Aguilar & Aguilar

In the matter of *Aguilar & Aguilar*, heard by Stevenson J, the dispute concerned the financial arrangements between the parties following their separation. The wife was ordered to pay spouse maintenance to the husband, with options for either periodic payments or a lump sum. The husband was also given directions regarding vacating the matrimonial home.

The court was required to determine the appropriate quantum and duration of spouse maintenance, as well as the timing for the husband's departure from the former matrimonial home. The court also considered the final disposition of outstanding applications related to the financial settlement.

Stevenson J ordered the wife to pay spouse maintenance of $250 per week for two years, or alternatively, a lump sum of $25,145. The wife was to elect between these options within 14 days. The husband was to vacate the property within one month of receiving the lump sum payment, or within three months of the orders being made if the periodic maintenance option was chosen. All other outstanding applications were dismissed.
