Court reviews bid to restrict Hajia4Reall’s access to RNAQ children in divorce case
Proceedings in the divorce case between Joana Quaye and Richard Nii Armah Quaye on Tuesday, June 2, focused on an application before the Family Court in Accra seeking to limit the access of Mona Faiz Montrage, popularly known as Hajia4Reall, to the couple’s children.
The court considered a motion for maintenance orders pending appeal, during which the Petitioner requested restrictions on the children’s interaction with Hajia4Reall and a reduction in the Respondent’s access time.
In support of her application, the Petitioner submitted video evidence and referenced issues relating to Hajia4Reall’s previous imprisonment, arguing that her association with the children may not serve their best interests. She also claimed that the children’s social media behaviour had been negatively influenced by their environment while under the Respondent’s care.
Court filings further cited a video involving one of the children, which the Petitioner said raised concerns about supervision and welfare. The documents indicated that the matter had been brought to the Respondent’s attention, and he acknowledged concerns regarding the child’s behaviour.
The Petitioner also alleged that the Respondent’s limited availability during visitation periods meant the children often spent extended time with Hajia4Reall and her child, who reportedly live with him.
The Respondent, represented by counsel Nana Boakye Mensah-Bonsu, opposed the application, arguing that the orders sought would directly affect a non-party who had not been given the opportunity to be heard, raising concerns about natural justice.
He further contended that the reliefs requested were not legally available and questioned the court’s jurisdiction to grant post-judgment orders.
However, counsel for the Petitioner, Godfred Yeboah Dame, argued that provisions under Order 65 Rule 23(3) and (4) of C.I. 47 and the Matrimonial Causes Act provided legal grounds for the court to issue post-judgment orders.
He added that the Petitioner would not oppose the service of the motion on Hajia4Reall and her participation in the case if the court deemed it necessary.
Regarding the video evidence, the Respondent’s legal team indicated they would respond after the court reviews the material.
The court subsequently adjourned proceedings to June 26, 2026, to review the video evidence, hear further arguments arising from it, and consider the pending application for injunction.
