This question lies at the heart of Ugbah v. Ugbah (2025) LPELR-81732 (SC), a Supreme Court decision with important implications for matrimonial maintenance and family law practice.
The case raises a fundamental question: Does a spouse have to seek the dissolution of a marriage before asking the court to enforce an obligation of maintenance?
