Celano and Natoli

In the matter of *Celano and Natoli*, Collier J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered a dispute between a husband and wife concerning property division, spousal maintenance, and child support. The wife had filed an application on 18 November 2011, to which the husband sought to restrain her from pursuing relief on these matters.

The court was required to determine whether the wife should be restrained from agitating claims for property division, spousal maintenance, and child support. Additionally, the court had to consider the wife's application filed on 18 November 2011, and whether it should be dismissed.

Collier J ordered that the respondent wife be restrained from agitating any relief, whether presently commenced or intended to be commenced, in relation to the division of the parties’ matrimonial property, spousal maintenance, and child support for their child. The wife's application filed on 18 November 2011 was dismissed. The court noted that both parties indicated no application for costs would be made, irrespective of the outcome.
