Why Choose Remote Divorce
Divorce is personal—and sometimes painful. With Unbound’s Remote Divorce service, you can finalize your separation without ever stepping into a courtroom. Here’s why going remote makes all the difference:
- Maintain Your Privacy: Skip uncomfortable courtroom disclosures about sensitive matters (from health issues to personal allegations).
- Avoid Face‑to‑Face Conflict: You don’t have to see or interact with your ex‑spouse if it causes you distress.
- Save Time & Stay Productive: Handle everything online in minutes—no need to take a full day off work.
- Save on Cost: Nigerians living abroad can complete their divorce from anywhere in the world—no costly travel required.
How It Works
- Personal and Marriage Documents
- Financial Documentation
- Child Custody Considerations
- Adultery (include proof of adultery)
- Cruelty (include evidence of cruelty)
- Your attorney collects your brief online and prepares a Notice of Petition along with the necessary supporting documents.
- You review the drafted documents to ensure they reflect your instructions accurately. The petition is then filed at the High Court in Rivers State (filing is done in Rivers State only for now, this is because it is the only State that supports fully remote proceedings).
Serving and Responding:
- Your spouse is formally served with the petition and accompanying documents, either personally or through a court-approved alternative method.
-The respondent (your spouse) submits an Answer in response to the petition.
- Prepare for the hearing by reviewing all filed documents and ensuring that original or certified copies are readily available.
Hearings are conducted via Zoom.
- In uncontested cases, the court may proceed swiftly without a full trial.
- In contested cases, both parties (or their legal representatives) will present arguments, supporting documents, and witness testimony.
Decisions on Ancillary Matters:
The court will address additional matters such as child custody, spousal support, and property division. We will connect you to legal practitioners that will handle your entire divorce process, with you participating from the comfort of your home
Finalizing the Divorce:
- A Decree Nisi (temporary divorce order) is issued and becomes a Decree Absolute (final divorce certificate) after 90 days, in accordance with statutory law.
Administrative Updates:
- Maintain a detailed record of financial obligations and payments.
- Update your marital status on all official documents, such as passports, bank records, wills, and company records.
Unbound provides guidance to ensure smooth post-divorce documentation updates.
