When Marriage Becomes Difficult is a clear and practical guide for anyone trying to understand what the law says when a marriage is facing serious challenges.

Many people do not know the difference between separation and divorce. Some believe that once couples stop living together, the marriage has automatically ended. Others believe that one spouse must sign before divorce can happen. Some parents use children as weapons during conflict, while others are unsure about child custody, child support, property, maintenance and family rights.

This book was written to reduce that confusion.

In simple, human language, First Baba Isa explains key issues that Nigerian spouses, parents and families should understand when marriage becomes difficult.

The book covers:

The different types of marriage in Nigeria.
The difference between separation, divorce and annulment.
What to consider before deciding on divorce.

This guide does not tell anyone to leave or remain in a marriage. Instead, it helps readers understand their position clearly so they can make informed decisions, ask better questions and seek proper legal guidance where necessary.
