Custody Battle Brewing As Herbert Mensah Sues Zanetor Rawlings To be Granted Access To Their Kids

Power couple only works when both parties wield some power, you know. This is more like an abusive relationship.

Businessman and former Asante Kotoko CEO Herbert Mensah has had it with the mother of his two kids, Dr Zanetor Rawlings. According to him, efforts to reach an amicable custody settlement with Dr Rawlings has gone unheeded, and he has no option but to resort to court.

Mensah has filed a writ at the Juvenile court in Accra, seeking to know the status of the two children- Zethe Maia Mensah and Rhia Lyza Mensah.

The writ states, in part- that:

“Take notice that this honourable court will be moved by Nene Amegatcher, Esq Counsel for and on behalf of the Applicant herein praying this Honourable Court for an order giving the Applicant herein reasonable access to Zeithe Maia Mensah and Rhia Lyza Mensah (The Children) in general and in particular for an order that:

– The children spend their holidays and weekends with the Applicant throughout the period of school holidays and weekends either in the Applicant’s home in Ghana or London;

– That the children’s biological mother, Dr Zanetor Agyeman Rawlings the respondent herein, furnish the Applicant with an update report on the children since they relocated to Ghana in January 2015 regarding their official residence, health, school and progress report.

Herbert Mensah explains his reasons for litigation in a post on Facebook, bemoaning the fact that it had to come to that- but noting that his numerous attempts to have the issue resolved amicably has been ignored by Dr Rawlings.
