Emeka Ugwuonye, the lawyer for May Yul-Edochie, has asked the public to stop fixating on the timeline of her divorce from Yul Edochie.
In a Facebook post on May 25, Ugwuonye clarified that, contrary to popular belief, the divorce process between May and Yul is ongoing.
He emphasized that the main focus now is on ending the marriage, the right to remarry, and seeking damages from Judy for her affair with Yul.
He also mentioned that matters regarding their children’s custody, child support, and the division of marital assets have been resolved.

I feel compelled to address those who seem overly fixated on the finalization of Queen May’s divorce. I am making this post because I cannot respond to each individual inquiry.
As I have previously mentioned, a divorce case involves four key issues: (1) dissolution of the marriage and the right to remarry, (2) optimal arrangements for the children (including custody, visitation, and child support), (3) division of marital property, and (4) damages against Judy for her adultery with Yul.
Many of you appear to overlook issues (2) and (3) while fixating solely on issue (1), perhaps due to a lack of proper information or a skewed perspective. Among these issues, (1) is the easiest to resolve; however, it cannot be addressed until (2) and (3) are settled.
Every divorce case is unique, and progress depends on its specific facts and procedures. In Queen May’s case, we have made significant strides because the parties have reached agreements on issues (2) and (3), and a working arrangement is in place. What remains is issue (1). Additionally, we have issue (4), which pertains to damages against Judy for her adultery with Yul.
I don’t want to sound harsh, as I understand that your concern for May drives your obsession with issue (1). However, your persistent focus on this singular aspect reflects a lack of understanding and can be quite frustrating. Why are you so preoccupied with the timeline for the dissolution of May’s marriage? You seem to act as if she is in some form of bondage because her divorce hasn’t been finalized. In reality, May is free to live her life; the only limitation is her inability to remarry, which is not her priority at this moment.
I suspect many of you are looking for gossip—hoping to hear about a new romantic interest or impending marriage that you can use to proclaim victory for her by finding another husband. You might even want to compare Yul to whoever her next partner may be regarding wealth or attractiveness.
Please exercise patience. The lawyers are competent, and the case is progressing. Yes, it may not be the fastest divorce process, but there is no need for this level of obsession. Just the other day, one individual insulted me for not resolving the divorce case quickly. If you cannot maintain a disciplined and understanding perspective on the situation, you are not helping May; rather, you are being disruptive.
May is doing well. She has no plans to remarry at this time, so she is not concerned about the timing of her divorce. She has her children, is in control of the family house, and is doing well economically. She appreciates your support, but without additional pressures on her lawyers.”
