Facts of the Case
Background
The parties married in New Zealand in 2008 and later domiciled in Zimbabwe. The plaintiff issued a divorce summons in November 2021. The main disputes were custody of two minor children, maintenance, and division of assets including companies and an immovable property. The court found the plaintiff more credible and awarded her custody, with the defendant ordered to pay school fees and maintenance. The court also ordered equal division of the matrimonial assets, including shares in companies, after lifting the corporate veil.
