Ghanaian man returns to Ghana from the US to avoid child support after his wife divorces him

• Nana, a Ghanaian living in the US, revealed that her ex-husband fled to Ghana after their divorce to avoid child support payments
• The marriage ended after she refused to share a joint bank account and control over her finances amid allegations of domestic violence
• Despite divorcing almost a decade ago, he has not seen their children since he left the US

Nana, a Ghanaian living in the US, says she has been the only one taking care of her children since she got divorced because her ex-husband fled to Ghana to avoid child support payments.

Nana said she met her ex-husband online in the early 2000s and moved to the US to be with him. She admitted that she:

“If they had met before, they might not have continued the relationship because he wasn’t my specification.”

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Nana said their marriage took a turn for the worse when issues arose over finances and control.

Nana started working in the US and her husband demanded control over her earnings and insisted on a joint bank account. As tensions increased, Nana refused to share a joint account, further straining their relationship.

“It wasn’t bad for him to keep it, but I couldn’t get to the money when I needed it,” Nana explained.

The situation worsened due to allegations of domestic violence and lack of respect in the marriage. Ultimately, her husband left Nana after she decided to maintain control of her finances.

After their divorce, he was legally obligated to provide child support for their children. However, he fled the US and returned to Ghana, leaving his responsibilities behind. Nana has been divorced for almost ten years.
