CASE: Anaya & Anaya [2019] FCCA 1048 After 46 years of marriage, Mr & Mrs Anaya decided to call it quits. They divorced when they were both in their 80s. What caused the separation may be considered to be a simple financial transaction or the straw that broke the camel's back. There was a lot to consider when deciding how to divide the matrimonial assets, including: Whether to include a significant inheritance the wife had received earlier in the relationship; What weight to give to the husband's financial support to the wife's three children; How to treat significant financial losses when the wife was scammed TWICE post-separation; and What would be an appropriate settlement after the husband died in the middle of the proceedings. It as a sad and acrimonious end to a lengthy relationship and serves as an example of the careful balancing act required of the Family Law Courts.
