Balsom & Hagerman (No 2)

In *Balsom & Hagerman (No 2)*, the Honourable Justice Young of the Family Court of Australia made orders concerning the division of property between Mr Balsom (the applicant) and Ms Hagerman (the respondent), who were in a de facto relationship. The proceedings involved the distribution of funds held by Darwin Family Law and the allocation of various assets and chattels.

The court was required to determine how the parties' financial resources and assets should be divided between them on a final basis. This included deciding the specific amounts of money to be released from joint funds and which party would retain particular assets, such as vehicles, boats, and other chattels. The court also needed to address the disposition of household possessions.

Justice Young ordered that Darwin Family Law release $50,343.00 to the de facto husband and $111,979.00 to the de facto wife from the funds held. The de facto husband was also to retain specific motor vehicles, motorcycles, boats, an ablution block, a cool room, and containers for his sole use and benefit. Furthermore, each party was entitled to keep all household possessions currently in their respective possession. All other outstanding applications were dismissed.
