This was a divorce petition instituted by the Petitioner Wife (“PW”), in which she sought, inter alia, a decree of divorce, joint guardianship with sole custody care and control of the child of the marriage, an order for the division of matrimonial assets, spousal and child maintenance including arrears, against the Respondent Husband (“RH”). The PW is also seeking damages from the 2nd Respondent for alleged adultery with the RH which the PW claimed had caused the breakdown of the marriage. 2. The RH responded and cross-petitioned in October 2021 contending that the PW had conducted herself or behaved in such a manner that he could not reasonably be expected to continue living with her. 3. At the conclusion of the trial, this Court granted reliefs in part covering the divorce and claim for damages against the 2nd Respondent. The claim for child maintenance and other expenses were adjusted and allowed and more access provisions were accorded to the RH. The Court ruled that the PW is entitled to a half share of the matrimonial property and the sum equivalent value of her half share shall be deposited into a savings account for the Child to be applied towards the future needs and welfare of the Child.
