The lawyer of May Edochie, the estranged wife of Nollywood actor and failed presidential aspirant Yul Edochie, has given an update on their divorce trial.
In a Facebook post, Emeka Ugwuonye of Due Process Advocates (DPA) Organisation, representing May Edochie, revealed that Yul’s lawyer was not in court on May 7, 2024, for the divorce proceedings.
It was gathered that the trial could not go on after Yul and Judy Austin’s lawyer wrote a letter to the court stating that he was unwell and would not be able to attend.
DPA Organisation revealed further that Yul was, however, present in court but without his lawyer, and a hearing could not be held as a result.
Taking to social media, many noted how Yul still loves May, hence why he is playing tactics to avoid the divorce.

One Nolly Critic wrote, “Why is he dragging the divorce? Shey, you are happy with your newfound love, sir?? Move on with her and let May go, na.
One Braids By Sandry wrote, “Never underestimate the strength of a quiet woman
One Mide Cup of Tee wrote, ‘Yul loves May, just that the forces that visited him is bigger than him”.
It is no longer news that Yul married his colleague, Judy, which led to his crashed marriage with his wife and the mother of his four kids, May Edochie.
Following his second marriage, May filed for divorce from him, demanding N100 million from Judy, and had also filed a restraining order denying him access to their former marital home and had gotten full custody of the kids.
In the last court update, May’s lawyer revealed that Yul and Judy Austin had admitted to adultery, and as such, there was nothing more than May had to prove in her case against them.
He revealed that the adultery charges that were levelled against them had already been admitted, which proves May’s case against them.
A report later emerged that Yul had expressed that he and Judy aren’t legally married and rather they have a relationship that is all about skit-making.
He also expressed that he shares two children with Judy Austin and drew parallels to Skitmaker Sabinus and other comedic actors.
