ALDRIDGE & MAZZOTTI

In the matter of *Aldridge & Mazzotti*, heard before Faulks DCJ, the dispute concerned financial matters between the parties, including applications relating to child support and property settlement. The applicant, Ms Aldridge, sought orders for a departure from the standard child support assessment, including a child assessment and a lump sum departure order. The respondent, Mr Mazzotti, was ordered to pay a sum of money to Ms Aldridge.

The court was required to determine whether to grant Ms Aldridge's applications for departure orders under the *Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989* (Cth). These applications sought to depart from the usual method of child support assessment, specifically requesting a child assessment and a lump sum departure order. The court also had to consider the property matters between the parties.

Faulks DCJ dismissed Ms Aldridge's applications for both a child assessment departure order and a lump sum departure order under the *Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989* (Cth). The reasoning for these dismissals is not detailed in the provided text. However, the court ordered Mr Mazzotti to pay Ms Aldridge the sum of $95,500 within ninety days of the judgment. Furthermore, the proceedings concerning property matters were removed from the active cases list. The court also made orders regarding the return of material produced by subpoena.
