AI Generated Summary

In the High Court of Ghana, Her Ladyship Justice Cynthia Wiredu adjudicated a matrimonial dissolution proceeding arising on a cross-petition. After considering the cross-petition and the Cross-Petitioner evidence, and noting that the parties had filed terms of settlement concerning ancillary reliefs, the court found the marriage had broken down beyond reconciliation and ordered dissolution. The court adopted the parties terms of settlement filed on 19 March 2020 as part of the judgment, rendering them binding. Those terms required the Respondent to pay GHa210,000 as alimony consistent with customary and traditional practices, continue providing for the education and maintenance of the child, award custody to the Petitioner with the Respondent having access during vacations and weekends, cancel the marriage certificate, and order each party to bear their own costs.
