Their marital problems started in 2013 around the same time as Andrew Mwenda's revelations on Amama Mbabazi's Presidential bid.

Patrick immediately turned his guns on his father-in-law accusing him of betraying president Museveni, at that same time Racheal was quietly acquiring a court order dissolving their marriage in court.

Here, she applied for a decree nisi seeking divorce with Patrick Kateihwaho.

A decree nisi is a document that says that court doesn't see any reason why you can't divorce.

This development came to light during Patrick's application for the custody of their 3 children at Nakawa Magistrates court Family Division.

Patrick was shocked when in her defence, Racheal said  "The Applicant and i are not husband and wife. He was not aware of the divorce.

Racheal claims she left her Marital home because of the domestic Violence Meted out on her by Patrick and this she did for the protection of her children. Now the battle moves to who gets to keep the children.

However what is the underlying issue is the messy results of Amama Mbabazi's decision to run against President Museveni in the february 2016 elections. This issue split the young family into two and it was at the centre of the couples fights, as Racheal insisted on standing by her father and Patrick chose the president.
