Baden and Baden and Anor

The parties to this proceeding were the Husband and Wife, with the Second Respondent also noted in the orders. The dispute concerned parenting arrangements for the children of the marriage and the division of their property. The matter came before Johns J in the Family Court of Australia.

The court was required to determine the terms of consent orders regarding the parental responsibility and living arrangements for the children, as well as the allocation of various assets and liabilities between the parties. This included the disposition of real property, vehicles, financial accounts, superannuation entitlements, and business interests.

The court made orders by consent, reflecting an agreement reached between the parties. These orders stipulated that the Wife would have sole parental responsibility for the children, who would live with her, and the Husband's time with the children was reserved. The orders also detailed the transfer of interests in property, the refinancing of mortgages and loans, and the retention of specific assets by each party. The court noted that the parties intended these orders to finally determine their financial relationship.
