April 8, 2026 – Joana Quaye, the former wife of Ghanaian businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye (popularly known as RNAQ), has filed an appeal challenging the High Court’s decision that dissolved their marriage and distributed some of the properties acquired during their union.The Notice of Appeal was filed on April 1, 2026, at the Court of Appeal Registry. Joana Quaye is being represented by former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, and his legal team.The appeal targets the final judgment delivered on January 20, 2026, by Justice Kofi Dorgu, who sat as an Additional High Court Judge in the Family Court Division. The High Court had dissolved the 16-year marriage between the couple, who have three children together. The court awarded Joana Quaye a one-third share in a property at Dansoman, a lump sum of GH¢300,000, and GH¢5,000 monthly for the maintenance of the children.In the appeal, Joana Quaye is seeking orders from the Court of Appeal to set aside the entire High Court judgment. She wants the appellate court to grant her a fair and equitable share of all assets acquired during the marriage, including Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s shares and interests in various companies.According to the grounds of appeal, the High Court’s decision was “manifestly inadequate, inequitable and unfair.” Her legal team argues that the trial judge failed to properly assess her significant contributions — both direct and indirect — to the acquisition and growth of the marital assets. They contend that the court did not fully recognize all properties and company shares as joint marital assets.The couple’s four-year legal battle has centered on the division of substantial assets built during the marriage. Joana Quaye claims she was a co-founder and played a key role in the establishment and growth of Quick Credit & Investment Micro-Credit Limited (now known as Bills Micro Credit Limited), which formed the foundation of her ex-husband’s business empire. Properties allegedly acquired during the marriage include houses in prime areas such as Trasacco Estate and East Legon, as well as luxury vehicles.Legal observers note that the appeal raises important questions about the equitable distribution of marital property in Ghana, especially in cases involving family businesses and significant wealth accumulated during marriage. The case is expected to attract considerable attention as it moves to the Court of Appeal.No immediate response has been received from Richard Nii Armah Quaye or his legal team regarding the appeal. The Court of Appeal is yet to give directions on the hearing of the matter.
