Ugandan music legend Jose Chameleone and his longtime wife Daniella Atim have reportedly agreed to officially end their marriage after living separately for the past five years.

According to reports published by New Vision, the divorce mediation process was handled by acting principal judge Justice Jane Okuo Kajuga, with both parties reaching agreements on child custody, child support, and some family property matters.

Daniella Atim reportedly cited physical and emotional abuse, as well as neglect of both her and their children, among the reasons she filed for divorce from the celebrated singer.

In the agreement reached during mediation, Daniella will retain custody of the couple’s five children while Chameleone will have visiting rights.

The “Valu Valu” singer is also expected to provide monthly child support amounting to $2000, which is approximately Shs7 million.

One of the major issues discussed during the mediation was the family house located in Seguku. Reports indicate that Daniella wanted the property sold off, but Chameleone preferred that it remains a family home where relatives and family members can continue staying whenever necessary.

As for other properties and assets acquired during the marriage, the final decision is expected to be determined by the courts of law.
