Joana Breaks Silence on Divorce Demands, Reveals Shock Over Judge’s Remarks During Settlement Ruling

Joana, the ex-wife of Ghanaian business mogul Richard Nii-Armah Quaye, has opened up about the demands she made during their divorce proceedings, explaining the reasons behind her requests and recounting her experience during the court’s final settlement ruling.

In a recent interview shared by ASK Ghana, Joana provided details of what she initially requested from her former husband as part of their divorce settlement. She also expressed her disappointment and surprise over the outcome of the court’s decision, particularly some of the remarks she says were made by the presiding judge.

According to a breakdown of the settlement demands displayed during the interview, Joana initially requested GH¢50 million in cash, four cars, all the houses owned by Richard Nii-Armah Quaye, including his mother’s residence, and 50 per cent of his companies. She also requested custody of their three children.

However, the court’s final decision differed considerably from her initial demands.

The settlement reportedly awarded her GH¢300,000 in cash, two cars and one house. The court also granted her custody of their three children, with their upkeep to be fully covered by their father.

Speaking about the judgment, Joana recounted how surprised she was by the judge’s comments during the proceedings. She claimed that, while delivering the ruling, the judge looked at her and remarked that she was beautiful and would eventually find another man to marry.

The comment reportedly left her shocked, particularly because she was expecting the proceedings to focus on the issues surrounding the divorce and the settlement arrangements.

Joana further claimed that the judge appeared to be fumbling while delivering the judgment, a development she found concerning as she listened to the court’s decision.

Her account has brought renewed attention to the divorce proceedings and the differences between what she initially sought and what the court eventually granted.

The discussion also raises broader questions about the expectations of parties involved in divorce settlements, particularly where significant financial interests, property and the welfare of children are involved.

Although the court’s decision outlined the financial and property arrangements, Joana’s recent revelations have provided another perspective on her experience throughout the proceedings.

Her comments are likely to generate further public discussion about the settlement, the judge’s alleged remarks and whether the final outcome adequately addressed her expectations.
