The petitioner denied having been informed of this previous marria}{ \fs24\lang2057\langfe2057\langnp2057\insrsid9598039\charrsid13113521 ge and stated that, in fact it is when he learnt of it that he separated from the respondent.

Of the four children only Faith Kagwa is still a minor a nd is at school. The others are adults. Faith Kagwa lives with the petitioner at Entebbe while the respondent lives at Kabale. The}{\fs24\lang2057\langfe2057\langnp2057\insrsid9070803\charrsid13113521 respondent does not seem to mind that the petitioner remains in custody of this child so long as she is allowed access to her. In this respect she requests that the daughter stays with her for two of the three school holidays in a year. This is opposed by the petitioner because this period would be longer than the period he himself would stay with the children when he is s u pposed to be having her custody. There was even a suggestion that the girl may refuse to spend any holiday with her mother in Kabale because she has not been to Kabale for the last ten years. It must be appreciated that the upbringing of any child is th e responsibility of both parents and thus responsibility goes beyond any financial or material support that the child gets from either parent. So the suggestion that the girl may refuse to go to visit her mother during holidays is most unfortunate because her mother\rquote s input in her upbringing is most essential. It was also suggested that the respondent can access her daughter through telephone or arranged visits but I do }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe2057\langnp2057\insrsid6306254\charrsid13113521 agree that a mother\rquote s access to her child should be so restricted. In the circumstance s I will grant the respondents prayer that the child spends two of the school holidays with her with an allowance that the petitioner spends a week of such holidays with his daughter. It will be up to the girl to arrange with her mother as to which of th e two holidays she will wish to spend with her. This arrangement requires co-operation from all concerned for its objectives to be achieved and the girl would be advised to desist from disobeying this order if at all she is contemplating doing so. }{ \fs24\lang2057\langfe2057\langnp2057\insrsid5848126\charrsid13113521 \par }{\fs24\lang2057\langfe2057\langnp2057\insrsid6306254\charrsid13113521 \par Then the issue as to what property, if any the respondent is entitled to. From the submissions of both counsel and the authorities provided there seems to be no contention that at the termination of a marriage or a relationship including cohabitation neither s pouse walks out of the marriage empty handed. This is in recognition of the fact that each of the spouses makes a contribution towards acquisition of the matrimonial property and this contribution is not necessarily financial. There is still controversy as to what matrimonial property is because in this case the respondent is laying claim to property which the petitioner considers his own or his mothers.
