Family disputes in Nigeria commonly arise from marriage, child custody, inheritance, and domestic violence, and when handled informally, they often escalate and lead to rights violations or legal trouble.

Nigerian law provides clear frameworks for resolving family disputes, including the Matrimonial Causes Act, Child’s Rights Act, VAPP Act, and succession laws, all of which prioritise due process and protection of vulnerable parties.

Lawful resolution methods such as mediation, court intervention, and protection orders help prevent self-help, violence, and disobedience of court orders, ensuring disputes are resolved peacefully and legally.
