JUDGMENT<o:p></o:p>

</div>The Petitioner
filed a petition on 9th August, 2006 for the following reliefs among
others:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the
marriage between the parties herein be dissolved as the same has broken down
beyond reconciliation.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the
parties, be ordered to be equally responsible for the care and upbringing of
the three children of the marriage and that the petitioner be fully responsible
for Kofi Ewoniah Acquah.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The Respondent
entered appearance to the petition and filed an amended answer on 5th
March, 2009 in which she denied the reliefs being claimed by the Petitioner and
rather asked for the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the
marriage be dissolved on grounds of unreasonable behaviour on the part of the Petitioner.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
