“I pray the court to end our relationship and grant me custody of our child in order to guide her from taking after her mother’s immoral lifestyle.

“I further request an order restricting her from threatening me, coming to my place of abode or work place to fight me, or interfere with my private life.”

Omolara in her response said, ’’All that my husband said is true.

“I sought a means of survival for myself because he neglected me and failed to meet my needs.

“I am also no longer interested in our marriage, which was why I decided I would walk out of it taking our child along with me.”
