Woman gets divorced after claiming maintenance whilst leaving with the baby’s father. A bid to claim maintenance from her husband, while still under the same roof, has cost a Chitungwiza woman her marriage. Chipo says she is now staying with her mother.
Chipo Choga was chased out of the house by her husband, Norman Takawira, after claiming maintenance for her two minor children.
Their differences came to light when Chipo appeared at the Harare Civil Court claiming $7500 per month from Takawira.
Chipo claims Norman is not taking full responsibility of his children. “He buys groceries in the house once or twice a year. “He pays school fees and takes children to school when he wants,” she said.
She said her husband has a truck he hires out but he brings nothing home to help support his children. However, Noman said he wants to support his children but he had nothing to offer for now.
“I can manage to give her $1000 per month because I am not working these days. “I have another wife, and four children, who also need my support, yet I am not working,” he said.
The husband also added he pays electricity bills and provides meat, which he gets from the farm, to the family. Magistrate Nyasha Marufu ordered Noman to pay $10 000 per month starting from February 28, 2022.
