and husband.
According to Ugwuonye, Yul has stopped providing financial support to his children with May Edochie, instead telling them to rely on their mother for their needs.
This, Ugwuonye suggests, is a neglect of Yul’s paternal duties and a violation of his marital obligations.
Ugwuonye also alleged that Yul has attempted to justify his actions by claiming that May earns a higher income than him, implying that she is capable of supporting their children alone.
He asserted that Yul’s decision to marry Judy Austin while still being married to May under the Marriage Act constitutes a criminal offence.
He added that Yul’s actions are a clear violation of the law and a betrayal of his commitment to May and their children.
“Yul is not supporting his children as we speak. He is not at all. Yul told his daughter that their mother is making more money than him now.
“Can you imagine? So now you are going into polygamy and you cannot take care of the children? You want to try polygamy? So please do not compare the two.
“If you have a marriage under the Marriage Act and try to marry a second one, that is a crime,” he said.
