DARIAN & DARIAN

In the matter of *Darian & Darian*, Foster J of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia considered an application by the husband concerning child support assessments. The husband sought a stay of these assessments for the period between 1 July 2019 and 31 December 2020, and also brought a further amended application filed on 20 December 2019.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the husband was entitled to a stay of the child support assessments for the specified period. The court was also required to determine the fate of the husband's broader application filed in December 2019.

Foster J refused the husband's application for a stay of the child support assessments and dismissed the application. Furthermore, the court dismissed the husband's amended application filed on 20 December 2019. The court reserved judgment on costs, directing parties to file written submissions within specified timeframes.
