"Special Contributions - What's so Special.?"

New Family Court Case mentioned by Sydney Morning Herald


Read the story here -  The Family Law Act requires a consideration of the contributions of the parties to a relationship to be assessed in terms of financial, non-financial and homemaker and parents terms together with other facts affecting the parties and relevant to their particular cirucmstances.  The decision in this case is significant in that it has dismissed the application of the "special contribution" by the husband which is often raised in "big money" cases involving assets in the millions of dollars.  The matter reported on has been remitted back to the Family Courts for rehearing.
