How i hate the memories of standing as a witness and the victim in the court. Going to the court except for little issues like an affidavit or an excursion has not been on my list of do's before but i guess things happen for a reason which may be positive or negative.
I remember Sharing a story of my parents separation and how my mum had to cope for years with the help of no one to bring my siblings and i up to this level of life. Going to the court for my parents divorce had so many problems as it was one party who agreed for the divorce. I'll love to share with everyone the journey and outcome of the divorce story of my parents.

THE STRESSFUL JOURNEY OF THE COURT....
It was 2021 March, when my mum decided to file a divorce on my dad. I didn't really know what triggered my mum to file a divorce because, she never really cared about him not being with us and all that but i figured out that things where becoming too tough for her to handle and she needed some child support from him which will never happen except for the interference of the court. Finding a lawyer was not really a big deal as her close friend was a SENIOR ADVOCATE and was willing to help her.
On the other hand, my dad refused to sign the divorce papers for reasons unknown to us. I and my siblings called and texted to get responses on why he didn't want to sign the divorce papers so, they can go their separate ways but nothing came out of it as he refused to give a tangible reason.
My mum's lawyer decided to send a summons to my dad letting him know that his presence is needed in the court with a deadline. When he finally came, he came with a lawyer and he agreed to the divorce but demanded that the my siblings and i be under his custody. And this was what led us to the child custody and support department.
My mum had quite am upper hand at this aspect because, we where all grown up to speak for ourselves in the court and say who we wanted to be with and the reasons we wanted to. Though i noticed that my dad was using his influence and money to win this case, because, they kept adjourning it not untill this year September when the case was finally judged.

THE AFTER RESULT
Though i wanted to feel the love of a father even at this age, i hated him for what he made my siblings and i pass through so when i was asked to swear and speak, i said everything i could remember that i passed through because he never cared for us, how he was aware of our condition but never wanted to be part of our life's and all of a sudden, wants to put us in his custody?
My sister said she'll commit suicide if they where to hand her over to him and my little brother also refused to stay with him.
But even after all these, the judge said my dad was much more stable than my mum which is true and for that reason, my dad is to supply us with monthly allowance and train us in school but we'll have to stay with him every weekend as that was the only time he was free.
Looking at this case, i feel like my mum won because, she got her divorce,the assistance she wanted and she also got us ☺️. Thanks for reading to the end guys....i appreciate ♥️😊
