Just when I thought all was over, my wife(as we are currently going through divorce and not divorced yet) showed up with court papers, fighting for the custody of our children and wanting me to pay certain amount of money monthly for child maintenance.
This is the same woman who didn't bat an eyelid when she left the kids with me. I asked myself before turning over the court papers to my lawyers the reason for her petition when she's aware of her negligence towards the children of the marriage? My lawyer had to make me understand she wanted money and believing she won't get it from me, she needed valid excuse to get the money.
Just when I've finally adjusted to living lives with my children, she showed up again and I wonder if there are people who don't like seeing others happy simply because they believed life must revolve around them!!
Explaining the new development to the children who are just 5 years old, the girl, who I call my little angel told me she's not willing to go stay with their mother but the boy is divided between staying with her or not.
The first hearing of the case comes up on the 8th of this month and as it draw nearer, the old, negative feelings started creeping back but knowing writing for me is therapeutic, I decided to write about it as I'm not ready to discuss this with anybody aside my lawyer.
My Lawyer has given me so much hope of triumph as here in Nigeria, custody battle between parents is always decided in the best interest of the children and not necessarily given to any of the parents because you are the mother or the father.
I believed with the little I've done for the past five months in taking care of the children and creating a better bond with them, I'll win the children's custody. I hope anyone reading this will wish me best of lucks with the custody case.
