The divorce proceedings involving the former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, and his ex-wife Gifty, reached a conclusion in an Accra High Court on October 31, 2023.
The court officially dissolved their marriage, which had been established in 2013, and issued rulings regarding the paternity and custody of their three children, as well as the distribution of landed and vehicular properties concerning Gifty.
In his initial public response to the case’s resolution, Gyan conveyed through a tweet that he had approached the outcome with maturity and that he had successfully retained a significant portion of his wealth.
Gifty Gyan’s major relief requests and the court’s decisions are as follows:
Reliefs Rejected:
- Alimony of US$1 million: The court rejected this request. Alimony is financial support provided to a spouse during separation or following a divorce.
- Share of Asamoah Gyan’s stake in various businesses: The court held that Gifty Gyan failed to prove Asamoah Gyan’s ownership in these businesses.
- Share of an East Legon mansion and Baby Jet Heights property: The court ruled that these properties were not considered spousal properties.
- Cost and legal fees: This request was also dismissed.
Reliefs Granted:
- Landed property: Gifty Gyan will receive ownership of Asamoah Gyan’s UK mansion.
- Four-bedroom house at Spintex in Accra: This property is awarded to Gifty.
- Ownership of land designated for a fuelling station in Prampram: The court granted Gifty this property.
- Vehicles: Gifty Gyan is given a BMW and an Infiniti.
These are the outcomes of the court’s decisions regarding the relief requests made by Gifty Gyan in her divorce proceedings with Asamoah Gyan.
