</div>The
evidence led by both parties is to the effect that they married under the
Ordinance on 3rd February, 2001. <o:p></o:p>Matrimonial
differences emerged between the parties which members of the family and church
members have unsuccessfully tried to resolve despite several attempts. <o:p></o:p>According
to the parties there is no hope of the marriage being salvaged. Accordingly I
am satisfied that the marriage between the parties has irretrievably broken
down. The same is thus herein dissolved. <o:p></o:p>The
parties shall have joint custody of the two children of the marriage Deladem
Fummey and Kafui Fummey with the Petitioner having care of the children with
reasonable access to the Respondent which shall include Saturdays, Public
Holidays and School Vacations as will be mutually agreed by the parties. The
parties shall share the payment of school fees equally in respect of the two
children of the marriage as well as medical expenses which are not covered by
Petitioner's employer. <o:p></o:p>The
Respondent shall pay the sum of GH¢550.00 per month to the Petitioner as
expenses and maintenance of the two children of the marriage. The money for
expenses and maintenance of the two children shall be subject to review from
time to time. <o:p></o:p>The
Respondent is hereby ordered to pay the Petitioner the sum of GH¢15,000.00
being the balance due on the agreed financial settlement of GH¢25,000.00 on or
before 28th February, 2013. <o:p></o:p>The
Respondent as the sole beneficial owner of property No. 5 Agbaamo Street,
Airport Residential shall create a trust in the property for the children
(Deladem and Kafui Fummey) and shall accordingly execute a Testamentary Deed in
that regard. <o:p></o:p>

There
shall be No Order as to costs.<o:p></o:p></main>
