Divorce Proceedings: ‘We Are Skitmakers,’ Yul Edochie Asserts, Denying Marriage to Judy Austin

Yul Edochie asserts he is not married to Judith Austin, clarifying that their relationship is solely focused on creating skits, despite being parents to two children. The divorce proceedings initiated by May, Yul’s estranged wife, take an unexpected turn at the FCT High Court in Abuja.

May’s legal team, led by Emeka Ugwuonye, reveals Yul’s denial of their marital status in court filings, attributing it to misinformation from the Gistlover blog. The court proceedings, originally scheduled for March 5, face complications, with Yul and Judy claiming credit for the disruptions. May’s lawyer unveils their defense strategy, highlighting Yul and Judy’s insistence on their skitmaking connection.

Yul’s legal response refutes May’s assertion of a traditional marriage ceremony in April 2022, citing Gistlover’s alleged spread of false information. Despite these denials, May’s legal team points out the couple’s two children and their plans for a third child, challenging the narrative of a purely skitmaking relationship.

May’s lawyer shares details of the petition and responses, emphasizing Yul and Judy’s categorical denial of the alleged traditional marriage. Initially considering bigamy charges against Yul, May opts for divorce and adultery damages against Judy to avoid potential legal consequences for Yul.

The primary focus remains on divorce grounds due to adultery and damages claims against Judy. May’s legal representatives dismiss misinformation, attributing it to a blogger allegedly influenced by Judy. They stress that Yul and Judy’s admission of having a child together serves as clear evidence supporting May’s claims of adultery.

As the legal battle unfolds, Yul and Judy maintain their denial of any marital connection, while May insists on addressing the wrongs she perceives. May’s lawyers underline that the admission of having a child together is a key factor supporting the adultery claims, forming the basis of the ongoing divorce petition.
