Jose Chameleone and Daniella Atim’s Divorce Battle: Custody, Property, and Allegations of Neglect

Music legend Jose Chameleone and wife Daniella Atim, married since 2008, are finalizing their divorce proceedings after nearly two decades together. At the center of the case are Daniella Atim’s claims of neglect and emotional abandonment, which she cites as key reasons for filing for divorce in March 2025. She alleges that she bore the responsibility of raising their five children without adequate support for five years.

Daniella seeks sole custody of their children, full ownership of their home in Seguku, and comprehensive financial support, including the payment of legal fees. Chameleone, while agreeing to financial maintenance, disputes the ownership of the family home, asserting that it should rightfully be held in the children’s names.

The veteran artist further denies any neglect, stressing that the decision to move to the U.S. was mutual. He has also accused Atim of estranging the children from him and is currently pursuing visitation rights. This divorce portrays the personal struggles behind one of Uganda’s most celebrated celebrity couples, with a legal battle that continues to captivate the public’s attention.
