The orders award custody of the child to the Respondent while preserving reasonable access for the Petitioner; require the Petitioner to pay GH¢800 monthly maintenance, subject to annual review, and to cover school fees; assign the Respondent responsibility for clothing and related items; award the Respondent GH¢30,000 alimony; and direct that each party bear their own costs.
