Richard Nii Armah Quaye, a businessman, proposed an out-of-court settlement with his former wife, Joana Quaye, in an attempt to resolve their continuing divorce dispute and bring the case to a close.
In a letter dated May 7, 2026, Mr Quaye’s solicitors, Sory & Partners@Law, notified Joana Quaye’s solicitors, Dame & Partners, that their client was ready to make an improved financial offer in order to promote unity among the family.
The idea was made “without prejudice,” according to the letter, and it was intended to advance the children’s and their families’ welfare and emotional health.
The legal team claimed that even though the High Court had mandated a GH¢300,000 alimony payment, Mr. Quaye was offering to pay an additional GH¢2 million as part of a cooperative settlement.
According to the letter, the businessman wanted to settle all existing disputes between the parties and prevent future hostilities.
The most recent development coincides with a continuing dispute over how the divorce case was handled.
Joana Quaye had earlier filed a petition with the Chief Justice and the Judicial Council against the behaviour of Justice Justin Dorgu, the trial judge.
The judge issued final orders in the case on January 20, 2026, according to the petition filed by her attorneys; however, the full written judgement was only made public on April 20, 2026, following the alleged expiration of the three-month appeal period.
Her legal team contended that she was unable to adequately evaluate and contest the decision within the allotted time due to the delay.
Additionally, the petition questioned the case’s procedural fairness and demanded an inquiry into any judicial or procedural infractions in the judgment’s management.
Due to disagreements over maintenance, child custody, and property partition, the divorce case has garnered media attention in recent months.
