Femi and Funke Kuti to appear in court June 21 to dissolve their marriage

The ex-couple who have been separated since 2003 will meet in court next week Tuesday June 21 to kick start the process to dissolve their 16year old marriage. Femi, who filed the divorce papers on grounds of 'irreconcilable differences' will stand as the petitioner, while Funke will stand as the respondent.

Funke moved out of the couples home in April 2003 but their only child Made stayed behind with Femi and Funke is said to have unrestricted access to him and she's also allowed to keep the name 'Kuti' after the divorce.

Na wa o, Made is 15 now, so that means Funke left him when he was 7??? She try o, as a mother I wouldnt have thought that was the best environment for him to grow up. Then again its naija and most men will say "leave but you cannot take MY children" mcheeewww!

Divorce from the stature of this celebrity should be a sizzling topic for the media in Nigeria. This helps educate the Nigerian people on the position and veracity of divorce in the society.

Jay, your last sentence is correct. However, she has unfettered access to Made. Femi is kind with his “irreconcilable differences” as the grounds for divorce. Good it won’t be dirty but they should keep it private.

Why must they appear in court........they have been separated for quite a long time. The lawyers can handle all the nitt-gritty without them being present.
